Clipsal StarServe is here to serve you
A Clipsal Starserve Home Network expands on basic home wiring to deliver a dynamic entertainment and communications system. Starserve lets you network TVS, phones and computer systems throughout the house. You can even keep an eye on children from another room or see who is at the door using your TV.
All this is possible thanks to cutting edge electronics that Clipsal Starserve has adapted for everyday use in your home. It’s easy, convenient, and now available at a surprisingly affordable price. The system will continue to save you money too. For instance, the ability to network Pay TV, a VCR and satellite receivers throughout your home can be done at the fraction of the cost of purchasing components for each television.
If you are buying or building a new house it’s worth keeping in mind that you can ask your builder to pre-wire for the Clipsal Starserve Home Network too. That way it can always be installed later on. It’s called “future-proofing”.
Nowadays there are plenty of qualified installers who can provide you with estimates and tell you how it all works.

Make your home the entertainment centre
Ducted air conditioning, now common, was once only in the homes of the rich and famous. Like wise, networked entertainment systems are now becoming affordable for everyone because of the introduction of Starserve.
The average Australian home can have two or even three televisions. Add to that the complications of multiple VCRs, Pay TV boxes, DVDs, and the Internet and it soon becomes unmanageable.
Starserve streamlines the system by linking everything in every room together. Even with a basic system you can link a single VCR, Pay TV box and DVD to all of your TVs. It means you can replace the need for duplicate equipment, complex connections and over wiring with Starserve’s simple in-wall system. You can save money by avoiding the need for duplicate equipment too.
The system also allows for antenna or cable signals which can be passed through a commercial grade amplifier to ensure the best picture quality. And with the optional Infra-red System you get even better control. For instance, even if the equipment is in another room, you can control the video or DVD from whatever TV you happen to be sitting at.
Extra safety and security
With Clipsal surveillance cameras connected to StarServe you can keep an eye on the children or see who’s outside by turning to a particular channel on your TV.
Surveillance cameras are easily added to StarServe and can be installed under eaves. Different models feature black and white or colour formats with or without sound.
But whatever you choose you can be sure the cameras are discreet, unobtrusive and guaranteed to give you peace of mind.
What is future-proofing?
By installing StarServe now you will find major advantages in terms of cost and ease of installing new technology today and in the future. If considered during the planning phase of a new home, StarServe can give it the ability to easily install new services in the future. What’s more, you can begin with a relatively simple system and add new services to it whenever you want. That’s why it’s called future-proofing. It’s also proof that Starserve is a great investment.
Networking computer and communication technology
For those with a home computer or fax machine, waiting for an uninterrupted phone line can be frustrating. But Starserve will solve the problem.
For each room wired to the Starserve network you get four clear lines to communicate through. Best of all, the lines are crystal clear and unaffected by cross-talk.
It’s easy and adds a cost-effective data network too. This allows you to upgrade and network your computers together with any of its shared hardware, like printers and scanners. Imagine working on your laptop in bed and printing in your home office without moving. Now that’s progress!
In short, Starserve puts modern cabling in your home to provide for high speed data networks that will see you well into the future.
Clipsal Starserve makes life easier
Starserve gets the most out of today’s technology by integrating everything at once. Which means it has more to do with putting your feet up than keeping up appearances. By simplifying the systems in your home you can surf the Internet, send e-mail, watch a movie or find out who’s at the door from the comfort of your armchair.
You don’t have to be a technical whiz to have the Starserve system either. It simply works behind the scenes so that you can get the most out of the technology you already have.
Clipsal Starserve is easy on the pocket
Just because rich and famous people have future-proofed homes, it doesn’t mean you need to be a millionaire to have Starserve. Most people who discuss Starserve with their builders find that it is a relatively small cost when compared to the cost of building a new home.
Furthermore, thousands of building approvals each week mean that people are moving with the times faster than ever. So when it comes to buying and selling, future-proofed homes are fast becoming hot property.
