Why structured wiring systems make sense for a new or existing home
Structured wiring systems gather your telephone, hardwired data network, and video distribution to one central location, often in the form of a recessed panel much like your electrical panel. By giving each room its own “home-run” of any combination of voice/video/data, maximum flexibility is allowed. Telephone could be distributed to all rooms, with VOIP coming from the office only to the kitchen, or vice versa, or any combination in between. Satellite TV signals could be sent from the living room to the master bedroom, spare bedroom and more. A hardwired data network can be deployed for the new generation of streaming video devices, with maximum security, throughput, and reliability. All with wiring in the walls instead of the outside of your house.
The beauty of “distributed video” systems
This installation is one of many TVs in a home, each of which is able to view the same content as the others, independently of the others. Using this configuration, one could play a movie in the living room, and resume it in the bedroom right before bedtime! Or check in on what is being watched in another room, even watch recorded content from the kitchen in the Living room, or the garage, all in HD. Perhaps you want surveillance to be viewed on each display as well. Another benefit is that the TV is the only interface in the room. No ugly black boxes below, no external wiring, and no need to point remotes at certain devices. Call us today for more info on a distributed video system and how they work.
Use the space above your fireplace for a Home Theater system!
The space above your fireplace is often a great place for a display, and of course nothing better accompanies an HDTV than HD audio. Even if no wire is place, there is almost always a way to retrofit wire without showing any exposed wiring, adding beauty and value to your home or place of work. This installation uses a highly regarded Panasonic Plasma (ask us about plasma vs LCD) and an Onkyo HTiB audio package. The Onkyo systems surpass the competition by using a true separates approach, letting you replace or upgrade one piece at a time, rather than the whole system at once.
