Have you considered security cameras into the equation? Security cameras are planned but still haven't decided . I have 6 network points for cameras . 4 external and 2 internal . Still trying to find a good setup that won't cost a bomb Are you looking at Webcam or CCTV options? No idea at this point. All I've done so Far is provision 6 cameras points with cat6 for future poe devices [/quote] The key thing is that you have provisioned for the POE ports...which is great. I'm going for 8 -10 Hikvision camera + NVR myself. Still undecided on the exact models, but will start researching as soon as we get the build started. Have you thought about where the NVR may go? I have provisioned a couple of points in a bedroom closet just in case I decide to place the NVR there. Did Metricon charge you extra for providing a hole in the garage wall? I had requested this feature myself as the garage would have made an ideal space for my AV rack, but Porter Davis have said it can't be done due to structural reasons. I'll have to try my luck with the Site supervisor directly, else the AV closet is going to be spread across the theatre and under stairs area for me... [/quote] The hole in the wall for projector is a site mgr thing Av rack - avoid the garage due to lack of air con. Your amps are likely to over heat. I had to change my plan cause of this. Just put network gear in garage if you have to. That's what I'm doing now. Nvr- all the Camera network cables will return to linen cupboard upstairs where I'll have a poe switch and nvr . From the cupboard it will also connect to the main house network(single cat6 to garage) What type of nvr I got no idea! Hkvision ???

[/quote] Just a quick note - If you are going to do wireless network, run a few more Cat6 POE for your AP's. also not that if you have acoustic insulation batts in the internal walls you are going to lose between 2-3db.
