Hello Cocoon Land! I'm helping out a family member who wants to wire their new house since it's undergoing heavy renovation.
Good news is most of the walls and ceiling are open, bad news is we have only a couple days before the garage get's drywalled but about a month to wire the rest of the house.
Planning on wiring for:
Distributed A/V
Whole Home Audio
Intercom
Cameras
Security
Automation
HVAC
Lighting
Landscape Lighting
Network
and anything else I can think of
No decisions have been made on any hardware yet so I'll need to be flexible in a few areas.
Looking for some advice on anything I may be overlooking when trying to future proof this garage.
3x Cameras (2 external, 1 internal)
2 cat5e, 1 rg6 each
4x inceiling speakers
speaker wire looped through keypad location and run to wiring closet, 1 cat5e from keypad to closet
Television
4 cat6, 2 rg6, 3 cat5e
2 Windows, 3 Garage doors, 1 external door, 1 motion, and 1 glass break
22/4 for each
Security keypad
2 cat5e
Network
2 cat6
Phone
2 cat6
Some of that might be overkill but I'd rather pull it and not need it than need something in a couple years and not have it. I've also put in a two inch conduit leading into the crawlspace above the garage and plan on putting in some smurf tube to LV boxes with pull string (thinking by the doors and tv?)
Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the poor sketch I'll try to put together something a little better tomorrow.
Thank you!
