Smart Lighting

Lighting and shading control enable you to set the perfect amount of light at the touch of a button or the sound of your voice. These systems give you unprecedented control, provide a superior experience, and increase security in your home. When implemented correctly, they will turn off when you set your alarm and dim before you go to bed.

Motorized Shading

Having designed and installed more electronic shades over the past decade than anyone else in the Southeast, the Audio Advice team has come to love what electronic shades can do for homeowners.Watch our video to learn how to select the right motorized shades for your home.

Security & Cameras

Audio Advice designs all of our systems specifically to meet your personal security requirements. This includes creating zones of protection - defined areas covered by specific sensors and detectors. In the event of an alarm, having defined zones enables the system to communicate where the alarm is occurring as well as the type of alarm (i.e. intrusion or fire).

Outdoor Audio & Video

Whether you're looking for some simple outdoor speakers, rock speakers, or a custom-designed Sonance landscape system, we can help. Our speakers can blend right in with the environment, providing incredible sound to your entire backyard. We can even bury outdoor subwoofers, to provide literally earth-shaking bass.

Whole Home Audio

Imagine being able to instantly create zones for different combinations of rooms, and control everything from your mobile device or a sleek panel on your wall. The operation of our whole-house music systems is simple, with navigation easily learned by even a non-technical person in a matter of minutes.
