What is Custom Install? Custom installing means that the equipment is physically integrated with your home. Whether that is simply a plasma screen and speakers fitted to a wall with hidden cabling, or whether it’s multiple components around the whole house for a completely integrated home entertainment, lighting and automation system, it’s still a system just for you. We can advise you on what is possible and help you create your vision. We can also turn that vision into reality. Imagine the possibilities! Browse through your movie collection from your favorite chair. Relax in the bath listening to your favorite playlist. With the simple touch of one button before climbing into bed you activate your alarm system, switch off all indoor lights and TVs. Our solutions can achieve the seamless integration of video, music and home automation systems. We specialize in using the most innovative technology to make installation quick and cost effective. For example, our multi room sound solutions do not need heavy speaker cables run from room to room. Similarly, our lighting control solutions are a simple replacement of the switch with a controllable module. There is no rewiring and no expensive central control unit. Let us talk to you about your options, and what we could do for you. In some situations, physical wiring is the best solution. Whilst this is easiest done along with other renovations, much can be achieved with minimum disruption to your life and décor! All of our solutions use flexible industry standard components, such as CAT6 cable, which can form the basis of your whole house integration. Non-cabled areas can be wirelessly bridged, cables hidden under skirting, through the garage, in the loft, under floorboards, and ribbon cables laid under carpets and even wooden and ceramic floors. The key to seamless integration is control. With a typical home having a satellite, amplifier, streaming service and a display (TV or projector), you quickly lose count of the remote controls! And that’s just in one room… The answer is to use your Cellphone as remote control. This is much more than a single controller for all the devices. For example, it enables us to program the screen to lower, the projector turns on, the amplifier to turn onto the right source, the curtains to close, the lights to dim, and the streaming service to start, all with the press of just one button. The Process starts with a consultation and a site survey. It’s essential to know what your requirements are and what can be achieved and how much ‘installation’ will be required to achieve it. We will discuss the options and what it will mean for you, both in terms of end results and the installation work. From this discussion, we can draw up a full system specification to whatever level of detail is appropriate. This is vital to ensure that you have clear picture of what to expect during the installation and what the final outcome will be. The next step involves the bulk of the work, laying necessary cables, and installing and configuring any wireless components. Additional services like satellite TV or broadband internet are installed at this stage. In-wall and in-ceiling speakers’ mounting brackets are installed, and cables run. Once this is complete, the selected equipment is installed, along with making good any disturbed décor, after testing. The final step is the programming and configuration of the system, which is the most technically complex part.
