- This is a house we did for ROHI Dev. We tried to cover all the bases on what the end user would want in a smart home / automated home with out going over the top. The home allows for direct control of AV equipment and network devices through a control processor that is connected to the network. www.knoxsecurity.com
This is awesome. I just searched for videos on how to run cat5 from upstairs to the basement and now I'm addicted to watching these videos.
should be cat6 shielded , where on gigabit now not 10/100 lol
Glad you were able to find a builder that actually adopts smart home integration, most of them cry about every extra penny spent.
service loop .... after the fact is brilliant.
When you said HDMI cable you mean cat5/6? Converted then to hdmi? Or is hdmi cable the one you are using there ?
Thanks in advance
Running cat6+ to be used as converted HDMI
Skynet how do they converted? Is it good for 3D or 4K resolution ?
@@macrapidito1 digital video compression for most right now. there are a variety of companies that make HDbaseT transmitters. that will suit your needs from standard 4K -to- video matrix lossless 4k dolbly vision / HDR video-phile grade transmission.
Skynet, I ran all of the wiring that you spoke of in our home, but I have no idea how to get the "IR" wire as you called it.... Can you assist and let us know where you were able to find the IR wire?
Is using a staple to attach the CAT cable to the stud a common construction practice?
it is
+Skynet what are thoes plastic bracket, where all the low voltage comes into the server area, called. I can't fine anything like that anywhere.
Any luck?
I heard DVD, ir, and immediately had to uncheck upload date. This really good. Wiring though.
Blue ray ultra my man. Way better than streaming "4K"
Nice job. What is the make and model of the WAP's you use?
any cheap one will do its only for phones
depends on your wants set up and budget.
I know this is an old question, but I highly recommend Ubiquiti. Good balance of price and features.
I usually never post on youtube, but what are some good reasons for running IR (i assume cat6) to every room or w/e a digital media hookup location will be at for a smart TV/other scattered throughout the house? I actually couldnt find much on IR and smarthome uses so I had to ask.
hey great video do you know how can i send audio from a tv to a receiver to listen to the built in apps of the tv over cat6 ?
your would have to run an optical from the TV to the receiver
You have two choices. Coax and optical. I prefer the coax with the orange RCA connector. I have also tried the optical connection from my TV to receiver, but find that the sound can cut in and out. It's probably dust in the connection, but that made it less reliable for me. I ran both Coax and optical from behind my main TV to the receiver to give maximum flexibility in the future.
ISP and cable companies will love this lol I wanna head to on this direction. On running low voltage wires in new construction.. I work for ATT so this will be a piece of cake plus everything now is cat5/6 and even fiber runs from the panel to outside. Any tips on how to get jobs like this? I wanna start doing it on the side with a partner and then take it full time.
Where you located??
Work really well
How did you get started in this business. I want to do this in North Carolina
Hi Skynet! I'm in the idea of opening my own low voltage company but I don't know how to price my jobs. Could you help me with some information like:
How much do you charge per wire drop (cat5 and RG6)?
Price for a 5.1 surround sound prewire
Prewire for basic alarm system (1 motion, all doors and windows, 1 keypad)
And if you have a bid proposal template it would be great.
I am located in Houston Texas, and my goal is to work in new residential houses. Thanks
Danny Campos
I price per drop. each area is different our prices in NJ are different than our prices in AZ. get a feel for your local market. multiple drops in one location get discount after the first drop.
Price them based on how much time and pain in the ass to do the job.
I wish you would have wired my house I had a built in 2013
Armyoft same :/ my builder made it so the structured panel is downstairs where I don't know yet how to drop wires into it
dont know how you are going to terminate at the tv points as there is no slack in those cables?? have fun
Im glad wasn't the only who saw that. At the very least service loop each box, nothing worst then too little of length in a box.
what's IR cable?
pretty much any 2 conductor cable. preferably 22g to 20g
This is what you do when you want to make sure the TV can spy on you.
MrEndzo just don't get a smart TV with a camera. The automation is usually network based. So your security is only as strong as your weakest point.
Great video thanks. Just curious.. Why do we need IR points throughout the house as (like you said) most smart homes of the future will be controlled by smartphones. It is just that I am currently planning out how to wire my new home and am a little confused with all the IR options available. ie: wallplate IR Multizone IR. etc. I am trying to decipher which IR product would be best for a 4or 5 zone home to ONE media closet (below stairs) Just not sure if I can incorporate 5 receivers to feed one emitter (which will probably control a Denon AVR and perhaps a Sonos Connect amp. Any suggestions would be welcome. Cheers
The main IR control processor will be located at the rack. This will control all of your TVs and receivers. These control processors are IP based and or RF. So a single controller or phone can be used for whole house. The receiver for your home theater goes in the AV rack too, the Cat wire will be ran from receiver to tv for you video. Hope that helps.
We are having a house built and pre installing conduit as it is single storey and all walls are solid brick. After watching this I feel a little more competent as I will be doing it all myself with limited knowledge
Conduit / flexible ent is a very smart idea. Keep in mind HDMI runs can go a max of 50ft. For longer runs it is best to use cat5+ or cat6+ & then use a HDMI over cat. I really like wirestorm, rock solid.
what is a DVD?
Ultra HD Blue Ray, You get a better picture vs the compressed 4k streaming from some streaming device.
Beautiful job!! I love this kind of videos.. where do you guys work out of??
Scottsdale AZ
Very professional job site very nice... Good video
Excellent video, short but sweet explanations of everything! Great job!
Man that would suck to have had this house built with all that great pre planning and here we are always advancing. Those hdmi cables are probably old spec, lacking the bandwidth for todays components. 🤦🏻♂️ probably can’t even handle 4K60 let alone 120 for the latest gen consoles.
you are right, tech is advancing! And this house can most definitely do 4KUHD 40M (4K@60 4:4:4) HDR, with an HDBaseT Extender... the extenders will only get better and the Cat6 we ran is still future proof till this day.
now, if you want better than this, lets say "8K" streaming... you would place a device like Nvidia Shield or apple TV behind the TV... and if you have 5.1 surround sound you extract the audio back to receiver... perfect for pretty much any set up... with the exception of an audio videophile who needs to have 8K UHD 120+hz, which is done using Blu-ray ultra or their own Video server.... which wasn't necessary since it was for a builder..... buuut if you wanted to you can still use the Nvidia shield for the plex server...
One word: conduit.
No grommet for running the wires through the electric knock out in the tech can? Would fail inspection here.
What inspections are done on low voltage cabling there??
thanks for the professional look at the home cable runs!
I want learn
how do you power the outdoor speakers? do they have to connect to some sort of receiver like a sonos receiver?
pair the speakers with the best amp for those speakers. then use sonos, heos or bose for streaming.
I am prewiring my house I installed coaxial and media cable cat6 for tv but in a closet away from living room is my panel. N that’s where my stereo receiver will be n also that’s where my ceiling speaker wire goes. Do I need to add another wire to the wall were my TV will since that receiver will be far away?
Do I need a plenum cat 6 and social when you're running it like that?
No, plenum is for running wires in air returns or ducts
Yeah he cleared it up pretty nice for you. A lot of times in commercial buildings the ceiling space is used as a return air supply for the HVAC units.
Is there ever a problem when using closed cell spray foam over cat 6?
Please do more videos like this
Ill do one of a retro shortly
Great installation did you cover the trunks laying on the ground??????? You know what will happen once the Drywall crews get in there!!!! Total Messsssssssss!!!!!
Very true. we either coil the wire within the wall and pull it out of the mud ring after drywall (track homes). or we work with the drywallers and making sure that the wire is not cut, (custom homes)
What do you think about ENT also known as Smurf tube? Basically there’s different colors of conduit‘s that are used for low-voltage cable management.
I’m using it in my house during its construction. That’ll allow you to fish new wire easily without tearing the whole house apart
Where can I purchase a network panel just like that?
Make/model of cabinet to fit between studs?
Whats IR? also, do I run cat5 for HDMI?
IR is Infrared Remote. no, run Cat6+ or above. They have Cat8 now, so probably go with that.
what type of ir ?
Raulz Zarags
it's just a cat6+ line. you can use TX or RX IR.
thanks awesome work
skynet
Great video. I’m starting the process to build a house and being an IT guy I think you did everything right. Exactly as I want to do it. Question, what is the product you use for IR?
just a standard IR blasters. I'm a fan of RTi's emitters. I was using cat wire for the IR runs. If you cant get an IR wire somewhere or have a detached guest / pool house use Global Cahe IP2IR.. hope everything goes well on your project! keep us posted or make a video of your own.
For Chrissakes, stop sniffling! You must have a really bad nose candy habit, and just need to quit cold turkey.
Yea u don't need 3 wifi access points, 1 will do as it's made of wood lol
Mantaray sure you could get decent coverage on 2.4ghz in that property depending on the WAP and obsticals other than the wood you see in the framing.... you also have to think of coverage on 5ghz Wi-Fi, and the wireless card in the devices you will be connecting with... the end user can do what ever they want. house is bigger than it looks, vid doesn't show whole house. there is going to be double layer drywall, stone and other obstructions. If it was your house you could do as you please.
Yep. For 5.8Ghz, you might need 3 for good coverage. Agreed.
