Hello!
I've been planning a house renovation for a while now, and I want to do new installations (Ethernet on category 7A cable, HDMI, alarm system, light control via the internet...). I'm already making preliminary measurements for the Ethernet and HDMI installations, but I have not yet purchased the cables. I have a few questions about these installations:
1) Intelligent light control - I was thinking of creating a dozen or so modules with relays, each controlling one light circuit, each module would be connected to a YTKSY cable with a few wires, they would converge to some kind of controller, mounted in a rack, based on some Arduino with ethernet? Is there any point in doing this myself at all? Are there any ready-made systems of this type? If so, for how much?
2 - Which IP cameras and which DVR? I'm keen on HD cameras, preferably FullHD, I haven't had much experience with such cameras, so please make suggestions. What kind of cable should I choose? Is it enough to use standard UTP 5E cable? The longest length of cable to the camera would be about 25m.
3) Alarm system - I already have an alarm system at home, an old one from 1998 with ordinary motion detectors, I will want to upgrade it, is there any point in adding sensors for breaking glass, opening windows, doors?
4. Ethernet - I've chosen 7A cables, I want them to be 'top of the line' for longer and be ready even for 100Gbps. Initially I wanted to make Ethernet and HDMI sockets in Keystone standard, but in Poland Mosaic is much more popular, what to choose?
