Pool Safety System by Poseidon

The Poseidon Safety system uses overhead and underwater cameras to track motion and people in the pool.  When the system detects a swimmer in distress, or worse, a drowning person at the bottom of the pool, an alarm sounds and lifeguards (or parents) can be alerted with lights, alarms, alerts, or other mechanisms.

This would also be good for any pool owner to monitor activity, should a neighbour or animal fall in the pool when it's not expected to be in use.

Automatic Blinds

You know in that movie 'The Holiday' when Kate Winslet can't handle the time change in LA, because it's so bright and she wants to sleep, and then she hits a button and the blinds come down auto-magically? That.

Solar Roofing

Speakers

Every entertaining room (living, dining, library, kitchen, patio, pool area) should be wired with speakers that can either be piped in directly from that room (say from an ipod that someone connects in that room) OR from the technology room, controlling music from the file server.

There will need to be some sort of controls, but this can be over wifi, as every room will have access and be able to control the media via the network.

Technology Room

Have all the wiring, surveillance, ethernet, fibre, and other aspects of the houses technology feed a central room.  Extra cooling will be needed.

Install a file server with redundant backups, accessible from everyroom at Gigabit speeds.  Host all media in this room.

CCTV of the Wind Tunnel, an other areas of the house that need watching (pool, backyard, front door, etc) should be accessible to any TV in the house via the technology room.

Central Vac

Gigabit Internet in Every Room

Wireless Access points all over the house as well.  Every room should have excellent reception. If service permits, install FTTH at the maximum bandwidth available.

Wire the house for Fibre, Cat5 and RG45.

File Server in the 'technology room'

Indoor / Outdoor Pool

Vertical Wind Tunnel

This would need it's own 'staging area' as well, where people can store and put on their flight suits, control the tunnel, etc.

The tunnel itself should have lots of plexi-glass for viewing, and if possible, be connected to the house in such a way that people in the house can 'view' without being disturbed by the flights.

CCTV in the tunnel should be able to be piped to any TV in the house via the technology room.
