Introduction

Hello all,

My name is Christopher and I reside in Cape Town, South Africa. Our family has an old house, built in the late 1890s - so for the large part we cannot make any structural changes (in order to retain the style and value of the house). Our system, for the start will encompass Security and Media management, but if the system is a success I plan to expand this into home automation and telecommunications - and beyond!

I have recently ordered a large amount of the hardware that I plan to use for our initial setup, which will contain one Hybrid and one dedicated MD.
