"Our Balgowlah Residence was the first time we have worked with KAYDER. They responded to the highly technical and involved brief of our tech-savvy client in a mature and knowledgeable manner.
Overlooking the harbour on Sydney’s North Shore, our Balgowlah Residence hugs a steeply sloping block, over 5 levels providing design and building challenges for the craftspeople and suppliers who worked on the project. The scale of the project required a sophisticated response to the automation of the home.
KAYDER coordinated the installation and integration of hardware from various suppliers and employed skills to integrate and conceal the systems within the architecture. This means that the system is world’s best practice across all areas and not reliant on one system that may have intrinsic weak spots.
Essentially, the house is a giant computer allowing control of security; lighting; curtains; sound systems and remote visual monitoring. The family can enter and exit the home effortlessly without compromising security and peace of mind. KAYDER’s ability to integrate disparate products has resulted in a state-of-the-art system that supports the family who will enjoy this home for many years to come.
We look forward to working with KAYDER on future projects that require top-tier automation systems."

As more homeowners in Sydney embrace the convenience of smart home technology, automated blinds and windows are quickly becoming a must-have feature. From energy efficiency to enhanced security and modern aesthetics, automated window treatments offer a wide range of benefits that make them an excellent addition to any home. If you're considering upgrading your home with the latest home automation solutions, here's why automated blinds and windows should be at the top of your list.

In an era defined by technological innovation and convenience, the concept of home automation has emerged as a game-changer for homeowners worldwide. From controlling lighting and temperature to managing security and entertainment systems, home automation offers a myriad of benefits that enhance comfort, efficiency, and security. In this blog post, we explore the five best reasons why investing in home automation is a smart decision for modern homeowners.

In the ever-evolving landscape of smart home technology, recognition for excellence is a testament to innovation and dedication. Last month, Kayder attended the Crestron Modern Work Summit at Crown, Sydney where we were proud to be presented with two prestigious awards. The triumph not only signifies their commitment to excellence but also highlights the transformative impact of our projects.

Best MDU Project of the Year: Lend Lease's One Sydney Harbour

The first feather in Kayder's cap comes from their outstanding performance in the Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) category. Their project at Lend Lease's One Sydney Harbour has been recognised as the epitome of innovation and sophistication in smart home integration. Nestled in the heart of Sydney, Australia, One Sydney Harbour stands as a beacon of luxury living, and Kayder's contribution has elevated its status to unparalleled heights.

Kayder's approach to the project was marked by meticulous planning and seamless execution. By leveraging Crestron's cutting-edge technology, they crafted an immersive smart home experience that seamlessly integrates with the modern lifestyle of residents. From intelligent lighting and climate control to advanced security systems and entertainment solutions, every aspect was meticulously tailored to enhance comfort, convenience, and luxury.

The recognition of One Sydney Harbour as the Best MDU Project of the Year is a testament to Kayder's prowess in understanding client needs and delivering bespoke solutions that exceed expectations. The award is a great reflection of the years of work many of Kayder’s staff have put into the planning and execution of this project.

Strengthen Your Business’s Security at the Door 

Is your business still using old-fashioned locks and keys to manage who can and can’t enter certain areas? Do you need to chase down terminated employees for their keys on their last day—or frequently replace locks when unable to locate those keys? 

Thanks to building access control systems, keys are a hassle that businesses no longer need to manage. Whether you operate a small commercial space or have hundreds of people walking through the doors each day, access control makes it easy to provide and revoke permissions instantly. 

Let’s answer commonly asked questions about building access control to help your Sydney business get started!

How a Modern Solution Improves Guest and Employee Satisfaction 

Every hotel depends on distributed audio for its day-to-day operations, whether it’s paging systems keeping the back-of-house running smoothly or background music by the pool setting a unique ambience for guests. Luxury hotels looking to gain the upper hand often contact AV integrators to install speakers in key areas like restaurants, bars, lobbies, pools, and high-traffic areas. Unfortunately, we’ve noticed as property needs expand, many end up with systems installed at different times that operate independently.

This causes a wide range of issues. If you’re starting a new project or looking to upgrade your existing audio system, we outline some of the reasons a fully integrated distributed audio system is the best option for your property in Sydney, Australia and why you should work with us to improve your audio experience!
