Wiring Options

Today we had an appointment with the wiring rep and we selected a few options which we deemed as must haves.

• 4 standard outlets and we added 12 additional outlets (7 cable, 4 phone and 5 data) 6 in the second floor, 5 in the first floor and 5 in the basement
• Upgraded the networking panel with a power outlet inside for a router and modem
• Prewired basic security system (1 Control Panel, 1 Interior siren, LCD keypad, 2 motion detectors, 3 glass break detectors
• Build in Central Vac System
• Two media system pre-wiring

• 2 Central closet receivers pre-wiring
