Testimonials
"Working with ECSAV is always a smooth and professional experience from start to finish. From large scale fully integrated design and installation to individual specific requirements the process is handled efficiently and with clear communication throughout. The quality of the work and end result always meets our clients expectations and I’d definitely recommend ECSAV to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality service."
"ECSAV installed our audio visual system back in 2015, and we’ve worked together ever since. The initial installation was seamless, and what’s really stood out is the ongoing support, any issues we have always been dealt with quickly and efficiently, and the annual servicing keeps everything running perfectly. It’s reassuring to have someone so reliable and knowledgeable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
"We recently worked with ECSAV on a full upgrade to the lighting, blinds, Wi-Fi, and security in our home.
From the start, ECSAV were brilliant to deal with. They listened carefully to what we wanted, gave helpful advice, and made the whole process feel straightforward. Nothing felt overcomplicated, and they clearly cared about getting everything right.
The new lighting has made a huge difference to the feel of the house. The rooms look cleaner, warmer, and much more inviting, and the different lighting settings are so easy to use. The electric blinds work beautifully, and the Wi-Fi and security system have made the house feel more reliable, comfortable, and secure.
The work was carried out to a really high standard. Everything was neat and tidy, the team were professional throughout, and they took the time to show us how everything worked before they left.
We are absolutely delighted with the finished result and would happily recommend ECSAV to anyone looking to improve their home with better lighting, blinds, Wi-Fi, or security"
Case Studies
The Brief
​
The client was renovating a private residence in Streatham, South London, and wanted the home technology to be planned properly from the start. The project needed to bring together lighting, window treatments, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control, AV wiring, Sonos audio, and garden entertainment into a single coordinated installation.
The aim was to create a home that felt refined and easy to use day to day, while ensuring the underlying cabling, network, and control systems were robust enough to support modern connected living.
​
Our Solution
​
ECSAV designed and specified a complete home technology package covering both the visible finishes and the hidden infrastructure.
The lighting design included a large number of high-CRI trimless recessed downlights, snoot downlights and LED strip lighting, supported by dedicated lighting design and drawings. The proposed lighting package included 75 trimless 10W 3000K 97CRI downlights, 7 trimless snoot downlights, 22 trimless 7W downlights and 14 metres of LED strip in aluminium profile with diffusers.
To make the lighting simple to control, ECSAV specified a Lutron RA3 system, including RA3 processors, hybrid dimmer keypads in a metal finish, in-line trailing-edge dimmers, Pico controls, an occupancy sensor, and Lutron programming.
The scheme also included Lutron Sivoia QS Palladiom wire-free roller blinds for the kitchen and dressing room, with different fabric choices for privacy, daylight control and blackout requirements.

Infrastructure and wiring
​
A key part of the project was making sure the wiring was in place before final finishes. ECSAV specified smart TV outlets, Sonos player outlets, Wi-Fi outlets and network points across the living room, kitchen/dining area, utility, master bedroom, snug, dressing room and loft.
External infrastructure was also included, with network outlets for the heat pump and solar, an external Wi-Fi outlet, eight external speaker points and incoming ISP works. The garden room was connected back to the main house with a steel-wired armoured CAT6 feed, along with its own smart TV outlet, six network outlets and Wi-Fi outlet.
This meant the property was not just fitted with devices but also prepared with the right infrastructure to support reliable performance throughout the house, garden and outbuilding.
​
Network, CCTV and access control
​
For the network and security system, ECSAV specified a UniFi-based package covering Wi-Fi, switching, CCTV recording and access control.
The hardware proposal included UniFi AI Turret cameras, a UniFi AI Pro camera with AI Enhancer, a G4 Doorbell Pro PoE kit, U7 Pro XG access points, a U7 Pro Outdoor access point, a Dream Machine Pro, a 16TB hard drive, Pro 24 PoE switches, a Pro 24 switch, rack hardware, cabling and commissioning.
This gave the property a professional-grade network foundation, with strong Wi-Fi coverage, PoE switching, local CCTV storage, and smart access control, all planned as a single system.
​
Audio and garden entertainment
​
ECSAV also specified audio for both inside and outside the home.
For the garden, the proposal included two Sonance Patio 4.1 systems with DSP 2-150 MKIII amplifiers, ground stakes, IP68-rated cable jointing boxes, outdoor speaker cable and commissioning.
For internal music, the Sonos package included an Era 300 immersive music set, an Era 100 two-room set, wall mounts, two Sonos Ports and setup of the Sonos players.
The result was a flexible audio system that covered everyday indoor listening and higher-performance outdoor music in the garden.
​
The result
​
The Streatham project demonstrates ECSAV’s ability to deliver a complete technology package for a modern residential renovation.
Rather than treating lighting, Wi-Fi, CCTV, blinds, and audio as separate systems, ECSAV planned them as a single coordinated installation. The result was a home with elegant lighting control, automated blinds, reliable network infrastructure, integrated security, multi-room audio and garden entertainment — all supported by structured cabling, drawings, programming and commissioning.
The homeowner gained a property that is easier to live in, better connected and ready for future upgrades.

​The Brief
​
The client required a flexible home entertainment system that would allow TV, music and control functionality to be integrated throughout the property. The system needed to support a basement TV room, ground-floor living spaces, kitchen, and front room, while maintaining a clean finish suitable for a high-end residential interior.
A key part of the brief was to ensure the technology was simple for the client to operate, with centralised control and a robust network infrastructure to support the wider home.
​
Our Solution
​
ECSAV designed and specified a complete AV and network package, including detailed working drawings and wiring schedules to support installation.
The basement TV room was equipped with a large Smart TV, discreet cinema speakers, a subwoofer, music-streaming amplification, and AV equipment to create a dedicated entertainment space. The ground-floor back room included a Smart TV, discreet ceiling speakers, music-streaming amplification, and AV equipment.
For music throughout the home, ECSAV specified discreet architectural speakers across the kitchen, front room and other living areas, allowing the client to enjoy high-quality audio in multiple spaces.
A centralised video distribution and control system was included, with iPad-based control providing a simple and intuitive way to operate it. The home network was supported by multiple wireless access points and a dedicated network switch, helping deliver strong, reliable connectivity throughout the property.

The Brief
​
The property needed a more robust and scalable network to support modern connected living, CCTV, and reliable Wi-Fi throughout the main house and surrounding buildings.
Coverage was required across a wide range of spaces, including the living room, landing, utility room, kitchen, games room, loft, greenhouse, garage, pool house, and workshop. The system was designed using UniFi switches and U7 Pro XG access points positioned throughout these areas.
​
Our Solution
​
We designed a complete UniFi network built around performance, reliability, and future expansion.
At the heart of the system, we specified a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro Max and a UniFi Pro Max 16 PoE switch, with additional UniFi Switch Pro 8 PoE units in key locations around the property. This allowed us to distribute network connectivity efficiently across the building and outbuildings while supporting access points, cameras, and connected systems.
For wireless coverage, we specified multiple UniFi U7 Pro XG access points throughout the main house and surrounding areas, delivering strong Wi-Fi performance where it was needed most.
A dedicated rack solution was also included, with a 12U wall-mounted rack, UniFi rack panels, patch panel, Cat6 keystone hardware, PDU, shelf, and premium UniFi patch leads to keep the installation neat, serviceable, and professionally organised.
​
What We Installed
​
UniFi Network Infrastructure
A new UniFi network core using a Dream Machine Pro Max, PoE switching, and managed distribution across the property.
High-Performance Wi-Fi
Multiple UniFi U7 Pro XG access points positioned to provide strong coverage throughout the home and key outbuildings.
CCTV Recording Infrastructure
A UniFi Network Video Recorder Pro with 24TB storage, designed to support recording for up to 10 x 4K cameras.
PoE Switching Across the Property
UniFi PoE switches installed in key areas, including the landing, utility room, kitchen, greenhouse, garage, pool house, and workshop.
Professional Rack Installation
A clean rack setup with patching, power distribution, rack panels, keystone hardware, and premium patch cables.
​
The Result
​
The finished system provides the Oxfordshire Project with a strong, professionally designed network foundation capable of supporting fast Wi-Fi, CCTV, smart technology, and future upgrades.
By using UniFi throughout the property, the client benefits from a scalable system that is easier to manage, monitor, expand, and support over time. The installation also provides a clean and organised infrastructure, making future maintenance and additions much simpler.
