Project: Bury St Edmunds Project
Location: Bury St Edmunds
This Bury St Edmunds project was something we loved working on. It took a while to take off, with numerous meetings to make sure our specification was spot on for the client. The Main House was the primary focus & we soon moved onto the external areas later down the line.
This was the clients first time they had invested in a system with Cerebrum & the outcome was fantastic. We have a great relationship with this client & we are still continuing to install/upgrade parts of the property when required.
With a 5.1 Surround Sound System in the TV Room, Centralised Lighting Control system & a multi-room audio set up in the Lounge this transforms the open-plan Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Area into party central. All systems are brought together by a Uni-Fi Home Network.

Wired Rako Lighting & Blind Control:
We installed a Full Wireless Rako Lighting Control System within the Property
We opted to use Rako EOS Keypads, giving the client control of their Lighting locally via a Keypad and enabling them to create the perfect lighting scene at the touch of a button
Rako Wireless RMT 500 & 800 Modules for Dimming/Switching. This has all been centrally located back in the Comms Cupboard
Full App Control either from the Control 4 or Rako App
Sonos Multi Room Audio in every habitable area.
Main House Audio:
- The TV Room has a Sonos Wireless 5.1 set up, which includes the following:
- Sonos Arc Soundbar & TV Attachment Bracket
- Sonos Wireless Gen 3 Subwoofer
- Two Origin In-Wall speakers (Rears) powered by a Sonos Amp
Other Audio Areas include:
- Kitchen / Dining
- Master Bedroom
All areas with TV have Audio return, meaning the client has the TV sound through the speakers.
To accompany the Sonos Amps we decided to install Origin Acoustic 8” in-ceiling speakers with speaker hoods throughout. With the ease of install & the potential to upgrade to the Origin speakers, these were a great option for this client.
TV Distribution:
We installed LG G2 OLED TV’s throughout;
- Lounge Area
- Dining/Kitchen
- TV Room
- Master Bedroom
- Bedrooms
Each Location has a Future Automation Motion Bracket, which gives you ease of movement with motion. Using the Future Automation bracket allows our client to have very simple control of the bracket by being able to move it seamlessly and easily to their desired angle.
AV & Network Rack
Within the Main House, we were given the space to be able to install a 27U Sanus Rack. This way, everything can be centrally located within the property in one location. We provided the correct ventilation & cooling so we can keep everything at the right temperature within the area. This is majorly important when it comes to the longevity of electronic equipment.
Network & Fibre Distribution: The most important part of the whole installation.
We decided to install a Full Ubiquiti Network within the Main House & External Areas.
We had to run Fibre cable links from Main house to the Gate, by using OS2 Fibre Cable. This way, the homeowner is future proofed for the ever growing speeds that come with Home Networks.
This gives the homeowner a fully distributed (Wireless & Wired) Home Network throughout. We achieved this by using the following kit Internally & Externally:
- Dream Machine Pro
- 48 Port POE Pro Network Switch
- In-Wall U6 Access Points
- U6 Pro Access Points
- Exterior U6 Access Points
Ubiquiti CCTV Cameras:
Despite the client not being overly security conscious, once we installed our Uni-Fi G4 Cameras, they were sold and wanted more.
We installed a total of 4x cameras around the Main House.
With a Uni-Fi NVR & the correct storage, we are able to give the clients full 4K Cameras running a constant record for at least 30 days.
DoorBird Door Entry System:
We installed the following for the client in terms of their Door Entry System. The system below gives the client the ability to answer the Doorbell call from the gate around the property. They also have full access/control away from the property via the DoorBird App.
Kit Installed:
- DoorBird Outdoor Station with Camera & Keypad
- DoorBird Entry Stations per floor
- DoorBird Chime Doorbells around the property
- Gate Control giving the ability to unlock the Gate from inside the house & away from the home
- Full App Control for IOS & Android
Maintenance & Aftercare:
With everything being controlled within this project, we made the client aware that maintenance is key
This client opted for our Silver Service, which provides:
- 4 annual visits per year (Scheduled or Call-out)
- 4 hour remote service (Phone or System log in)
