Published by Leave your thoughts

Category Client A Local Franchise Owner Location Broadview Heights, OH Project Summary To secure and outfit a new commercial event venue. The space will primarily used for pickleball and private events — with streamlined tech that supports independent access and flexible use. 3 synced 100" TVs along the court wall + 1 display above the fireplace Access control with key fobs and remote scheduling Interior and exterior surveillance camera system When a local franchise owner began building out a commercial venue in Broadview Heights, he knew he wanted more than a blank rental space. The goal: a polished, flexible environment that could host everything from private events to pickleball matches — and stay secure, functional, and easy to manage with minimal effort.Sundance came in early, well before drywall, to plan out infrastructure for access control, surveillance, and AV. That early involvement paid off. Because the team understood the owner's goals and layout from the start, they were able to design and install a system that blended into the architecture — not something cobbled together after the fact. This venue’s access control system runs on Alarm.com, offering remote access, scheduling, and real-time monitoring for full control from anywhere. Smart Security & Access Control The space includes a large pickleball court and adjacent lounge, all covered by interior and exterior surveillance cameras for security.Key features include:Key Card & Key Fob AccessRemote ManagementReal-Time Monitoring Key card and key fob access Owners can grant entry to approved renters or private members without being on-site. Remote management Full control of access, scheduling, and trace logs from anywhere. Real-time monitoring Visibility over who’s coming and going, keeping the venue secure 24/7. AV That Fits the Venue For AV, the space features four mounted commercial TVs — one above the fireplace in the lounge, and three evenly spaced along the pickleball court. Displays can be synced or run independently, supporting events, live sports, or customized digital signage. Collaboration from Start to Finish Sundance stayed in close contact with the client and general contractor team as the build progressed, adjusting timelines and system needs as other trade professionals moved through the build. From early layout to final walkthrough, Sundance played a central role in helping this venue take shape. The end result is a clean, modern space that works just as hard behind the scenes as it does in front. Ready to take your space to the next level? Call in the tech experts...

Worry less. Enjoy more. Do you worry about your home's security?  Did I lock the door? Close the garage door? Turn off the lights?  We all experience these thoughts at one time or another. We get out of bed to check that things are secure, or we turn around and drive back home to make sure the garage door is closed.   What if double-checking your home’s doors and windows was as simple as checking your phone? Make those nagging feelings a thing of the past. Choose a newly installed home security system from alarm.com installed by the experts at Sundance. Smart home technology is the future of home security systems. What do you need to protect your home?  Security camerasAutomated locks Smart lightingMonitored home security Outdoor security is your home's first line of defense. Smart security cameras provide excellent coverage. See who is coming and going. Monitor less visible parts of your property with activity notifications, alerts, and live and recorded footage. Cameras deter intruders simply because they are a visible aspect of your home’s security.  In addition, doorbell cameras are essential. Speak to visitors, check on package deliveries, and unlock your door remotely to allow a guest or family member access.  To further ensure your home’s safety, install a security system with automated locks. Remotely lock and arm your home from anywhere with your smartphone.  Smart lighting is another great way to add to your home security. Smart lighting inside your home and automated outdoor lighting gives potential intruders the impression that you are home even when you aren’t. Turn lights on and off from anywhere, and illuminate less visible areas outside your home. Lastly, for the ultimate home security experience, rest assured that you and your family are protected 24/7 with a professionally monitored home security system. Instantly alert emergency services to fire, intruders, or any other emergency situations. Back to News Don't be afraid of things that go bump in the night.
