Home wiring
[1] Safety regulations for wiring installation vary widely around the world, with national, regional, and municipal rules sometimes in effect.
Multiple-unit dwellings, such as condominiums and apartment houses, may have added complexity in distributing services within the building.
Common services include: Power points (wall outlets) Light fixtures and switches Telephone Internet Television, either broadcast, cable, or satellite High-end features might include: Home theater Distributed audio Security monitoring Security CCTV Automation Energy management Power and telecommunication services generally require entry points into the home and a location for connection equipment.
For electric power supply, a cable is run either overhead or underground into a distribution board in the home.
A distribution board, or circuit breaker panel, is typically a metal box mounted on a wall of the home.

Often a home will have telephone outlets in the kitchen, study, living room or bedrooms for convenience.
The cabling is typically installed as a daisy chain starting from the point where the telephone company connects to the home or outlets may each be wired back to the entrance.
Cable modems are typically installed in location where there is an existing Pay TV service outlet.
In all three cases, the equipment supplied by the Internet provider will have a connection to the computers installed in the building.
The cable is terminated on a television outlets, typically an F connector mounted on a face plate.
In many cases Pay TV services also require a telephone point to access movies on demand.
The simplest layout for a home theater system is a single piece of furniture containing all one's AV equipment, which simplifies wiring.
Several different cabling systems are commonly used for this application, including HDMI, DVI, and VGA.
The siren and strobe light are typically installed outside the front of the house where it can be seen from the street and is protected from the weather.
This is critical, if the wiring is not correct the system may not communicate back to base when an intrusion is detected.
All cabling from the code pad, siren and strobe light and motion detectors needs to be run out from the main equipment.
It is also recommended that the cabling to each code pad, motion detector are individual runs from the main equipment to the device.
By having each device individually connected to the main equipment is facilitates maintenance and allows for more effective monitoring.
'====Cabling for IP Based systems==== Like the traditional equipment the IP based systems require as a minimum The difference here is the cabling to connect the main equipment is either Cat 5 or Cat 6 and it is installed as part of the data cabling of the home.
See this article the section titled "Data network cabling" This is becoming more sought after in private home as an additional level of security.
That is you can cable to as many locations as you want and have it terminate on a data outlet near where you may be planning to add devices at a later stage.
Smart plugs or switches can be used to connected the major appliances to the electricity supply and the home energy management system will wirelessly control them.
