Connect Home Technology and Security System Update Video

Bob meets up with Tim Woods of the Internet Home Alliance in the basement of the Quechee home to check out the progress of the integration of the connected home technology. Looking at the network control center, Tim points out the wires representing the different systems in the house. The black wires come from the two-way satellite communication and provide the internet access and the high definition and broadband-capable entertainment. Another group of cables come from the home runs (or two-plus-twos and include coax and ethernet) in each room. These facilitate the distribution of shared data throughout the house. The telephony refers to the phone lines coming in for distribution through the rest of the house. The router provides for data distribution and internet access and ties in with the wireless system as well. Upstairs some of the ADT I-centers are already hooked up and are tied in with the security system which has a box of its own in the basement.
