This is the 'arteries' of the Smart Home Automation Network with the 'heart' being the main control unit. It is a planned and organised method of residential low voltage cabling allowing for efficent and flexible distribution of data, audio, communication and video services through an home automated network. It is designed to allow for future additions of services or alterations into existing outlets without major disturbance or rewiring.

What are they?
The answer is quite simple - all of the above are names to describe the bringing together of the different low voltage residential services into the house to a central point. Utilising the home network this allows a planned and organised method of distribution and sharing of the services throughout the house.These services typically includes telephones, data, Internet access, TV RF signals and satellite or cable TV.
A correctly designed sysem will allow flexability as to what any outlet in any room may be used for. It also allows other services, which may be required at a later stage, to be added and for the system to be altered or modified without major disturbance or rewiring.
Additional services that can be part of a structured home network system may include security, CCTV cameras, door entry, multi room audio, home cinema, lighting control and much more. Your imagination is the only limit!
