"... Imagine being able to walk into any room in
your home and at the push of a button listen to Mozart, while
at the same time in another room your partner listens to Sting,
and your plasma monitors the CCTV, with sound from discrete
in-ceiling speakers. Meanwhile pictures from flat, unobtrusive
screens are being viewed elsewhere... "
Technology has changed dramatically from the straight forward
two speaker hi-fi systems that we are all familiar with, to
multi-channel home cinema systems, and beyond with whole house
automation. Elliot Hicks as Director of Installations, and his
team, can now ensure maximum utilisation of all of these exciting
new opportunities, and offer and apply this unrivalled service
to any level of build or refurbishment.
We have recently been undertaking many projects of this nature
with local architects, interior designers and electrical contractors
to provide clients with an experience like no other. Imagine
being able to walk into any room in your home and at the push
of a button listen to Mozart, while at the same time in another
room your partner listens to Sting, and your plasma monitors
the CCTV, with sound from discrete in-ceiling speakers. Meanwhile
pictures from flat, unobtrusive screens are being viewed elsewhere.
You may decide you want to run a bath whilst in the kitchen
at your favourite temperature, and heat the towel rail it all
sounds futuristic, but all of these scenarios are now possible!
This is only the start of what is possible, home automation
provides the ability to integrate all of your household systems,
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning), audio, lighting,
security, telephones ... the list is almost endless. Also important
to many of our clients are the security benefits, for example,
if the alarm should sound at night all household lights would
turn on, screen turn on to the CCTV channel and cameras monitor
the point at which the alarm was triggered allowing an immediate
diagnosis of the situation. Any of these systems can now be
controlled by in-wall or wireless touchscreens, they can be
used to surf the Internet or even watch people arrive at your
front gates before talking to them and letting them in. The
possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
As you would expect this level of equipment requires a great
deal of knowledge to design, program, install and maintain,
and this is where we come in. Our knowledge has not been gained
from the computer industry or electrical contracting, but from
hi-fi, arguably the main source of relaxation, it is from here
that we can design a system to match any clients needs or requirements,
but always with the same goal in mind, quality and attention
to detail. Similar to having a tailor produce a suit, we have
been dealing directly with clients needs from day one, discussing,
suggesting and demonstrating what we feel will benefit them
specifically, customising a system that is truly bespoke - not
off the peg!
Now is a perfect time to make you aware of the opportunities
that are available to both present and future projects, and
we can provide you with a level of service and knowledge that
many professionals in the field do not yet have.
Please feel free to contact us if you wish to discuss further
the opportunities available, or specific projects you may be
working on, we are always happy to help.
To give a more detailed idea of the capabilities I have listed
below some of the facilities we have implemented for our clients:
- High quality picture and sound in any room of the house,
including outside patio areas, swimming pools etc.
- Complete control of any level of system from either in wall
or wireless video touchpanels.
- All components hidden out of sight and speakers located
in ceilings or walls.
- Full sound serving capabilities, providing searching by
artist, title or genre, with instant access.
- Multiple sources in multiple rooms, i.e. up to 16 people
listening to different tracks from a single server in different
rooms.
- Video distribution to any display device providing unlimited
sources, i.e. terrestrial, Sky, DVD, VCR, CCTV.
- Scene orientated lighting providing a vast range of options
for different moods of the room/house.
- Whole house lighting, allowing any light switch to activate
any light, i.e. bedroom turning on/off every light in the
house.
- Intelligent heating, air conditioning management with SMS
(Text Message from mobile phone) control ability. eg. whilst
away on holiday access and adjust your heating/cooling before
you arrive home.
- Integration of all of these systems and more with control
from in-wall or wireless keypads.
- Full E-Control of the system / house from any location with
Internet access.
- Multi-channel Cinema designs, built to any level of quality
and seating. A recent project saw a 20-seater cinema in the
basement with 8ft picture of unbelievable quality!
- Correct room design and display calibration - not just placement
of equipment in the room - the difference is vast.
The complete package:
We can design and install a system that covers all of the in-house
systems that you will already be installing and others that
you probably should!
- Lighting
- Telephones
- Security
- Aerial and Satellite systems
- Internet / Web based products
- Data - including LAN systems, both wired and wireless.
- Audio Distribution
- Video Distribution
As well as the above we can also integrate with most modern
HVAC systems (heating and ventilation).
