Tavern 1757 - Bar / Restaurant Audio & Video System
Challenge
Commercial A/V and Security Cameras, rentable conference rooms
This project centers around a historic home located in Seymour, Connecticut and originally built in 1757. The new owner was in the process of renovating the space into a restaurant. Completely remodeling it with all the modern amenities, but keeping the historic look and feel of the building. SMARTHOME was called in the construction phase of the project to install the following modern day technology and blending it into this historic building:
- Security Cameras to provide adequate coverage for patrons as well as their staff
- Professional Production Grade Video Cameras in the kitchen
- AV System throughout the restaurant, outside patio and upstairs event/conference room
Solution
OUR SOLUTION:
We designed a security system that contains cameras at the back kitchen door to document deliveries; all patron areas to protect against claims including front and side doors, patio, restaurant, the stairwell and the event room. Cameras over registers, the bar and the back of the house help protect the owner as well as the staff from claims of misuse.
The owner was very entrepreneurial and forward thinking. He was always looking for ways to maximize his business and thought with the growth of the Food and Cooking Channels, he might want to produce a local cooking show at his restaurant. He asked us to wire the kitchen for professional video cameras in the event he moved forward with that project in the future.
Outside, we installed on the wall speakers for the patio dining area.
Upstairs, there was a very large event room which could be used as one large room or could be broken down into 3 smaller rooms. We wired the space for multiple projectors, retractable screens and on the wall controls giving this room the flexibility to run one event or up to three events at a time.
Since this was a large job, we were able to compartmentalize the components of the project to finish one area at a time. This not only helped the owner with his budget but helped us in coordinating time tables with the other construction workers on the job and to stay on time.
