Bring It All Together With a Home Intranet Website

Convenience of Wireless Networking -- With a wireless or hybrid wired and wireless home network, you can use your laptop on the balcony, in the yard, at the kitchen table, or even in bed -- without wires and with great performance. As the price of wireless networking components become more affordable, this is one of the most exciting home networking capabilities. In most apartments and homes, a laptop or other device (like security cams) can maintain a high-speed connection up-to 200 feet or more from the fixed wireless access point. We support both 802.11a and 802.11b wireless products.

Digital Video/TV Recording and Playback -- With lower prices for TV tuner and advanced video cards, your computer can easily be turned into a virtual VCR, allowing TV and video viewing and recording to your hard drive. With the built-in capabilities of your home network, you can record family videos or TV programs on one computer and play them back on any other networked computer. MPEG or Windows Media formatted digital video files can be easily and reliably viewed over a wired or wireless network. You can also digitize your family videos or record directly from a digital video camera for instant playback across your network.

Multimedia File Sharing -- Do you have a large MP3 or digital video collection? Would you like to make this available to everyone in the family? A home network makes music and video playback on any computer simple and easy. A home network can also allow you to take advantage of unused disk capacity on networked computers: if you are running out of space on one computer, copy files to another.

Integrate your Stereo ---This new network application allows you to play your MP3 music files on your home stereo over an Ethernet connection. If you have a high-end home stereo system and a good collection of MP3 music files, this application is for you. We can also provide advice on buying MP3 digital stereo components.

LAN/Internet Multiplayer Games/PS2 Networking -- Home networks allow multiplayer games across the home network or across the Internet. We can assist in game setup and firewall configuration to make multiplayer games a snap.

Security Cameras -- Add a wired or 802.11b wireless network camera and view entranceways, kids playrooms or the back yard from any computer - or even remotely from a another location. All network cameras can be viewed from within your Web browser, including multiple simultaneous views. This is an exciting new capability that can enhance your security and peace of mind.

Family Calendar -- Need to keep all family members in synch for important appointments and events? A family calendar can be hosted on your home network and accessible from your web browser for easy viewing and modification. The calendar can also be accessed from the Internet for viewing by a spouse at work or a friend or relative.

Video Conferencing -- Inexpensive PC cameras and a broadband connection allow video conferencing with friends and colleagues, whether across town or across the country. We can assist you in setting up programs like Microsoft Netmeeting and in making sure this application works behind your firewall.

Family Email/Instant Messaging -- Tired of being tied to one computer to receive your personal email? Need to send a quick message to your child at school? Or need to remind your spouse or significant other of an evening date? Manhattan Home Networks can install a small, affordable, but high functionality mail server on your network, allowing you to receive and send mail from anywhere on your home LAN or worldwide Internet. It includes calendar, address book and instant messaging functions. Since the mail server software is yours, there are no ongoing service fees paid to the service provider or to Manhattan Home Networks. You can also setup a permanent domain name (like "myfamily.net") and email addresses for all family members (joey@myfamily.net) which move when you move and which never need to change, regardless of the Internet Service Provider you use. This solution can also incorporate the Family Calendar to keep everyone in-synch.

Home FTP site -- On the road but forgot important files at home? Want to allow friends to download music, photos or other files? With a home network, you can setup a FTP server and allow access to your files from anywhere on the Internet.

Bring It All Together with a Home Intranet Website -- Using the capabilities of Windows 2000 or Windows XP, Manhattan Home Networks can install a small website on your LAN that allows easy and quick access from any computer to all your multimedia files, security cameras, email, instant messaging programs, calendar and other applications.
