Mobile Phone Apps

National App Day – #NationalAppDay

Short for Software Application, apps quickly appeared when our mobile devices incorporated smart technologies. As the power of our phones increased with processing chips, internet connectivity, and touchscreens, so did the apps that became available. Apps have also become a great way to control many things in your home and business such as music apps an WiFi apps.

Apps Used By RSI

Here are just a couple of apps that RSI uses to control products/services with your home and business.

HEOS By Denon
From speakers, soundbars, and amplifiers, Heos by Denon products can give you full home music in every room. You can use their app on your phone or smart devices to control all music in all rooms at once or each individual room seperately.

eero Wifi

Having lousy WiFi connections does not make using apps any fun and can get very frustrating. eero Wifi can help greatly improve your connection throughout your entire home and office.

Keycard or keyfob controlled for your business’s entrance doors are getting pretty popular these days.

Home Theater Vs Movie Theaters

Think installing a home theater system would be very expensive? One of the biggest things that home owners shy away from building a home theater is the fear of the costs involved. But really, when you actually sit down with a pen and paper to crunch the numbers, a home theater will actually help you save money very quickly compared to going out to movies. Plus there are many other benefits and conveniences that come along with your own theater.

Home Theaters

Movie Expenses and Costs

The days of going to a movie theater and catching a movie for a couple bucks are long gone. Drive-In theaters are pretty much done now so no more sneaking people in by stuffing them in your car trunk. With ticket prices at $12+ on average per ticket. Depending on how many people are with you, it can cost a fortune just to get inside the building.

Here is a breakdown of expenses and costs involved with going out to the movies for a 4 person family (Mom, Dad, and 2 Kids):

Round Trip Gas: $50
Dinner: $100
Tickets: $42-$48 (depends how old the kids are)
Soft Drinks: $28
Candy / Snacks: $32
——————————————————
Total: $255
——————————————————

The numbers above were calculated for a family of four people (wife, husband, and two kids). For larger families this number could go up drastically and could get up to well over $300 for one night out.

Now let’s take a look at the expenses for the basic family for an entire year.

Once per month: $255 x 12 = $3,060 per year
Twice per month: $510 x12 = $6,120 per year

RSI Custom Install Price: $4500 (basic starting price)
Basic Starter package includes everything you need to have a fully functional home theater system with crystal clear HD picture and great sounding audio.

Again, for larger families this number would be much higher. Some could even be spending over $8,000 per year. Maybe even more if they need to hire a babysitter for children that are too young to bring to the theaters.
