You don't have to call ahead or register-simply show up and experience the newest version of Microsoft Office. Home automation is the integration of technology and modern conveniences in your home for intelligent living. Home automation can be as simple as an additional phone line for high-speed Internet services, or controlling a light or an appliance in your home. Most home automation installations start with a Structured Cabling System in a new home or remodeling project. Structured Cabling is the most important factor for future proofing your investment.
Most homes built today are obsolete when the owner walks through the door for the first time.
With a Structured Cabling system in place you open up many possibilities in your home. One possibility is a computer network for sharing printers, scanners and other devices. You may want to have a satellite system, cable TV, or just a simple antenna for local stations or all three systems. A video camera can be used to monitor a baby's room or at the front door to see who is calling. Many homes today have an office, which may require a high-speed Internet connection like ISDN, DSL or cable modem.
