Ability to grow and expand your setup over time
How often have you had to throw out something from your setup - because it's now obsolete? Do you wish that you could just change a few components to get it up-to-date?

Better yet, have you wished you could actually GROW your systems and add new functions? That's why VidaBox solutions are engineered from the ground up, providing you with a unique solution that allows you to start your dream entertainment & control setup - one piece at a time.

For example, one can start out with a media server with a single extender, then add multiple extenders as needed. Later on, you can add a multiroom audio server for whole house audio, and then add in vAutomation for control of lights, security, climate, and other "Smart" systems - and be able to gain new features on your first server and extender by adding in the equipment!

Picking the right brands and components is key - interested in learning how you can grow your setup with VidaBox? Contact us today and we'll help you get started!

VidaSafe™ Protection Technologies

VidaSafe™ Protection is a suite of technologies that prevents server downtime due to hard drive failures. These features are modeled after the same technologies in use and standardized in servers and systems running 24/7 at various enterprises and Fortune500 companies. Some of the components that allow this to be possible are:

- True RAID5/6 on select VidaBox servers
Using actual, dedicated RAID controllers, VidaBox prevents customer's data from being lost in the event of a hard drive failure. Unlike software-based or "fake" RAID, dedicated controllers provide a much higher level of data protection to make sure your priceless photos, videos, and memories are NOT lost.

- Enterprise-level hard drives
Unlike consumer level hard drives that are designed for cost, VidaBox uses only enterprise-level hard drives in RAID-protected server builds, providing a much higher record of uptime and reliability.

- 24/7 storage array auto-monitoring
In the event of a hard drive failure, an email is automatically sent to VidaBox alerting the error condition, allowing immediate action to take place. As mentioned, even with a drive failure, your systems stays up and running, and is available for continual use until it can be serviced. Nothing needs to be done by the customer - it's all automatic!


Remote login support

Have your VidaBox installed and have a question? Get answers and immediate support fast with VidaBox's remote login support, which comes standard with all of our media centers.

Remote login allows our dealers to see the video on your TV or projector from their office, allowing them to quickly assist with your questions and show you - in live time - what the answers are. Instead of trying to follow through instructions over the phone or email, it's as if your installer is right next to you, walking with you - every step of the way.
