Custom Audio, Video and Home Integration Elements

The integrated home is the home of the future. Computer automation is already taking over much of the common functioning that people used to set by hand. You can set your sprinklers to go on and off automatically, program your thermostat to heat and cool your home to specific temperatures at specific times of the day in different seasons, turn your lights on and off based on light level, room occupancy or time and even automatically start your music or television programs in every room in the house. These are just a few of the capabilities you’ll get with custom audio, video and home integration, and these elements are what make automation happen.
Residential Custom Audio, Video and Home Integration
Residential automation can include any or all of the following home entertainment and home automation solutions: audio/video systems, home theater, multi-room audio control, multi-room video control, cable or satellite integration, lighting control, central air and heat, central vacuum systems, communication systems and even automated window treatments and shade control for your windows.
The integrated home features a combination of all the elements from many different subsystems so that you can control them all from one central program. The best home automation systems offer a single user interface to control your whole house audio/video system, lighting control for all rooms, thermostat and energy management, climate systems, home theater and any other automated household systems. Add keypads for home security and control, a universal remote and iPad or iPhone integration, and you’ll be able to control your home from anywhere with a single simple and elegant solution.
Where It Starts
The base of a custom audio, video and home integration system is a structured wiring plan that integrates your phone, cable television, home networking and satellite television into one coordinated system that can be controlled from one central location. From there, you can choose to add multi-room programmable audio that plays audio of choice in each room in the home, multi-room video so that each family member can choose to watch what they want on their screens, custom audio, video and home theater wiring and intercoms for communication and monitoring every area of your home.
Advanced home automation systems include control for your sprinkler and other outdoor systems, lighting control for your entire home, remote control for your security systems and even window and window shade control to automatically open and close window shades for environmental control.
Even if you don’t choose to have all of the home automation systems installed at once, specialists in custom audio, video and home automation can set up wiring/pre-wire your home so that the structure is in place when you’re ready to upgrade.
