Generated for our Builders and Remodelers.  Providing the steps to bring us together on your project. We can be reached at: (203) 234-1303. Set an appointment to meet and discuss specific needs. We are uniquely qualified to give the very best in leading-edge electronics systems. Our backgrounds in varied Engineering companies prior to forming and developing Custom Audio-Video Systems assures all the pieces are in place to provide design and service unequaled by others.

 

 

The NEW BUILD is the most favored construction type when adding systems and sub-systems controlled by technology. More product can be researched and installed, for everything is accessible which allows the exact placement of controls and the materials they serve. Through our consultation meeting, time is taken on a room by room discussion of the project. The right questions are asked and the options are made available. We take a room by room approach to assure each area is included and designed independent of all others and then sum all designs to reduce redundancy and streamline our final design.

 The REMODEL........   A bit harder to design in the features during a remodel but not impossible.  It is never early enough to begin a process with an A/V professional during the planning stage of any type of construction or Remodel process when attempting to integrate electronic systems into your renovation. If followed, the previous statement allows all parties the chance to be involved, and allows iterations in design, and assures the attention to detail and a win - win for all.

A Little Bit About..... SMART HOMES

The Smart Home can mean many things to many people. Not all the options are always instituted in all designs because of the personal lifestyle nature to the product.  For an example, depending on the size of the home, Lighting Control might be needed and requested to be added on a limited scale. (Ex. Turn on the rear yard light switch, located in the Garage while the occupant is in the Master Bedroom) This would be a selective control request. In a larger home, the Lighting Control might be programmed to set ALL the lighting throughout the home to host a party with one finger touch and have the convenience to partition the programming just to set certain areas for late at night. The request for Lighting Control, simply becomes (1) a needed feature of the home and (2) a convenience. It would be just one part of the Smart Home System.

Once the Smart Home main hub (control interface) is worked into our design, other additions or portions related to what works for you, the homeowners, can be implemented.  Smart Homes are built on the Local network (LAN) within, and brought into focus within the design. Regardless of the options requested to be added, now or later within the Smart Home, Business or Yacht, once the Hub is in place more products can be added without Drilling or Wiring. Some of the products that might be designed in are:  Water consumption (Sprinkler systems), Electric Use monitoring, Security (Camera) Systems, Entertainment Systems, Multiple Zone Audio and Video delivery and other products used throughout. Remember it is designed to provide Features and Conveniences, and all are personal tastes and lifestyle issues.
