TV
The advantage of installing a smart TV system is the access you’ll gain to channels that provide TV content, movies, and music without a cable/satellite subscription. It will enable web browsing, gaming, and access to compatible files stored on your computer or mobile device, so they can be viewed on a large screen, which is more convenient and comfortable.
Canine GPS
This may not be the first thing that springs to mind when you’re moving into a new home. But think about it – if you’re in an unfamiliar neighborhood and your dog wandered away, would you rest until he or she was home again? Invest in a wi-fi-enabled dog collar, that will notify you if your pet has left the property, and use GPS to help you find the exact location so he or she can be picked up and brought back to safety. You can even have the collar take some photos of your pet’s odysseys and post them on social media! The collar will also track your pet’s daily activity levels so that you’ll know if you need to step out a little more often to keep them in the best shape!
