Here’s a sample of the packaged systems others may offer; giving you an idea of what’s included. These options represent “starter packages,” while FulTech’s UCS covers these items and much more. With expandability and growth built in that’s greater than any other company’s system, your new FulHouse will typically contain between 90-200 drops per home (the systems below are typically from 20-60 drops):

• (8) Data outlets (CAT5E – 100BaseT/350MHz)
• (8) Video in/out ports (1GHz Video)
• (1) 28″ or 42″ Media Panel 
• (1) AC power block

• (1) Cable modem/DSL ready wiring (whole house)
• (1) DSL sharing capable (whole house LAN)
• (12) Total data/LAN ports (100 BaseT capable)

• (1) Home theater pre-wire (Dolby 7.1 and DTS compatible or Dolby Atmos)
• (1) Master bed simulated theater pre-wire (Dolby surround compatible)- LCR Soundbar, rear cieling speakers and subwoofer

This stage is the time to choose according to your preferences or budget, because every cable or wire run in the structured cabling plan doesn’t need to be used right away. In fact, most homeowners often choose to upgrade phone and network outlets later.

For example, a single Category 5 cable has 4 pairs of wires in it. A telephone line only requires one (1) pair, so you can trim out for a single phone line or multiple lines, a fax line, and modem line. You can even add a cable TV or cable modem outlet in the same plate.

That type of distribution do you want right now? What type of trim do you want, standard equipment, some specialized outlets, or a full plug-n-play trimming? Do you want to install speakers and volume controls now, or upgrade later? These are a few of the questions we’ll ask as we customize your home the way you want it.

Basic Trim – Standard trim plates for telephone and cable TV outlets. It also includes blank plates over unused outlets.

Advanced Trim – This allows for some combination outlets. It’s a standard trim that allows the combining of telephone, cable TV, and network outlets into a single jack.

Decora Trim – Leviton’s Decora style trim plates allow for combination outlets for two phone lines, networks or cable outlets. You can also get screwless Trim Plates, for an elaborate finished look.

SOHO & QuickPort Trim – Leviton’s QuickPort multi port trim plates, allows for multiple TV, phone, cable, and network ports in a single wall plate.

The final phase of the FulHouse home automation plan involves setup, configuration, integration and programming of all subsystems. It’s one thing to install a security system or a home theater, but to install both and then add lighting control, climate control, touch screens, and CCTV cameras, that all work in concert. That’s what turns your house into a FulHouse.

Remember the image of George Jetson coming home from a tough day working at Spacely Sprockets? Other than having to walk his dog Astro on the treadmill, everything was so easy for him once he got home. Now you can experience that same level of comfort when FulHouse automates your home and integrates everything into one system.

Just imagine yourself…

Arriving home in the evening, you pull in the driveway and the lawn lights illuminate, the garage lights turn on, and the garage floods light your way. Once inside, simply disarm the security system with your key chain remote, and the preferred “HOME” lights all brighten to their preset levels, the A/C sets to a comfortable temperature, and the TV switches on with your favorite program.

Once settled in at home, if someone approaches the driveway, a sensor alerts you with a pleasant chime, and if you are watching any TV in the house, automatically the driveway CAM pops up in the “picture in picture” so you know who’s arriving. When they ring the doorbell, you simply pick up any phone to speak with them, and to “buzz” them in, you just press #5 on the phone keypad.

You hold one remote control available in each room that works the TV, VCR, DVD and stereo, not to mention the lights, drapes, and a multitude of other things for that room. We’ll reduce your anxiety of trying to find the correct remote with one main touch screen or one remote, controlling everything in your home. A few universal TV remotes throughout the house or one for each room can control all the audio/video equipment for that room, plus the lights, appliances, ceiling fans, drapes/blinds, etc.

When you leave for work or for an evening out, just press one button to arm your security system. This option automatically sets back the A/C 10 degrees, turns all major lights off after 5 minutes, and switches any TV or A/V equipment off. If the alarm is triggered while you’re away, all lights in the house will flash for 5 minutes, and all exterior lights will illuminate.
