Home automation is an imprecise term for precise technologies that work together to provide you with superior levels of security, comfort, and audio visual entertainment.

At Design Cinema, we work with you to understand your aspirations, needs and concerns, and design systems that precisely match you and and the way you live — systems that can be easily extended over time. We’re truly independent, so you can be sure that we will always specify the best equipment for the job in hand.

So whether your project is a new build or property renovation or refurbishment we can show you what all the different technologies will do for your home and what they mean in terms of functionality and cost.

Whole Home Communications
Whether it's a computer, a phone system with intercom and baby monitoring functions, wireless or wired—we ensure that the networking of your homes supports your clients' lifestyles.

Remote Controls
Design Cinema streamlines and simplifies all the technology in your home offering the ultimate lifestyle of comfort and convenience. By using Crestron's award-winning Total Home Technology Solution, we eliminate the need to walk from room to room to adjust drapes, lights, temperature, and audio/video components. Whether from an easy-to-use color touchpanel, remote or a customized keypad, total control is always at your fingertips.

Imagine with just a single touch the lights dim, the shades close, the plasma TV turns on and your favorite movie begins. All you need is the popcorn and soda. Imagine your window treatments are programmed to adjust at pre-set times to reduce glare and protect delicate fabrics and fine art from harmful direct sunlight. Imagine at night the hallway lights automatically illuminate as you walk by.

Imagine what Design Cinema experience can bring to your lifestyle.

Structured Wiring
Because every floor plan is different, we'll review your plans in detail before making any recommendations for a high bandwidth distribution system that transports audio, video, data, and telecommunications throughout the home.

Additionally, we'll help you decide which wiring should be standard and which should be offered as options to support your homeowners' needs for entertainment, phone, wired and wireless LANs.

A structured wiring system includes:

  • Distribution of external services such as CATV, satellite TV, broadcast TV, telephone, and high speed internet access
  • Processing and redistribution of internally generated signals such as those from VCRs, DVD players, audio equipment, security cameras, and home computers
  • The Home Shoppe has highly trained and certified installers, programmers, and technicians that work closely with your project manager or superintendent to ensure timely installation of the cables and components before drywall installation and finishing occur.
  • Trimming out the system includes labeling each outlet and wire to help eliminate confusion when installing phones, PCs and entertainment devices.


Home Security
From the moment your clients first step into their home, they'll have the peace of mind knowing that their home is equipped with the best security system.

Security packages include any of the following:

  • Protection from burglary, fire, carbon monoxide and more in a single system
  • Door and window contacts, motions sensors and closed circuit cameras networked to your TV
  • Master control panels with sleek touchpad controls
  • High-performance wiring to meet your current and future security needs
  • 24-hour monitoring
