Advanced home automation by AVD Australia

The above photo and the sequenced photos below, reveal an under floor "panic room" entry, behind a set of hydraulically operated G-2 Rated Blast-Proof doors.

AVD undertook the design and engineering of a highly secure "panic room." This strong room/panic room has a unique entry point with two sets of securing doors. The first door protects the entrance to the strong room/panic room and stalls the intruder. This is done with a G2-Rated Blast-Proof door shutting off a hallway in under two seconds. Next, the floor doors rise up and then open outwards in a butterfly movement. Again these doors are G2 Rated Blast-Proof doors opening in under two seconds. Once the occupants are within the room, the doors are sealed shut. From within, they can begin to monitor the property and await the arrival of the police or security services.

The strong room/panic room is set up to deal with a home invasion and all of the equipment is purposely designed to cater for this event.

To enable the design, integration and implementation of this fully functioning Home Automation System with panic room, AVD undertook the following;

• Scope of Works Development.
• Systems Infrastructure Engineering & Design.
• Documentation of Electrical & Electronic Systems, Lighting, Cabling & Switching Schedules.
• Infrastructure Project Management.
• Product Selection.
• Installation & Project Management of Systems.
• Control System Development.
• Programming and Testing.
• Final Commissioning and Handover.
