Smart Home

We work with only the leading manufacturers from the Security, Networking, Audio Visual and Home Automation industries, to ensure we provide our customers with proven, reliable systems.

For reliability and resilience, the majority of our systems required hard wired cabling solutions to be in place. Naturally this is always easier and beneficial to install as part of a renovation, extension or new build project. However, if this is not possible then Advanced AV Solutions will work with you to design the most suitable solution for your property with minimal disruption.

The majority of your ‘smart’ devices throughout your home will rely on WiFi and with so many of them within our homes nowadays, this can often slow down performance.

There is no getting away from WiFi throughout the home, especially with a lot of incoming entertainment being streamed into your property.

That said, we would always recommend hard-wiring devices that can be hard wired, for example, allowing network data points for smart TVs, Games consoles, Desktop computers etc. This way you will ensure the quickest and most reliable connections.

With so many devices relying on your WiFi, it is equally important that you have a quick and reliable WiFi signal throughout every corner of your home. There is nothing worse than ‘dead spots’ in your house where you lose connection.

Advanced AV Solutions will work with you to design and install both hard-wired network solutions and reliable, fast WiFi throughout your property.

Whatever your property type, Advanced AV Solutions will work with you to design suitable systems.

How long is a piece of string? Unfortunately there are too many variables. A smart home can encompass so may sub systems. For example you could spend £10,000 on a 5 bedroom property  for a basic AV system or you could spend £100,000 plus on an ‘all singing all dancing’ system with a media room.

Whatever your budget is though, our team are very good at ‘value engineering’ certain elements and can design a system to fit your requirements and your budget that can be added to over time – the most important part, is to get those wires in!

Similar to the smart home question – How long is a piece of string? There are a lot of variables in a home cinema. You could spend £15,000 which would get you a good sound system with a projector and a screen. But you could also spend £30,000-£50,000+ with a room that was fully acoustically treated with proper cinema seating. We can offer a full turn key service regardless. You give us a room – one to four weeks later we give you your own dedicated cinema room.

Our projects are typically booked 4-12 weeks solid in advance.  That being said – where there is a will there is a way.  We can typically get  a proposal back to you between 48-72 hours and then, have a 7 day turn around on our design services. 

 

If you’ve stumbled across us at last minute – don’t be put off, we will make it happen one way or another! Contact us sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

 

System issues we offer SLA’s for our security and AV systems which will get an engineer to you within 4 hours 247/365.

For sure! We can liaise with these professionals to get you an expertly designed smart home that has minimal visual impact. If your interior designer doesn’t want to see speakers for example we can use ones that are plastered in and invisible to the eye!
