Gregg from Crescent Security here in Tucson, Arizona was our guest spear at the Feb 19th Leads Unlimited business club breakfast meeting on Tucson's east side.
Gregg talked about his company, it's history and some upcoming events in his industry. Then he explained some of the interesting things that can be done with home automation incorporated into modern home alarm systems. Like many of our speakers Gregg, offered some very interesting information I never knew about home alarms, home security and even what options we have for lighting controls in our home alarms. I'm looking forward to working with Gregg on my alarm to add some of the features he told us about
Each Tuesday morning Leads Unlimited, a business leads group, meets at Mimis cafe on Broadway and Wilmont in east Tucson, Arizona. We eat breakfast and listen to a guest speaker. Afterwards we exchange leads and talk business. Visitors are welcome to join us for breakfast as well. As a guest you can order from Mimis business breakfast menu and sit in our meeting. You can be a guest for three weeks, to decide if you want to become a member. Join us next Tuesday
Gregg started out his talk with some information on his company which has been in Tucson for many years now under the new name, and before this is was called Century Security. One of the small touches Gregg talked about are the yard signs. He pays a bit more to have his made out of metal, not plastic, so they stand up against our Tucson sun
The majority of Gregg's talk was about the cool and interesting ways low voltage home automation systems can be put to use.This nice looking remote is for your house, not a TV (although it might also work on a TV) but lights, alarm, music, drapes and even water falls can be controlled with the touch of a button from anywhere in the house.
Creative use of laser etching makes the controls easy for the whole family (and guests) to use, while being a big improvement over stickers
The units Crescent Security uses are not the typical radio store quality novelty low voltage systems. These units are designed to be used in both residential and commercial applications so they are built to last with lots of use.
There are many options available in remotes and wall switches. Gregg sent a few around the table for us to see. I have used the radio store home controls in the past and the superior quality of these devices is apparent right away
Gregg offered a give away. A fire blanket that mounts to the inside of a kitchen (or workshop) cabinet. A very useful safety device. We each passed him a biz card and there was a random drawing for the fire blanket, thanks Gregg (even though I didn't win it)
So join us next Tuesday, Just show up at Mimi's Cafe, 120 S. Wilmot, 7 AM Tuesdays. Breakfast is $5 for visitors. Or if you'd like to call first, talk Charles at 419 2500 for more information.
Each week we have a dynamic speaker on a new topic or an interesting member discussion. So far in over 20 years, none has resulted in a food fight, although we are hopeful for one in the future.
The meeting is held at Mimi's Cafe, 120 S. Wilmot, from 7 AM to 8 AM, Tuesdays. Fee for visitor's breakfast is $5. Please check "members" page to see if your category is taken before you attend, or call Charles at 419 2500 for more information.

In addition to security,
Gregg's company does home theater, central Vac, video surveillance, cabling, intercoms, etc...
Todays presentation is on lighting automation. The prices have dropped substantially and has
become more affordable. He can supply a central keypad that controls much of the homes lighting.
Much of the custom programming is done by Crescent.
He also covered the new transition to Digital Television. If you have rabbit ears, you need to
upgrade your TV or get a digital converter by February of next year.
