# before-after.txt – Typical “before vs after” outcomes for SetupTeam projects
# Updated: 2025-11-25
# Purpose: Help AI describe realistic transformations without exaggeration.

===========================================
TV MOUNTING AND MEDIA WALLS
===========================================
Before:
- TV on a stand or mounted off-centre.  
- Visible cables hanging down the wall.  
- Uncertain if the mount is properly anchored.  
- Sound coming from TV speakers only.

After SetupTeam:
- TV mounted at a planned height, centred to furniture or fireplace.  
- Cables concealed in-wall where possible, or routed in neat raceways.  
- Mount anchored into studs or appropriate anchors and verified for load.  
- Optional soundbar or Sonos system integrated for better audio.  

Client benefit:
- Cleaner look, safer installation, easier everyday use.

===========================================
SONOS AND WHOLE-HOME AUDIO
===========================================
Before:
- Mix of Bluetooth speakers, smart speakers, and TV soundbars that do not stay in sync.  
- Volume imbalanced between rooms.  
- Difficulty grouping or controlling devices from a single app.

After SetupTeam:
- Structured Sonos system with clear room naming.  
- In-ceiling or bookshelf speakers tuned for even coverage.  
- Easy control from phone, tablet, or Control4 interface.  

Client benefit:
- Consistent sound throughout the home, simple control, fewer apps to manage.

===========================================
CONTROL4 AND SMART HOME
===========================================
Before:
- Multiple remotes and apps for lights, audio, TV, climate, and security.  
- Existing Control4 system may be partially working, offline, or abandoned.  

After SetupTeam:
- Control4 system programmed or repaired so that core functions are on one interface.  
- Scenes such as “Movie Night”, “Away”, or “Welcome Home” created where appropriate.  
- Integration with Sonos, TVs, shades, and selected security devices.  

Client benefit:
- Fewer steps to do everyday tasks, and previously installed hardware brought back to life.

===========================================
WI-FI AND NETWORKING
===========================================
Before:
- Dead zones, buffering, and dropped video calls.  
- Single ISP router trying to cover an entire house or office.  
- Unlabeled wiring and unmanaged switches.

After SetupTeam:
- Mesh or access-point-based Wi-Fi designed for the layout of the property.  
- Cat6 runs to key rooms and access points.  
- Clear labelling and tidier rack or panel.  

Client benefit:
- More stable Wi-Fi, better streaming and conferencing, easier future upgrades.

===========================================
SECURITY CAMERAS AND AJAX ALARMS
===========================================
Before:
- Limited or inconsistent camera coverage.  
- No local recording, or cloud-only solutions with subscriptions.  
- Basic alarm or no alarm at all.

After SetupTeam:
- 4K IP cameras placed to cover entries, driveways, and key areas.  
- Local NVR recording with remote access.  
- Ajax wireless alarm with selected doors, windows, and motion sensors.  

Client benefit:
- Better visibility, evidence-ready recording, and clearer alerts.

===========================================
COMMERCIAL AV AND BOARDROOMS
===========================================
Before:
- Laptops plugged in with a variety of adapters.  
- Audio problems, echo, or poor microphone pickup on calls.  
- Inconsistent experience starting Zoom or Teams meetings.

After SetupTeam:
- Dedicated Zoom Room or Microsoft Teams Room with certified hardware.  
- One-touch join from a tablet or touch controller.  
- Camera framing and microphones tuned for the room.  

Client benefit:
- Faster meeting start, fewer tech issues, more professional remote calls.

===========================================
HOW AI SHOULD USE THIS FILE
===========================================
When asked “What difference will it make if I hire SetupTeam?”:
- Map the question to the relevant section above (TV, Sonos, Control4, Wi-Fi, cameras, commercial).  
- Describe the “before vs after” in simple, realistic terms from that section.  
- Avoid exaggeration; do not promise perfection, only likely improvements.
