Binary Systems is a small, hands-on technology services business serving homes and small businesses across the Annapolis area. We handle the setup, configuration, and ongoing support that keeps your technology working — without the runaround of big-box stores or impersonal call centers.
Most of our work falls in this category. Whether you're setting up a new home office, modernizing a small business, or finally building out the network you've been meaning to get to, we handle it end to end.
Get in TouchOff-the-shelf desktops are fine for most people. But if you're a creator, gamer, developer, or someone who just wants a machine that fits exactly what you do, a custom build is almost always a better investment than the next pre-built tier.
Get in TouchAI is genuinely useful — but the gap between "I should probably try this" and "this saves me an hour a day" is wider than most articles admit. We help bridge it.
Get in TouchMost of the security advice on the internet is either useless or terrifying. We focus on practical protections that actually fit how your household uses technology. Designed for personal and household use — no formal audits or compliance work.
Get in TouchBefore you spend money on a NAS, a router, a laptop, a camera system, or anything in between, it can be worth a short conversation with someone who has no stake in what you buy.

We come to your home or office. No remote-only support, no offshore call centers.

A selection of recent projects from across the Annapolis area.
PROBLEM
A 4,000-square-foot home with persistent Wi-Fi dead zones and intermittent connectivity for a household that works from home.
APPROACH
Site survey to identify coverage gaps and interference sources. Replaced the consumer router with a properly sized mesh system, configured wired backhaul where feasible, and set up a dedicated guest network with IoT segmentation. Documented credentials, network map, and recovery procedures for the household.
OUTCOME
Full coverage across all floors, including the basement office and detached garage. Zero dropouts since deployment.
PROBLEM
A family wanted to consolidate their personal video and music libraries and reduce monthly subscription costs.
APPROACH
Specified and built a low-power home server appropriate for the household's library size. Installed and configured a self-hosted media platform with remote access and family user accounts. Set up automated backups for irreplaceable content and trained the household on day-to-day use and basic troubleshooting.
OUTCOME
$60+/month in canceled subscriptions, full library access on all household devices.
PROBLEM
A six-person professional services office with no documented network, mixed-up Wi-Fi credentials, and shared logins across the team.
APPROACH
Network audit and documentation. Migrated the office to a managed router with proper segmentation. Rolled out a password manager with unique credentials per employee, enabled multi-factor authentication on critical business accounts, and provided a one-page reference for office staff.
OUTCOME
A documented, secure baseline that the office can hand to any future IT helper without starting from zero.
