New Construction - Security, Cameras, Audio & Video - Recommendations?

[fatw]

msu,

I'm in a similar boat. Lots of good discussion on this thread. Can you summarize your solution at this point so it's easy to see what you came away with from all this?

Thanks.

Well, to summarize I went with the following:

C4 Component Matrix

Integra 30.3 Surround Sound Receiver

C4 Audio Matrix (8 and 4 Channel - 12 zones)

H1000

H300

4 - H200's (6 different zones - two rooms share one controller)

5 - SR 250 remotes

10 zones of audio with Sonance speakers

2 zones of audio with mariner speakers (outdoor patios)

1 zone of audio - 5.1 surround sound system with Monitor Audio

5 media players (Dune D1)

1 NAS Server

1 RG6 Run to each TV

2 Cat6 Runs to each TV

1 Cat5 Run to each TV

2 Phone locations Prewire

4 Prewire locations with one RG6 and one Cat5

3 Prewire locations to potentially add more audio zones later

4 light switch locations to improve zigbee wireless network

M&S Intercom system with 13 locations

Honeywell VP128 with windows, doors, glass breaks, motion sensors, integrated smoke detectors & high water sensor (sump pump)

I think that's all.... I know it's like 6,000 feet of wire running through the house. It looks like an office with the big trunks of wire running back to the server area.
