SONOS HOME THEATER
Bring The Scene
Into The Room.
Make dialogue easier to follow, add weight to the action and enjoy your favorite music through the same system. We match the setup to your room rather than choosing a package by size alone.
Sonos Arc Ultra · Example home theater equipmentA Soundbar For Your TV
Arc Ultra uses Sound Motion technology and supports Dolby Atmos. The Beam family offers compact Atmos options, while Ray offers a simpler TV-sound upgrade. We check your TV connections and sources before selecting equipment.
Bass With Impact
Sub 4 and Sub Mini add dedicated low-frequency sound to compatible Sonos systems. We choose the subwoofer and location for the room, listening level and equipment it will join.
Compatible Rear Surrounds
Two matching, supported Sonos speakers can serve as rear surrounds. Era 300 offers an immersive option with compatible Atmos soundbars; the exact pairing depends on the main speaker.
Connections Done Properly
TV ports, audio formats, source settings and cable paths all affect the result. We check HDMI ARC/eARC or optical requirements and configure the agreed setup.
Tuning For The Room
Supported Trueplay tuning adjusts sound for the space. Available tuning methods depend on the Sonos product and phone or tablet used; we review the options during setup.
Private Listening Options
Sonos Ace and Ace Ultra headphones add another way to enjoy entertainment. TV Audio Swap works with supported soundbars and configurations; headphones are a separate listening option.
SONOS MUSIC / MULTIROOM LISTENING
One Song Everywhere.
Or A Mood
For Every Room.
Play a podcast in the kitchen, music in the living room or group rooms when you are entertaining. We design around the places you actually listen.
Sonos Era 300 · Spatial audio speakerSpeakers That Fit The Space
Choose compact Era speakers or Five for dedicated music listening. Speaker locations, room acoustics and where you sit guide the selection.
Stereo Or Spatial Audio
Supported matching speakers can form a stereo pair. Era 300 supports Dolby Atmos music through compatible services and playback methods; spatial audio requires supported content.
Simple Everyday Control
The Sonos app brings supported music services and room controls together. AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and voice options vary by product; we help select the controls you want.
Music Beyond The Living Room
Portable Move 2, Sonos Play and Roam 2 offer Wi-Fi and Bluetooth listening. Permanent outdoor installations use appropriately rated speakers and planned wiring.
Keep Your Existing Hi-Fi
Sonos Port adds streaming to a compatible receiver or amplified stereo system. Amp powers passive speakers. We check the existing equipment and connections before recommending either.
A Network Built For Audio
We plan coverage and wired connections where appropriate, then configure the network for supported Sonos communication. Consistent audio starts with suitable placement and connectivity.
SONOS AMPLIFICATION / ARCHITECTURAL SPEAKERS
Sound That Belongs
In Your Home.
For new construction, remodels or an existing wired-speaker system, we bring amplification, speaker placement and room control into one plan.

SONOS + UBIQUITI / ONE PROJECT PLAN
The Sound You Love.
The Foundation It Needs.
We design your audio and network together, while each platform keeps its own controls: Sonos for listening, UniFi for network, video and access management.
At Home
Pair room-by-room music and TV sound with planned Wi-Fi coverage, wired infrastructure and Ubiquiti cameras.
At Your Business
Plan Sonos installed audio alongside UniFi networking, PoE capacity, camera coverage and door access.
In A Remodel
Coordinate speaker wire, Ethernet, ceiling locations and equipment space before finishes are complete.
For Future Growth
Leave room in cable paths, amplification, switch ports and power budgets for the next stage of your property.
UNIFI NETWORK
Wi-Fi That Keeps Up.
A Network That Grows.
A good network is more than a faster router. We plan access-point locations, cable runs, switching and gateway capacity around your building and the way you use it.
Improve Your Network ↗
Ubiquiti Pro Max 24 PoE · Example network hardwareIndoor & Outdoor Wi-Fi
Ceiling, wall and outdoor access points let us match coverage to the space. Wi-Fi 7 options support newer devices; performance depends on the model, client devices and environment.
Gateways & Network Security
UniFi gateways bring routing, firewall policies and supported intrusion detection and prevention together. We choose capacity for your internet service and connected devices.
PoE Switching & Cabling
Power over Ethernet carries power and data over one cable to compatible access points and cameras. We plan switch ports, power budgets and cabling with room for growth.
Separate Networks
Keep guests, business devices, cameras and smart-home equipment in appropriately configured network segments, with access rules suited to your needs.
Remote & Multi-Site Connectivity
Supported VPN and site-to-site options connect authorized users and locations. Backup internet can be added where the gateway, service and project call for it.
Visibility & Troubleshooting
UniFi management brings device status and traffic insights into one place. Clean labeling, organized equipment and a proper handoff make the network easier to understand.
UNIFI PROTECT / UBIQUITI CAMERAS
More Than Recording.
Intelligent Detection.
Our camera systems use Ubiquiti UniFi Protect. New-generation G6 and AI-series options bring AI-enhanced detection to your property, helping you find relevant activity and review events faster.
Design Your Camera System ↗Ubiquiti G6 Bullet · Example camera hardwarePeople & Vehicles
Smart detections help distinguish people and vehicles from ordinary movement, so you can focus your review on the activity that matters.
Face & Plate Recognition
Compatible G6 and AI models can recognize faces and read license plates. Camera selection, placement and lighting matter; these features are not available on every model.
Alerts Around Your Priorities
Use detection events and configured rules to surface relevant activity. Compatible models offer line-crossing detection, with options suited to entries, driveways and other key areas.
Find Events Faster
Search recordings by supported detection types. Optional AI Key hardware adds natural-language search and other advanced analysis capabilities to compatible systems.
Local Recording & AI
Protect stores footage on your local recording hardware. Detection processing runs on the camera or compatible local AI hardware, rather than requiring cloud video analysis.
Live Views, Wherever You Are
View live and recorded video through the Protect app or web interface when remote access is configured. Choose bullet, turret, dome, compact or PTZ cameras for the location.
Detection features depend on the camera and supporting hardware. For example, face and plate recognition exclude certain 360° models; line-crossing support varies, and audio detection requires a microphone. We specify the capabilities included in your system.
See Ubiquiti's Camera Detection Guide ↗The Right View. The Right System.
We plan field of view, night coverage, network power and recording storage around your property.
UNIFI ACCESS
Right Person.
Right Door.
Right Time.
Replace scattered keys and disconnected entry systems with a coordinated access plan. We help match UniFi readers, hubs and intercoms to the doors, gates and people at your property.
Plan Access Control ↗Ubiquiti G3 Starter Kit Pro · Example access hardwareCards, Phones & PINs
Choose credential methods for your users. NFC cards, mobile unlocking, PINs and wallet-based Touch Pass options are supported by compatible readers and configurations.
Permissions & Schedules
Control which users can enter which doors, and when. Access policies can reflect work hours, restricted areas and different user groups.
Visitors & Intercoms
Compatible intercom readers support visitor communication and remote entry workflows. Visitor schedules and supported QR credentials help manage temporary access.
Doors, Gates & Elevators
UniFi offers dedicated control hardware for different entry points. We assess the opening, existing hardware and project requirements before recommending a system.
Connected Video & Entry
Protect and Access can work together for supported door-monitoring workflows, giving authorized users more context around entry activity.
Designed For The Opening
Reader locations, cabling, lock compatibility and the way people enter and exit all matter. We plan the installation around your building, not just the product box.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Know What
You're Getting.
Will Sonos And UniFi Use The Same App?
They are separate platforms. Sonos manages audio, while UniFi manages networking, cameras and access through its applications. We plan the network and installation together and explain the controls for each system.
Can You Use My Existing Speakers?
Often, yes. Sonos Amp or Amp Multi can power compatible passive speakers, while Port adds Sonos streaming to a compatible amplified system. We review speaker impedance, wiring and existing equipment first.
Does Every Sonos Speaker Support Atmos Or Work As A Surround?
No. Spatial audio, surround pairing, tuning and TV connections vary by model. We check the soundbar, rear speakers, TV and content sources so the specified system is compatible.
Are All Camera AI Features The Same?
No. G6 and AI-series cameras offer intelligent detection, but capabilities vary. Some advanced tools need AI Key or AI Port hardware, and certain camera types have exclusions. We identify the features in your proposal so you know what the system will do.
Do I Need A Cloud Recording Subscription?
Core UniFi Protect records locally and does not require a cloud recording subscription. You still need suitable recording hardware and drives. Optional services, connectivity and support may have separate costs.
Can You Upgrade An Existing Network Or Camera System?
Yes. We can review existing equipment and cabling, then recommend what to keep and what to replace. Some third-party cameras can connect to Protect through ONVIF; recording and detection capabilities depend on compatibility and supporting hardware.
Can You Help Choose And Supply The Equipment?
Yes. We sell Ubiquiti and Sonos products and help select equipment for your space. Networking, camera, access-control and smart-home needs can be discussed together.
Can I Start With One Part And Expand Later?
Yes. A thoughtful plan for cabling, switch power, gateway capacity and recording storage can make later additions easier. Tell us where you'd like the system to grow.
