Orange County Audiovisual Company, Good Sounds, Expands Networking Services
Good Sounds, an established and well-respected audiovisual company in Orange County, California, announced recently that they have expanded their networking services to better serve their residential clients.
COSTA MESA, Calif., Jan. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Good Sounds, an established and well-respected audiovisual company in Orange County, California, announced recently that they have expanded their networking services to better serve their residential clients.
The team at Good Sounds now has the ability to build a network from the ground up for new custom homes in Orange County, or they can survey and upgrade existing networks, utilizing the latest in networking technology. They provide networking for typical wired homes as well as for Orange County homeowners with WiFi networks.
In addition to typical networking needs, Good Sounds provides connections for AV networks using AV over IP solutions. AV over IP provides homeowners with many advantages over traditional AV infrastructures, including greater scalability and flexibility for AV systems and better distribution of the AV processing capabilities. It is also typically more cost effective than traditional AV setups.
Another area where Good Sounds has increased its networking capabilities is in the area of home security. Good Sounds employs an approach that relies mainly on local storage of video security footage, but is augmented with cloud-based support.
Mitch Goodz, owner of Good Sounds, had this to say about his company's approach to home security, "Systems that are solely cloud-based, such as the popular consumer systems like Ring, are susceptible to critical failure if the client's Wi-Fi or ISP service goes down, or if there is a power outage. All of our systems are built on IP cameras and hard-wired directly to a local Network Video Recorder with battery back-up to ensure our clients' protection. If the ISP, local Wi-Fi, or even power goes out, our camera systems keep recording video and sending it to a secure local storage device. In addition, cloud-based systems can be hacked or compromised, creating a security breach."
Goodz continued, "What the cloud does offer is a supplemental way to back up your local storage, and it provides some very useful tools on searching through recorded video for particular events. It is a powerful tool, but not the answer to all applications, which is why we use a combination of cloud and local storage."
All of the networks set up by Good Sounds have the capability to be monitored remotely. Using robust, cloud-based products like Pakedge, SonicWall, and Meraki, Good Sounds is able to stay on top of threats to their clients' systems, monitor the status of the network devices, receive data on download/upload speed degradation, and track necessary updates in firmware for the devices.
