Home technology services

At Modus we would like to bring the expertise we have gained helping business, local authorities and NHS trusts to help you make your home network work.

There are almost as many products available for home use as there are ways to use them as there are  homes and at Modus we cannot and would not claim to be expert in all these systems but we have a proven track record of understanding what you have, what you want and how you want them to work so we can give you a solution that works.

PCs and servers

As the number of computers you have increases, the number of devices that connect to them increases, the number of files you need to store increases and the need to have those files available increases it is important that hardware and software are intelligently specified and configured to provide room for the growth and reliability you need.

We can help you with:

  • Specifying servers and other storage devices

  • Most appropriate operating systems and software

  • How to share printers and other hardware

  • How to store large numbers of audio, video and image files

  • Virus, spyware and malware protection

  • Backup options

Networks and connectivity

The demands placed on the home network are very different to those of the office. For example, those installing an office network seldom have to consider how the recommended solution will look whereas few people would be happy with a power pole in their kitchen.  

Modus Home Technologies can help you with:

  • Choosing the ISP which best suits your needs

  • Network specification, design and implementation

  • Working from home

  • Email/Internet access via mobiles and PDAs

  • Controlling and monitoring access to the internet

  • Voice over IP services to give you low cost long distance phone calls

  • Video calls

Audio and Video

Increasing numbers of us have amassed large collections of digital images, music, movies and TV shows. The ability to do more with it, to share it around and show it off, has an obvious appeal. However, some people are falling foul of  digital rights management technology that limits their ability to share digital media around or simpler incompatibilities in file types that stop them being used on another system.

Modus has the experience and knowledge to help you with:

  • Storing, streaming and playing audio files

  • Audio file players

  • Choosing/installing a personal video recorder

  • Bluray/HD DVD equipment

  • Getting the most from satellite and cable services

  • Watching TV in a room with no aerial connection
