How we work

Three things we do on every install.

The technology changes. The methodology doesn't. Whether it's a home theater, a security camera system, or a whole-home automation build, the same three principles apply.

01 / BUILT

Properly, the first time.

No shortcuts on the wiring. No band-aids on the configuration. The work gets done the way it should be done, with the right hardware for the job — not the cheapest hardware that will technically fit.

02 / NETWORKED

On a foundation that holds.

Every system needs a network underneath it. We design and install proper networking — managed switching, segmented VLANs, real WiFi coverage — so the technology you spent good money on actually works the way it was sold to you.

03 / SECURED

And documented for the long run.

Configurations get backed up. Credentials get stored properly. Network diagrams get drawn. When something needs to change two years from now, we don't start from scratch — and neither would the next person who touches it.

What we do

Six things we install. One way we install them.

Most of our customers need more than one of these. The advantage of working with us is that one team handles all of it — the home theater, the network it runs on, and the automation that ties it together.

Smart Home Automation

Whole-home automation built on real platforms, not vendor-locked apps. Lights, locks, climate, fans, scenes, and voice control — designed so it still works five years from now, after the company that made the app gets acquired.

Includes: Home Assistant · Z-Wave · Zigbee · Matter · Smart locks · Smart lighting · Ceiling fans · Thermostats · Scene control · Voice integration

Custom AV & Home Theater

From a properly mounted living room TV to a fully designed home theater. Surround sound, in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, projector systems, multi-room audio — wired and calibrated by someone who's been doing it since before the streaming era.

Includes: TV mounting · Surround sound · In-ceiling speakers · Home theaters · Projection systems · Multi-room audio · AV racks · Universal remotes

Networking & Infrastructure

The foundation everything else runs on. Properly designed home networks with managed switching, real WiFi coverage (not a single router shoved in a corner), VLAN segmentation for security, and remote access done the right way.

Includes: Network design · Cat6 cabling · Managed switches · WiFi access points · VLAN segmentation · Firewalls · Remote access · Network documentation

Security & Cameras

POE camera systems with local recording and proper notifications. Smart locks integrated with the rest of the home. Driveway alerts, package detection, and night vision that actually works. No monthly cloud fees required.

Includes: POE cameras · Local NVR · Smart locks · Doorbells · Motion sensors · Driveway alerts · Mobile alerts · Night vision systems

IT Services

Small business and residential IT — workstations, servers, backups, email, file sharing. Especially valuable for the small businesses we serve, where the same person who set up your network also handles the computers that run on it.

Includes: Workstation setup · Server installs · Backup systems · Email · File sharing · Printer config · Remote support · Small business IT

Computer Repair & Support

For our network and IT customers — when the desktop won't boot, the laptop is full of malware, or the office printer hasn't worked in three months. Available as a supporting service, not a walk-in shop.

Includes: Diagnostics · OS issues · Hardware repair · Malware removal · Data recovery · Performance tuning · Printer troubleshooting
About Installs IT

Every install starts with a network.
Every network gets documented.
Every device gets a backup plan.

Installs IT Inc. has been wiring Metro Detroit homes since 2010. For most of that time, that meant home theater, surround sound, TV installs, networks, and computer work — the residential technology that got installed before "smart home" meant anything serious.

The technology evolved. We evolved with it. Today, the work spans whole-home automation, prosumer networking, security camera systems, custom AV, and small-business IT — all under one roof, all installed to the same standard.

The advantage of fifteen years of low-voltage, network, and AV installation experience isn't a marketing line — it's why your TV mount is straight, your network actually reaches the back bedroom, and your automation still works after the power blinks. We've been doing this long enough to know what fails, why it fails, and how to install things so they don't.

One person owns every project from quote to install to support. No subcontractors. No bait-and-switch. The person who designs the system is the person who installs it, and the person you call when you have a question two years later.

Recent work

A whole-home build in Metro Detroit.

A current project demonstrating the full Installs IT methodology — automation, networking, security, and AV designed and installed as a single system.

Custom whole-home automation, network & security platform.

A multi-thousand-square-foot residence in Metro Detroit, designed as a single integrated system rather than a collection of standalone gadgets. The network was designed first — segmented VLANs for management, IoT, security, and guest traffic — then automation, lighting, locks, climate, and a POE camera system were layered on top.

Every device is documented. Every configuration is backed up offsite. The customer has a single mobile app to control the entire house and a single phone number to call if anything ever needs attention.
