Personal Technology Is Here for You, Your Family & Your Smart Home

We’re living in a strange and surreal time in history with COVID-19 social distancing measures, stay-at-home orders, and building closures. Many of us have transitioned to working remotely and conducting e-learning with our kids at home.

Admittedly, some of us are probably streaming Netflix and Hulu more than usual, which means you may have noticed how lacking your TV and surround system are or the annoying lag of your home network as it handles the increased demand. This is where Personal Technology can help you, your family, and your Pasadena smart home.

Wi-Fi Network Updates

Networks in California experienced a 46.5% traffic uptick from March 1 to March 31, 2020. We are demanding more from our home networks than ever before, but is your network performing as it should or are you frequently waiting for videos to buffer or dropping the connection during important virtual work meetings?

Adding additional wireless access points to your Pasadena-area home will allow your devices to connect to your Wi-Fi without any dead spots throughout your home. Adding multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) technology adds simultaneous Wi-Fi transmission capability, so each device on your network can connect without slowing down other devices. Personal Technology can review your existing smart home network setup and suggest the best method of action to bring your network connections into 2020.

Improved Security & Convenience

Grocery and package deliveries have increased drastically since we’re all spending more time at home. Many package delivery people opt to not knock on doors or ring doorbells due to many complaints in the past regarding waking up sleeping children or riling up dogs. Without the knock or doorbell ring, how are you to know that you have a package sitting on the porch?

With a video doorbell, you can thwart porch pirates from taking advantage of this situation. Any movement on your doorstep is detected, and you will receive a notification on your smart device. Then, you can view live footage of who or what is at your door. If someone does ring your doorbell, you can even speak with them through the video doorbell station. If you’re busy upstairs helping the kids with schoolwork, there’s no need to drop what you’re doing to go to the door. Talk about a timesaver when things are hectic!

TV Upgrade

Once the remote workday is over, you’re sure to take some time in your media room or home theater to relax for the evening. If it’s been several years since your last TV or speaker upgrade, you may be left wanting more. Most TVs aren’t meant to offer dynamic sound quality on their own, which is why soundbars and home theater sound systems are a popular addition.

If your screen is too small to enjoy the latest Netflix binge or video game battle, then consider an upgrade to a larger TV display. Sony’s A9G with 4K resolution comes in sizes up to 77 inches, or plan for the future with the Sony Z9G 8K display with digital upscaling capability to bring you video content the way movie and TV show creators intended and sizes up to 98 inches. Both are part of Sony’s award-winning MASTER Series.
