Feedback From Las Vegas

Last week Jason and Bob were at the ISC WEST Show at the Sands in Las Vegas.  This is the first time Metra Home Theater Group has exhibited at this show and we featured our Spyclops line.  I hear the show went well and the booth looked fantastic.  When the staff returns, I like to ask a few standard questions to get a feel for a show and how it went, how to improve, etc. I email them the questions and they answer them within the first few days of being back in the office.   I work with some funny people and sometimes these answers make me laugh.  This was one of those times.  I decided to make it my ISE Show Wrap up post because it shows why we are such a tight group here at Metra Home Theater Group.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
  1. What did you learn at the show?  Las Vegas is just as hard on us Floridians in April as it is in January when we are there for CES.  When breaking down the booth we need to make sure our crates get there on time.  It’s difficult to work hard when your body is craving humidity.
  2. What did you think about booth location?  I think by the time people got back to us, they had seen it all and they gave us a glance and turned around.  Still got some good leads in between nose bleeds.  Also, we need to make sure we do a nose check during the show.  Nose bleeds can happen at any time and scare people off no matter where we are located next year.
  3. How many exhibitors were there?  Over 10000 and they all had big TVs in their booths.  We need big TVs next year to help draw in the crowds. 
  4. What can we do to improve at the show next year?  Didn't you just ask that?  Well, big TVs are the way to go next year.  They catch the eye and will bring in traffic. Packing a humidifier in the crates so we are prepared for environment will also save us from multiple trips to the store after the show.
  5. What was one positive from the show?  Break down goes really fast when you are ready to get home and breath the fresh Florida air full of humidity.

Metra Home Theater Group will showcase the Spyclops Surveillance Systems line, April 15 to 17, 2015 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, NV.


Jason Lundell and Bob Pancari will be attending the ISC West Show in Las Vegas, NV this week.  This is the first time Metra Home Theater Group has attended this show and we are excited.   We have been in Vegas for other shows but they have been held in the HUGE convention center.  ISC West is held in the Sands.  We feel that the more intimate booth conditions will give future customers a more one-on-one experience. These conditions are where customers learn about our best feature - our award-winning staff which is why we are #MoreThanProducts.

But the show is about products and Spyclops product line will be featured at this show.  The line includes camera accessories, as well as DVRs and DVR kits designed to work with compatible power distribution systems.  There is, of course, a remote surveillance service with 24/7 access via Web browser or smart phone.  Specifically, the Spyclops line includes bullet indoor/outdoor security cameras; domestic dome style cameras; 16-, 8- and 4-channel DVRs; 5-, 9- and 18-way power distribution boxes and various security cable.  Metra’s three new DVRs feature full 960H recording capability on all channels. In addition to higher recording resolution, the new DVRs offer four sensor inputs with one alarm output, as well as upgraded hard drives that are designed for 24/7 use.

Metra Home Theater Group cannot talk about our Spyclops line without mentioning our tech support.  We have designated employee that answers our tech line to help with all of your Spyclops tech support issues.  Deanna Mann is here for something as simple and unplugging the RJ45 Ethernet Cable from the back of a DVR to adjusting the masking area to no blue boxes, she can help.  Deanna is an example of how dedicated to excellent customer service we are here at Metra Home Theater Group and why we are #MoreThanProducts.

If you are attending ISC West next week – stop by booth #29109 to see for yourself how we are there for our customers.
