VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol):

 

Important information for consumers who are considering using VOIP services.

 

With VOIP installed in the home there will be conflicts with it and the security system.  The communication and reliability of the system is compromised.  The security system will only communicate with the central station on a 50/50 chance of successful attempts.  VOIP internet connection might have a chance of not working properly and the alarm system will not be able to make an emergency call to the monitoring center when needed.  For this reason SST recommends keeping a dedicated local phone line for the security system.  Check with your local phone providers for prices and information on basic phone lines.

 

DSL (Digital Subscriber Lines):

 

For customers considering installing a DSL line for the internet in their home and using a security system, their will need to be a specialized security filter installed on the security panel so it can effectively transmit and receive signals from the monitoring center.  There will be a $37.72 (tax included.  Prices subject to change) charge for the filter itself with a possible $35 trip charge.

What is Structured Wiring?

Structured Wiring is the key to keeping your house in tune with technologies such as high speed internet access, telephone systems, computing, cable TV, home automation and security.
A Structured Wiring System consists of a central point (S.U.N) that accepts incoming services and distributes them throughout the home using high performance cabling and high quality outlets which are specifically designed to support devices like computers, audio/video equipment, telephones, security systems, lighting controls and other devices to enhance your home.

Guide:

  • 1 RG-6 coaxial is used for normal satellite TV.
  • 1 RG-6 coaxial is used for digital cable.
  • 2 RG-6 coaxial is used for high definition satellite.
  • 1 Rg-6 coaxial is used for video distribution.

If you are planning on doing a combination of cable and satellite, then look at the guide and add RG-6 to those locations.

What is Whole House Audio/Video?

Whole house audio/video refers to a centralized audio/video system that distributes sound and video signals throughout the home. With a whole house audio/video system, the only components present in each room are the speakers, TV screens and the wall mounted control keypad or wireless remote. Signals sent through the system will allow you to control your A/V equipment, or a centrally located MP3 server from each room or exterior listening location.

What is Home Automation?

Home automation is the integration of the different systems in your home to function as one unit. Home control systems are typically operated by either touch screens or keypads. A Home Control system will effectively tie together your indoor and outdoor lighting, audio and video equipment, security system, even your heating and cooling system.

With a Home Automation system, you can press one button and have the lights brighten, your favorite music come on and the temperature be set at the most comfortable level. These types of events are called "scenes" and can be programmed on your remotes to your specific needs. For example, a goodnight scene that turns off all the lights and arms the security system, or a party scene that turns on lights and music for entertaining guests.

What is a Home Computer Network?

A Home Computer Network is group of computers and associated devices that are typically setup to share printers, files and a single high-speed Internet connection. It can also be configured to provide a higher level of security by implementing a set of rules and parental controls to protect your children from inappropriate online content. In addition, wireless components can be integrated to your home network that will allow you access other computers, printers, MP3 servers or browse the internet from anywhere in the house, and even the patio.

What is Prewire?

As technology advances, the internal wiring of your home will become more and more important. "Prewire" is the term used for running wiring through a home while it is under construction. Planning for future technologies requires several different types of wire. In order to design your dream system, we like to meet with you early on in the building process. We begin our actual wiring after the HVAC, electrical and plumbing have been roughed-in; just before the insulation is installed.
