Going through the photos recently, we remembered that we never posted the finished project in Northside SM. Not sure how it got overlooked because it was a big job. We ultimately installed 11 TVs around the house including two 80” Sony 950G.

The first series of photos highlights how much effort goes in to setting up for a whole house audio system, camera system, and data network. The conduits seen in the upper left hand corners are for future use, except for the run to the garage as that is the incoming service from Spectrum. The rack is mounted back to back of the structured wiring panels in the first photos. The basement rack houses all the networking gear, whole house audio, and camera system. The camera system was designed so that the live video of the cameras could be viewed on all main TVs in the house.

One of the exciting elements of the system was the outdoor audio. We paired four outdoor satellite speakers with two subs to create a full rich sound. The speakers were evenly distributed around the yard so as not to create any loud or quiet zones in the yard. This thing CRANKS, without any distortion when the volume is up. It sounded crystal clear all the way in the front yard, and I’m sure a block away, when the volume was beyond any normal listening level. The video was recorded on a cell phone and only begins to do the audio fidelity justice.
