AV Installation – Salasala in Dar Es Saalam – Tanzania

Projects

Salasala is one of the structures located in the suburb of the Commercial City of Tanzania - Dar-Es-Salaam. This is a potential area for the class that are eager to see technology not only to work in their normal working life but applied in there daily lifestyle.

The owners of this home approached us to design their smart home after knowing ITAFRICA for sometimes. With our smart home technology approach, we provided a solution to one of out client that allows him to make the most of the spaces where his life happens.

Project scope

The clients asked for an fully equipped AV solutions with smart curtains installed. These included distributed music in rooms, HD video distribution.

Solution

To bring reliability and simplicity to the home, we turned to trusted partners CasaTunes, BluStream and Ubiquiti . For the home’s curtains , we integrated a Dooya and Tuya Smart Home. This allowed both to work harmoniously together,

For the smart vacation home’s audio solutions, Polk Audio speakers are unobtrusively installed throughout the living areas as well as discreetly placed outdoors for a discreet yet immersive solution. The Polk Audio speakers are all integrated with CasaTunes audio system connected to Savant to control their audio from the same system as everything else in the home. iPads and Savant Pro Remotes are placed throughout the home so that CasaTunes audio can be selected and fine-tuned easily in any room.

No smart home is complete without a strong network to back up all of the technology solutions. In the case of this we secured the network with with firewalls, network switches, multiple access points, and VLANs for separating IoT devices from the primary network.

While all of this helps us manage, diagnose, and fix issues easily as they arise, it also helps protect the client from potential cyberattacks. Cyber threats are on the rise, especially in home networks. As this particular home is not always occupied, having a well-built and monitored network protects the homeowners data and devices, even when not in use.
