The outdoor rooms of a great property deserve the same engineering as the interior ones. Regent5 designs and installs outdoor televisions, projection setups, landscape audio, and property-wide WiFi across the San Francisco Bay Area, and because we are a C10 electrical and C7 low voltage licensed contractor, CSLB 1033103, the weatherized power, buried wiring, and conduit underneath it all are engineered by the same team.
An indoor television on a patio dies young; purpose-built outdoor displays are a different machine. We install Samsung The Terrace, QLED displays engineered for outdoor brightness with anti-glare screens in full sun and partial sun models, and SunBrite outdoor televisions, built for the outdoors since 2004 across full shade through full sun series. At the summit of the category we install C SEED, the Austrian maker of unfolding 4K MicroLED outdoor televisions up to 201 inches that rise from the landscape on command and fold away when the evening ends. Matching the display's sun rating to where it will actually live is the design decision most installations get wrong, and it is the first thing we assess on site. Mounting is specified to the space: static on wall, motorized, or rotating mounts that turn the display toward the pool, the outdoor kitchen, or the fire pit, all fed by weatherized power and conduit installed under our electrical license.
For the nights that call for something bigger than a television, we design outdoor projector and screen setups sized to the space: the projection geometry planned for the seating, the screen placed where evening light allows the image to hold, audio designed for open air, and the equipment housed and powered so setup does not become a chore that ends the tradition by August. And the outdoor cinema does not have to be permanent: we set up outdoor entertainment for a single party or event, and we build permanent outdoor rooms designed to host every summer for decades. Either way the system integrates with the home's control, so movie night starts from the same app that dims the landscape lighting behind it.
Great outdoor sound is many discreet speakers playing quietly, not two loud boxes on the back wall. Coastal Source is our most premium outdoor audio line, and its range covers the whole spectrum: Bollard speakers layered through planting beds, slim Razor speakers that mount to the architecture, directional Contour speakers for patios and dining terraces, below grade and bollard subwoofers carrying the low end, and at the summit the 12.0 Line Source, a ground plane line array that delivers reference level sound across an entire property. Every connection rides Coastal Source's patented Plug and Play system, built marine grade for decades outdoors. We complete the palette with James Loudspeaker, Focal, and Sonance where the design calls for them, and every system is voiced so coverage is even at volumes that carry conversation rather than fighting it, with the property line staying quiet for the neighbors. Zones are controlled from the same system as the rest of the home, so the garden joins the evening scene and goes silent with the goodnight command.
Everything outdoors rides the network: streaming to the outdoor displays, music to the garden, cameras at the gate, the intercom at the door, and the phone in your guest's hand at the pool. We design outdoor WiFi with outdoor rated access points from Ruckus, Cisco Meraki, and UniFi, placed by coverage design rather than hope, fed by a hardwired backbone in buried conduit with burial rated cabling and weatherized power. The result is the same fast, reliable network at the pool house as in the study, engineered once and serviceable for decades. Start with the design questionnaire on our smart home planning guide, or contact us to walk the property.
Every outdoor entertainment and WiFi system stands on infrastructure that has to exist before the first speaker plays: trenching and buried conduit routed with the landscape plan, dedicated weatherized circuits for displays, amplifiers, and equipment enclosures, GFCI protection where code demands it, subpanel capacity where the outdoor kitchen, pool equipment, and entertainment loads add up, and structured low voltage wiring to every display, access point, camera, and gate device on the property. As a C10 electrical and C7 low voltage licensed contractor we design and install all of it under our own permits, sized not just for what you are installing today but for the conduit pull you will want in five years. It is the least glamorous part of outdoor entertainment and the reason ours keeps working.
A purpose-built outdoor television can; an indoor television in an enclosure is a compromise that usually disappoints. Samsung The Terrace and SunBrite displays are engineered for weather, temperature swings, and outdoor brightness, and paired with the right mounting and weatherized power they run for years in Bay Area conditions.
Sun ratings describe how much direct sunlight a display can handle while staying watchable and cool. A full shade model under an open sky will overheat and wash out; a full sun model under a covered patio is money spent on brightness you do not need. Matching the rating to the actual site is the core of outdoor display design, and it is the first assessment we make.
Many small speakers playing quietly beat two large ones playing loudly. Satellite speakers distributed through the landscape with buried and bollard subwoofers produce even coverage at low volume across the areas you use, and the sound falls away quickly beyond them.
With outdoor rated access points placed by coverage design, yes. Outdoor WiFi fails when it depends on an indoor router reaching through walls; it succeeds when access points are positioned for the property with a wired backbone behind them.
Yes. Outdoor displays, audio zones, and lighting integrate into Lutron, Savant, Control4, Crestron, and Vantage systems, so the outdoor rooms appear in the same app and the same scenes as the rest of the home.
