Network Applications
A variety of great applications are available with a
home
network.
Many only require configuration changes
on your
existing network; others
require additional software
or hardware.
All take advantage of the networking
capabilities
of your home LAN.
Be sure to checkout our Home Intranet
Website. The Home
Website resides on your home LAN and provides
one central
location to access multimedia files, mail, calendars and
more
from any networked computer. It brings together many of the
capabilities
described below in one convenient location.
Please call us at 1-800-611-8830 to learn more about
these
and other capabilities.

Convenience of Wireless
Networking -- With a wireless or hybrid wired and wireless home
network, you can use your laptop on the balcony, in the yard, at the
kitchen table, or even in bed -- without wires and with great performance.
As the price of wireless networking components become more affordable,
this is one of the most exciting home networking capabilities. In most
apartments and homes, a laptop or other device (like security cams)
can maintain a high-speed connection up-to 200 feet or more from the
fixed wireless access point. We support both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless
products.

Digital Video/TV Recording
and Playback -- With lower prices for TV tuner and advanced video
cards, your computer can easily be turned into a virtual VCR, allowing
TV and video viewing and recording to your hard drive. With the built-in
capabilities of your home network, you can record family videos or TV
programs on one computer and play them back on any other networked computer.
MPEG or Windows Media formatted digital video files can be easily and
reliably viewed over a wired or wireless network. You can also digitize
your family videos or record directly from a digital video camera for
instant playback across your network.

Multimedia File Sharing -- Do you have a large MP3 or digital video collection? Would you like
to make this available to everyone in the family? A home network makes
music and video playback on any computer simple and easy. A home network
can also allow you to take advantage of unused disk capacity on networked
computers: if you are running out of space on one computer, copy files
to another.

Integrate your Stereo ---This
new network application allows you to play your MP3 music files on your
home stereo over an Ethernet connection. If you have a high-end home
stereo system and a good collection of MP3 music files, this application
is for you. We can also provide advice on buying MP3 digital stereo
components.

LAN/Internet Multiplayer Games/PS2
Networking -- Home networks allow multiplayer games across the home
network or across the Internet. We can assist in game setup and firewall
configuration to make multiplayer games a snap.

Security Cameras -- Add
a wired or 802.11b wireless network camera and view entranceways, kids
playrooms or the back yard from any computer - or even remotely from
a another location. All network cameras can be viewed from within your
Web browser, including multiple simultaneous views. This is an exciting
new capability that can enhance your security and peace of mind.

Family Calendar --
Need to keep all family members in synch for important appointments
and events? A family calendar can be hosted on your home network and
accessible from your web browser for easy viewing and modification.
The calendar can also be accessed from the Internet for viewing by a
spouse at work or a friend or relative. For an example of a Calendar served from a home network, browse to Fiddle5.com and click on the calendar button. That is served from a PC on a home network

Video Conferencing -- Inexpensive PC cameras and a broadband connection allow video conferencing
with friends and colleagues, whether across town or across the country.
We can assist you in setting up programs like Microsoft Netmeeting and
in making sure this application works behind your firewall.

Family Email/Instant Messaging -- Tired of being tied to one computer to receive your personal
email? Need to send a quick message to your child at school? Or need
to remind your spouse or significant other of an evening date? ProInstall can install a small, affordable, but high functionality
mail server on your network, allowing you to receive and send mail from
anywhere on your home LAN or worldwide Internet. It includes calendar,
address book and instant messaging functions. Since the mail server
software is yours, there are no ongoing service fees paid to the service
provider or to ProInstall . You can also setup a permanent
domain name (like "myfamily.net") and email addresses for all family
members (joey@myfamily.net) which move when you move and which never
need to change, regardless of the Internet Service Provider you use.
This solution can also incorporate the Family Calendar to keep everyone
in-synch.

Home FTP site -- On the
road but forgot important files at home? Want to allow friends to download
music, photos or other files? With a home network, you can setup a FTP
server and allow access to your files from anywhere on the Internet.

Bring It All Together with
a Home Intranet Website -- Using the capabilities of Windows 2000
or Windows XP, ProInstall can install a small website on
your LAN that allows easy and quick access from any computer to all
your multimedia files, security cameras, email, instant messaging programs,
calendar and other applications. Call for a demonstration.
