How Starlight Technology Is Redefining Low-Light Surveillance

It’s the middle of the night, and someone is approaching your home. They travel discreetly up the side of your lawn and break into your garage, tampering with the lock. Now they’re inside your house and are stealing your belongings.

If you have a smart security system, alarms and lights should have been activated automatically. But if your entire property isn’t covered, or if an intruder finds a way to avoid being seen, all you’ll be left with is dark, impossible-to-see footage on your security cameras. That will be no help when handing it over to the authorities, and you won’t be able to catch the criminal.

That’s where starlight security cameras are changing the game. The lowlight cameras make surveillance systems just as effective during the night time as during the day. To see how starlight cameras, like models by Luma, can help your Charlotte, NC, home, discover the benefits below.

Why Home Media Rooms Can Benefit from Short-Throw Projection & ALR Screens

Are you building or updating your home’s media room? If so, you may be weighing your options between a TV or projector. We understand—it can be a tricky decision. TV screens generally have a brighter picture than projectors, and projectors are more suited to large, dark rooms like home theaters. On the other hand, projectors can create an immense image size that TV dimensions can’t compare to. But have you considered short-throw projectors? You may discover the best of both worlds.

With a short throw projector and an ALR screen by Screen Innovations, you can enjoy the benefits of a projector screen in your living room without compromising video quality or sacrificing space. The projector is placed right in front of a screen like a DVD player, so you won’t have to worry about ceiling measurements and installation. But that’s not all.
