The Crown Heights neighborhood in Brooklyn is on the rise. New restaurants, apartment buildings and other small businesses are gradually moving into the community. People from Manhattan are discovering the charm of this once overlooked area that also happens to have great access to the subway system. An older neighborhood, once defined by crime and ethnic division, emerges with new life when residents suddenly decide that their neighborhood has something special to preserve and potential that is worth discovering.
Mezuri Systems, a local small business, is doing its part to revitalize the neighborhood. Mezuri specializes in the sale and installation of electronic integration products such as security systems, access control, lighting systems and data networks. Mezuri often serves the local community by improving residential and commercial spaces. In 2011, construction will be completed on a new apartment building located on 958 Nostrand Avenue. The construction of a modern apartment building will invigorate the neighborhood and supply new residents to patron local businesses. The new building houses 98 units and is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, designed and installed by Mezuri Systems.
This new development is a chance for Mezuri to do what it does best -- provide a residence with the latest technologies available on the market. The building will be equipped with access control technology, providing safety and security for the residents. Each apartment will have a video intercom system that allows tenants to view who is requesting entrance. The building will also feature a concierge for additional security. Not only does the video intercom display who is ringing the bell, but it will also view the gym and the laundry room. This helps a tenant to avoid carrying their laundry downstairs only to find that there are no machines available. Music and movies can be enjoyed through built-in surround sound speakers that are placed in the ceiling. Another great feature of this building will be the dedicated home theater screening room. Tenants will be able to rent the room and invite friends to a private film screening. Normally this is an unheard of feature in an apartment building, especially in New York where space is a precious commodity. The common areas will have a pool table, poker table, bar for entertaining, Wi-Fi, roof access and also a private outdoor rec space. This apartment building is ideal for entertaining guests and as a refuge from the congested city.
In order to revitalize a neighborhood, local small businesses are usually required to take charge and lead the way by turning their own community into a more livable place. Not only is this particular apartment building contributing some new life to the neighborhood, but the surrounding areas have also started to develop and flourish. New bars, restaurants and small business have opened and are attracting more people to the neighborhood. Some people consider Crown Heights to be a welt-kept secret, however such secrets tend to not last very long. Many neighborhoods in Brooklyn have taken this path of rejuvenation within the last decade, and small businesses like Mezuri Systems are working to make sure that their neighborhood is on the path to a productive transformation.

Recently there has been a flurry of activity in the home automation market from mobile and cable service providers. AT&T, Verizon and Motorola have each purchased or invested in home automation companies such as Xanboo and 4Home. Apple and Microsoft have also displayed interest in this emerging technology.
What does this mean for home automation?
Right now, there are a few key players that dominate the industry. Crestron, Vantage, Control4, AMX, and HAI create some of the most widely used technologies for automated systems. Will these companies be able to keep up with the powerful brands of AT&T and Verizon? It depends.
Microsoft and IBM have attempted the transition into home automation before but with little success. Normally an automated home system only appeals to and is acquired by more affluent clientele. Is it possible to create home automation technology that is not only affordable but also compatible with more modest lifestyles? Another factor to consider is that most automation systems require custom installation and a knowledgeable technician to implement. Will this new technology be streamlined enough for an efficient and inexpensive installation?
There are a few ways in which it seems that these established communication companies may be onto something. As energy prices continue to be unpredictable and inevitably rise, people may soon find it advantageous to more closely monitor their energy usage. A system such as this could operate in conjunction with energy providers for more efficient resource distribution. It could also be useful in regard to home security by allowing a customer to monitor the home through a smart phone with access to in-home camera systems. These are possible directions that home automation systems may take in order to be useful for the average individual.
Home automation is an extremely specialized industry. It is not as simple as connecting a wire to provide cable television or installing a phone jack. The technological advances that the industry will have to make to become a common feature in most homes are huge. On the other hand, it is impossible to know the route that automated home systems will take in the hands of companies that dominate industries such as smart phone and computer technology. Their challenge will not only be how to make it easy to use and affordable for the average customer, but also to create a product that people decide is necessary for their everyday lives.
At Mezuri Systems, we already have the knowledge and expertise to handle such projects. Our core belief is that home automation systems belong in every home and should be affordable enough to provide real benefits to the customer.

While our offices are closed due to the treacherous road conditions making it impossible to drive anywhere, we still had to make sure that our snow man is protecting the neighborhood :-)
At Mezuri we are watching 24/7.
Imagine a world in which as soon as you enter your home, the house recognizes you, knows your preferences and acts accordingly. Perhaps the house senses that you are tired and turns down the lights to help you relax. Maybe your favorite music comes on when you enter your bedroom or the coffeemaker turns on when you wake up. With the arrival of the Kinect from Microsoft, these ideas may eventually become a reality for homeowners.
The Kinect is a gaming device for the Xbox that enables video game users to control the game without the use of a hand-held device. It can detect movements, perceive depth and even use facial recognition software to identify the user. Using infrared lights, which are invisible to the human eye, the device can track the human body in real time. The Kinect is also equipped with multi-array microphone software and is therefore capable of voice recognition and response to commands.
What does this mean for the home automation industry? It means that that a new era of home automation is just beginning and the possibilities are subject to interpretation.
As of today, HAI Automation Systems and Lutron Controlled Lighting Systems are operated via touchscreens or buttons. It is possible that in the future, all of the automated systems we use in the home could respond to a homeowner’s needs based on sensory to motion, temperature, voice or even facial expressions. Most security systems are operated with codes that only the homeowner knows. Facial recognition software could eliminate the need for entering a password or preventing an unauthorized person who may know the code to enter the home.
The Kinect also has a chat feature which allows Xbox Live users to communicate with each other without the use of headsets or any additional hardware. This could make it possible to talk on a telephone anywhere in the home, eliminating the need for devices such as phones or intercoms.
Technology continues to advance rapidly and new uses are being realized every day. Right now, video gamers are enjoying this recent development but soon anyone who owns a home may be able to benefit from these innovations.
Well, the BuildingsNY/GreenBuildingsNY show this year was a terrific success!
We interacted with more consumers and colleagues than ever. It was very encouraging to meet so many people excited about sustainable energy solutions for buildings and homes.
At our booth, we were happy to talk to visitors about our home automation systems, access control security systems, cctv security surveillance, home theater installations, and audio distribution systems. There are many experts in attendance at the trade show, so yes, it was a lot of shop talk, but we also had the chance to chat with people less familiar with, say, cctv security surveillance, and it was a real pleasure to share what we have to offer with them.
If we met you at the Javits Center, thanks so much for stopping by, or hosting us as we made our rounds, checking everything out. If you learned a little something more about cctv security surveillance, we’re happy. We’re happy in any case, and look forward to GreenBuildingsNY 2011. See you next March!
Mezuri Systems just finished exhibiting at the BuidlingsNY 2010 trade show that took place at the Javits Center in New York. It was a real pleasure catching up with our customers and meeting all our new friends and customers. We loved your input and were excited to showcase our knowledge and expertise.
Biometric access control security systems, are often overlooked but are incredibly useful in keeping your business or residence totally safeguarded. This is primarily because biometric security systems employ some of the most cutting edge technology to date. Here is a little more information about Biometrics:
What Makes Biometrics Secure?:
-Biometric systems have been developed around unique characteristics of the individuals who have been granted access. The probability of 2 people sharing the same biometric data is virtually impossible.
-Unlike traditional security systems, access can’t be shared because a biometric property is an intrinsic property of an individual. Being that you can’t give someone a copy of your face or handprint, especially with new technologies that ensure the biometric data is authentic, unwanted access is nearly impossible.
-Unlike a key or even an access card, a person’s biometric property can’t be lost, unless the person is in a serious accident.
If you are interested in safeguarding your home or business with biometric access control security systems, contact a Mezuri systems representative for more information. Mezuri Systems is the NY Tri-state’s leader in residential and commercial security systems, and only a leader in the field like Mezuri Systems has the expertise to properly install and configure an advanced system like a Biometric access control system.
