PRE-WIRE TIP #10 – FUTURE-PROOFING - The Internet is evolving toward replacing cable in the delivery of entertainment. Wireless transmission works for short distances but to ensure enough bandwidth for future needs pre-wire a web of data cables from a central location, specifically to entertainment centres. Networks of Cat 5E, Cat 6 cables or fibre optics provide the capacity for future needs.

PRE-WIRE TIP #9 - AMBIENT ASSISTED LIVING - Emphasis on independent living as we age has led to AAL systems. Security-type sensors provide personal monitoring for an elderly person living alone and strategically placed data jacks provide Internet access to devices that communicate specific medical information to caregivers. Pre-wire for these considerations to ensure a home you can grow old in.

PRE- WIRE TIP #8 - CCTV – Outside cameras provide a view from any TV screen or computer. Interior cameras let you check the baby or see the house on your laptop when you’re away. Link cameras to your security system. Analog cameras cost less but require more hardware. Digital cameras provide better resolution and flexibility. Specific cabling is required by each so decide before you build.

PRE-WIRE TIP #7 - WINDOW TREATMENTS - Blinds or draperies powered by quiet motors can be tied into a lighting system, respond to light sensors, timers or a remote. In addition to addressing privacy issues they save energy by governing the sun’s access. Advance planning ensures that the necessary power and control wires will be in place at each window.

PRE-WIRE TIP #6 - LIGHTING SYSTEM - A lighting system responds to sensors, timers or push buttons and can control security, heating, and window coverings. Attractive keypads with programmable buttons replace multiple light switches. Pre-programmed buttons set lighting scenes for different moods. Different systems use different cabling so it’s best to decide on the system before prewiring.

PRE-WIRE TIP #5 – MULTI-ROOM VIDEO – Cover all bases by sending 2-RG6 coax cables and 2-Cat5 cables from a central location to each room where you want a TV. This means you can put a satellite or cable receiver in each room, locate just one receiver centrally and distribute its output to each room, or connect your TV to the Internet to receive IP delivered content such as Netflix or Apple TV.

PRE-WIRE TIP #3 – SECURITY – The best protection is a monitored system including smoke and gas detectors. A variety of sensors are available, including flood, glass break, power outage, motion detectors. A properly designed system goes beyond intrusion detection to interact with other systems to control basic operations, provide personal safety and future monitoring for independent living.

PRE-WIRE TIP #2 – INTERCOM - Pre-wire to suit the intercom you want. Some systems interface with multi-room audio, to mute the music when the intercom rings or play your sources through keypads. Others have proprietary cabling requirements. Cable runs from the doorbell locations to the central hub allow for a video intercom using your TV’s and phones. Add a wire run for an electric door latch.

PRE-WIRE TIP #1 – STRUCTURED CABLING Structured cabling means feeds for telephone, televisions and networking are home run from each room to a central hub. External feeds for services are brought to a demarcation point, where the hub panel contains splitters, amplifiers and modems. With your cables clearly labelled, it’s a neat installation easy to access for future changes or troubleshooting.
