Apologies if this has been done to death but a quick search didn’t bring up a definitive answer so I thought I’d ask the question again.

I am looking to intergrate all my home audio while I am getting the house refurbished and was wondering the best way to go about it.

The house layout is a bungalow style, kitchen, 4 bed, 3 bath, 2 public and one games/cinema room.

What I’m looking to do ideally is to have the following –

Ceiling/hidden speakers in kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
7.1 in games/cinema room
5.1 in public room
CCTV 4 camera setup throughout exterior

Ideally all would be controlled from whatever AV is required stored in the store cupboard which is in the games/cinema room

The tv setup will be –
Kitchen - 55” Samsung smart
Public room 1 – 60” Samsung smart
Bedroom 1 – 42 Samsung smart
Games/cinema room – HD projector

I’m hoping I’m going to have a fairly easy job with this with it being a bungalow layout and having loft access to route all the wiring but I’m not sure where to even start with this equipment wise if i'm honest.

ETA - my broadband is registering speeds of 66Mb-78Mb if that makes anything any easier.

Thanks Vex,

I'll put that on the list for cabling certainly and some good suggestions for future proofing.

Have you had any dealings with the control4 systems? I've seen today when researching that they do an 8 zone control and 8 zone amplifier which I think would be perfect not to mention the additional bonus of lighting/power/heating control. I'm struggling to find many reviews or details about the systems though.
