4 Must-Have Summer Technology Upgrades for Your Backyard
Bringing Entertainment and Comfort to New Orleans Backyards This Season
Acadian culture embodies a joie de vivre that centers on people coming together to create unforgettable memories. In the warmer months, we head outdoors for pool days or tailgates by the grill. However, it’s easy for those get-togethers to get derailed without the right technology infrastructure in place. Outdoor living requires the right infrastructure, from outdoor audio-video integrations to enhanced security measures.
Campo Better Living brings years of experience in designing outdoor spaces that friends, family, and neighbors gravitate toward. Though every client has different preferences, our installations usually include the four features outlined below.

Weatherproof Entertainment Built to Defy the Elements
New Orleans’ bright, humid summers aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re equally rough on your equipment. We integrate outdoor televisions engineered with ultra-bright anti-glare screens and internal climate control. Indoor TVs lack the brightness to compete with direct sunlight and will quickly short-circuit due to Louisiana’s extreme humidity. With outdoor-rated displays, you get crystal-clear viewing even in midday sunlight.
These are paired with marine-grade satellite speakers and underground subwoofers. Strategically placed around your perimeter and main entertainment areas, they deliver uniform sound without disrupting the neighbors. Enjoy game-day watch parties by the pool or movie nights on the patio without dealing with subpar performance.
Reliable Outdoor Connectivity Extends Past the Backyard Patio
Outdoor spaces need to have strong connectivity to deliver a great experience. You need that connection to stream music and sports and to get reliable responses from your control systems. We integrate enterprise-grade outdoor wireless access points (WAPs) with weatherproof, UV-resistant enclosures. These help you avoid frustrating dead zones caused by brick and concrete exterior walls that shield internal Wi-Fi signals. With this fortified network, you can stream 4K video on your outdoor TV, listen to lossless audio, or take your work outside for the day.
Battle Those Hot Southern Days With Patio Shades
Don’t let your outdoor spaces go to waste when the thermostat hits 90 degrees or an afternoon thunderstorm passes through. We install heavy-duty, weather-resistant shades that instantly drop at the command of your smart home app or preset schedules. These shades automatically lower patio temperatures and block harsh UV rays. They have the added benefit of blocking out the insects that swarm New Orleans during the humid summer months.
Reinforce Your Outdoors With Proactive Security
As you spruce up your outdoor spaces with high-value assets (AV gear, premium grills, vintage furniture), they may become prime targets for thieves. We install weatherproof AI-driven cameras that instantly detect suspicious activity and alert you. Path lighting automatically lights at dusk to prevent trips and slips and eliminate dangerous corners. Motion sensors activate bright lighting when triggered to scare off intruders. You feel safer both indoors and out with these added security measures.
We help you make your patio, pool, and backyard a natural extension of your home’s living space. Contact our local team of technology professionals to start planning your next backyard project. We’d love to help you get the most out of your summer break!
