Guides we're working on

We're writing plain-English guides to help you plan a project and know what to expect before work starts. They'll appear here as we publish them.

Control4 automation

What a Control4 system actually controls, how scenes and keypads are programmed, and how to plan a system you can add to later. Guide in progress.

Explore Control4 automation →

Home theatre

Room layout and seating, screen and speaker placement, acoustic treatment, and the wiring to run before drywall goes up. Guide in progress.

See home theatre installation →

Boardroom AV

Getting one-touch meetings to actually work: display sizing, mics and cameras for the room, cable runs, and video-call setup staff can use without help. Guide in progress.

Security

Where cameras belong to cover blind spots, how modern smart alarms cut false alarms, and how cameras and alarms work together in one app. Guide in progress.

Networking

Why smart-home gear needs a solid network, where to run cable and place access points for full-house WiFi, and how a labelled rack keeps it maintainable. Guide in progress.
