Built on Trust & Experience Since 1979

It’s easy to install a gadget. It’s harder to design a system that feels natural and reliable every single day. That difference is what’s kept our company thriving for more than four decades.

Integrated Media Systems started long before “smart homes” were common words. We were one of the first companies in the world to offer early automation services, long before Wi-Fi or smartphones existed. Over the years, our work has evolved with the times, from early entertainment systems and lighting controls to today’s integrated home automation and cloud-connected security.

What hasn’t changed is how we do business. Every project still begins with listening, planning, and finding the best fit for your home or building. We’re fully insured, locally based, and known for clear communication, professional work, and long-term relationships with our clients. Many of the homes we wired decades ago are still clients today — just with smarter technology.

What We Offer

Here’s how Integrated Media Systems helps homes and businesses in Bethesda make technology simple, seamless, and secure.

Smart Home & Electrical Integration

We bring every part of your home together through smart, dependable systems that are designed to make life easier. Our automation setups let you manage lighting, shades, temperature, and entertainment through intuitive controls that feel second nature. Reliable Wi-Fi and wired networks keep everything connected without lag or frustration, while our licensed electricians handle the foundation that keeps it all safe. They install switches, outlets, appliance circuits, and ceilingfans with care and precision. We also design indoor and outdoor lighting that enhances your home’s look and comfort, adding energy efficiency and ambiance in equal measure.

Safety & Security Systems

Security isn’t just about cameras on walls. It’s about building confidence in every entry, every alert, every quiet night at home. Our intrusion detection systems watch over doors, windows, and perimeters, while smart access control replaces keys with secure key fobs or mobile credentials. Video surveillance provides crisp, high-resolution views you can check from anywhere, and electronic gates with magnetic locks offer strong, controlled entry that feels effortless to use. Fire and life safety alarms integrate into your broader system so protection is never an afterthought. For complete visibility, cloud-based management keeps you connected to your home or business wherever you are.

Entertainment & Comfort

Technology should feel invisible when you’re relaxing. We design home theaters and media rooms that sound as good as they look, with balanced acoustics and lighting tailored to the space. Multi-room audio and video systems let your music or movies follow you throughout the house without interruption.

Smart Technology Designed Around You

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all systems. Every home and office has its own rhythm, and technology should move with it. Some homeowners want lighting and shades that shift quietly throughout the day. Others need dependable, low-maintenance security for larger properties or offices. Whatever the goal, our focus is always the same: creating systems that simplify life without getting in the way.

Our process is collaborative from the start. We design around how you actually live and work, not just what the latest device can do. From planning to installation, you’ll have one dedicated team ensuring every element connects and performs as it should.

When we plan a system, we look at:

• Lifestyle and layout. How you move through your home or workspace and where automation adds real value.
• Control preferences. The right balance of manual and automated features so you always feel in control.
• Network strength. Reliable Wi-Fi and wiring that support every device without lag or dropouts.
• Security priorities. The mix of visibility, access, and privacy that makes you feel protected.
• Future growth. Flexibility to add new features or upgrades as technology evolves.
• Energy efficiency. Systems that save power while keeping your space comfortable.

Each design choice serves a purpose. We consider lighting angles, signal strength, privacy, and usability so your technology feels natural, not complicated. The same care applies to security design, from intrusion systems and access control to electronic gates, mag locks, and cloud-based monitoring. The result is a space that feels safe, connected, and effortless to manage.

When we say that we’ve been taming technology since 1979, this is what we mean. Every system is built with intention, precision, and a focus on your comfort and peace of mind.

We Build Systems Around the Needs of Bethesda Homes & Businesses

In Bethesda, neighborhoods are filled with classic brick homes and mid-century architecture right next to modern townhomes, luxury condos, and new construction projects. Our team understands how to bring technology into those settings without disrupting what makes them special.

Many homes here were built decades ago, long before modern automation and networking became part of daily life. Homeowners here often want to preserve original craftsmanship while upgrading to smart lighting, shading, and security systems that match the standards of newer builds. We make that transition seamless by reinforcing the electrical infrastructure and integrating smart systems that blend naturally with existing design.

For newer properties, our work often begins before the first wall goes up. We collaborate with builders, architects, and designers to plan everything, so technology feels intentional, not added later. Our experience in high-end homes and luxury renovations ensures every system performs beautifully while maintaining clean lines and visual simplicity.

Bethesda’s business community is equally diverse. Many offices and boutique shops in the downtown area rely on dependable security and connectivity. We design access control, surveillance, and automation systems that fit naturally into commercial settings and can scale as needs grow. 

Whether it’s a historic home near Greenwich Forest or a contemporary office off Wisconsin Avenue, every project receives the same care: discreet installation and thoughtful integration that keeps systems stable for years.
