Working with you to Provide the Right Solution for your client.

Has your client given you a brief on what they would like? Maybe your client has discussed Home Automation but you need someone that can work with you to provide the answer. At AcousticAudio and Vision we can provide detailed plans, system specification and pricing for you & your client.

In our experience most clients are unsure of their requirements, but have an idea of how they want their home to work for them. We work closely with them to understand their needs, before recommending the solution.

Every step of the way we work with you and the builder to ensure you have all the information you need, from how deep to make the recess above the fireplace through to recommendations regarding sound control.

Some services we can provide:

Distribution of Hi-Def Video throughout the home, therefore only needing DVD player, with wireless control from every TV room;
Distribution of Music throughout the house, therefore only needing one Audio system, with wireless control throughout your home;
High speed broadband distribution;
Telephone distribution, VoIP recommended;
Gaming connections with the world;
Security alarm connection and access control;
Remote control of all appliances using infrared and / or WiFi;.

Make the "Smart Home" Decision.

People are familiar with the explosion of digital content (music, photos, movies, etc.) driving the need for home servers and faster connections for content creation, streaming and backup. Applications like voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) and gaming require low latencies (the time it takes for round-trip communication) and data integrity that only a adequately wired system can offer.

In the near future, fully automated homes with totally integrated and interactive systems will no longer be a high-priced luxury. These "smart homes" will, for instance, be able to automatically control all of it's lighting from bedroom to basement, or monitor and precisely allocate its' total energy usage or run a complete security alarm and surveillance system 24/7.
Homeowners without the proper infrastructure will be left behind or faced with expensive retrofit costs when these technologies become mainstream.

Adds Value, Increases Marketability.

The lesson to be learned now — before it's too late — is that the right infrastructure needs to be in place to accommodate the latest technologies and changing lifestyles.
Without a technology-ready infrastructure, the overall value and attractiveness of a new home will suffer, especially compared to those homes that are future-proofed. Moreover, the re-sale potential of future-proofed homes will be perceived by a modern home-buyer as being more valuable than "plain old" homes.

Home Automation is all about technology working for your client.
At Acoustic Audio and Vision we can integrate all your clients home technologies to remove complexity and to combine their functions for ease of control. Integration ensures the technology works together without interfacing problems, using everyday components and remotes.

Our staff are trained in AV system design and installation, your client has contracted your specialist services to design their home and it is just as important to use the same approach for this part of the project.

At AcousticAudio and Vision our design and installation procedures comply with the NZ Code for Residential and SOHO Premises Wiring (“Premises Wiring Code of Practice”).

All too often we are called in to try and rectify installations that other trade professionals have installed who aren’t in the trade but think they are.
