The Lodge The Lodge The Lodge The Lodge

The lodge was built in 1887, an imposing eight-bedroom home sitting on the hill in the middle of its village

setting located in leafy Kent.

A house this old and large makes it difficult to get good Wi-Fi coverage and working from home was a challenge

for the homeowners.

After a free consultation with Link It Solutions to understand the homeowners’ requirements, we designed a

non-intrusive package to meet their brief, then on agreement we installed, ran all necessary cables to provide

ample Wi-Fi, CCTV, door and gate control and entertainment taking this beautiful old home into the 21st century.

With 4 TV screens throughout the house, Link It Solutions

installed an Ultra High-Definition matrix to ensure the

reliable and easy distribution of 4K video and CCTV images

at the touch of a button of the handheld remotes or via the

touch screen panel on the walls. The system ensured that

they would have independent and continuous access to any

of the sources like Blue-ray and CCTV cameras from any TV

in the house at any time of the day.

An 8 zone music system was installed to allow easy access

and sharing of the audio across the home and garden.

This was achieved by installing a streaming music server and

zone multiroom amplifiers.

The audio from the TVs were also routed to the speakers

installed in each zone.

Each music zone has its own independent source choice and

volume control.

Rock speakers were discretely installed in the gardens and

courtyards to provide music for entertainment and

relaxation.

SecuritySecuritySecuritySecurity

To ensure security and peace of mind for the homeowners, we

installed an Elan based CCTV system with cameras covering

the entire perimeter of the property.

Like all the other features offered by Elan, CCTV is available

through the Elan application. CCTV is also available on all TVs

and is available by a single button press via handheld remotes.

Door and gate entry is controlled by 2N IP Solo Intercom

Systems, allowing the homeowner to open the gate and front

door if required via the smart home interface and this can be

done from anywhere using the Smart app on the owner’s

phone

It was important for the homeowner to easily interact with the

systems and features installed.

Elan Handheld remote controls were provided for ease of use

controlling CCTV, music, and smart TV features in all rooms

where installed.

An Elan ITP8 wall mounted touchscreen was installed for

convenience and configured to give access to security and

entertainment systems in the home.

All controls are available to the homeowner via mobile phones.

For a smart home system to operate smoothly, a stable and

reliable network system is required.

Link It Solutions guaranteed security for their customers by

installing an enterprise-grade firewall to shield their home

from internet threats.

Gigabit switches, structured cabling, and strategically placed

Wi-Fi access points, ensured the owners now enjoy seamless

coverage of the 3 floors of their property, including their

garden.

Having complete Wi-Fi coverage in a brick-built home with

walls 1 foot deep is no easy feat.

A few kilometres of cat6 cables were run around the

property to ensure each TV had a dedicated connection to

the internet,

Computers and VOIP phones in the study also got dedicated

network for wire speed internet access. All Wi-Fi access

points also had dedicated cable runs ensuring blanket cover

with Wi-Fi at wire speed
