21st Century Toys ...

A 1930’s house with a 21st century makeover, featuring award-winning smart home technology – it doesn’t get much better than this!  The Darlands is a truly impressive family home that showcases the talents of installer Smartcomm and Crestron’s Total Home Technology solution!

Renovated to the very highest standard, this property boasts an enviable technological specification.  Uniquely, the homeowners’ priority was not for audio-visual provision but for technology that delivered real benefits by offering the ultimate lifestyle of comfort, convenience and security.  In answering the brief, Smartcomm have delivered an all-encompassing, fully integrated and Crestron-controlled automation system, which is capable of addressing all the needs of the property’s occupants.    With acres of landscaped grounds surrounding it, a dependable security system was a must.  A Siedle video and audio entry system was integrated with a Crestron control system and a Panasonic phone system to allow the owners to see and hear visitors at the front gates before allowing them access.  

Crestron control is featured throughout the house either through wall mounted or wireless touchpanels.  The contemporary kitchen not only looks stylish but is fully functional and is further enhanced with lighting, audio, CCTV, gate entry and electronic door lock control through a TPS2000L touchpanel.  Whilst a TPMC8X provides control of all of the audio-visual elements within the chocolate leather walled cinema room, allowing for a simple and pleasurable home movie theatre experience. And, in the master bedroom there is a Crestron RMC room control box and a MT1000-C mini-touch handheld wireless touchpanel for control of, amongst other things, the motorised blinds and curtains

A 2-Series Control System enables every audio, video, and environmental element of the property to be integrated and accessible. Unmatched for power, performance and scalability, the AV2 boasts six built-in COM ports, eight IR/Serial ports, eight I/O Versiports, eight isolated relays.  A C2ENET1 Ethernet Expansion Card provides the essential interface for control of the property’s numerous devices including video projectors, plasma displays, switchers, DVD players, screens and much more.
