This website provides general information about AV and low-voltage installation. It is not electrical, legal, engineering or contracting advice.
Electrical work is regulated. In most US jurisdictions running standard power cable inside a wall cavity is a code violation, and new circuits require a licensed electrician and often a permit. Requirements vary by state and municipality. Where our guidance conflicts with your local code or an inspector's determination, they are correct.
Mounting heavy equipment carries risk of serious injury and property damage. Fixings must be appropriate to the wall construction and rated for the load. If you cannot identify your wall type with confidence, engage a professional.
Security camera law varies significantly by jurisdiction, and audio recording is regulated far more strictly than video — many states require consent from all parties. Nothing here is legal advice; check the rules applying to your location and situation before installing.
Price ranges reflect publicly advertised installer pricing observed at the date shown, for budgeting only. They are not offers or quotations.
We are an information publisher and hold no contractor licence. Any installation contract is between you and your chosen installer, and we are not a party to it.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific TV, mount or equipment. Where they differ from general guidance here, the manufacturer's documentation governs.
