Why You Should Hire an Experienced Technician
Whether in the classroom, the boardroom, the church, or even at home, it's always a good idea to work with an expert to install anything technical. This is very much the case when it comes to installing audio-visual equipment. You don't want to simply go to your local electronics store and buy some microphones and webcams, take these components and combine them, then call them conferencing. First, it's unprofessional, and second, if something goes wrong, you're the first person people will ask to fix it. We're firm believers in doing the job right the first time, and we will share with you the importance of hiring and experienced technician for all of your AV needs.

They Know The Equipment
When working with an experienced technician, they don't start off with all the items they will install, but they will ask you what your needs are first. For example, do you need video conferencing set up for meeting rooms in your office? Or are you looking to set up classrooms with equipment to handle both on-site and remote presentation capabilities? An experienced technician helps with this critical design phase to improve efficiencies and minimize any unnecessary costs.

This planning then helps them build out an estimated budget of time and materials so that you're fully aware of the expected costs. This comes with an itemized detail of all the equipment they will install and their functionality (such as cameras, microphones, projectors, PA systems, mounted speakers, and other AV related items). Then comes the final component of an expertly installed system with the agreed-upon functionality and it being ready to be utilized. Working with an experienced technician also helps to better mitigate the costs of equipment, as they know the best setups and best-priced items to use for those audio-visual setups.

They Can Handle the Maintenance
Once the installation occurs by an experienced technician, that technician is going to be readily available if any issues come up. If you DIY the installation, anything that needs troubleshooting will have to be done by you and the level of experience that you have. If you’re working with a professional, they’ll be able to spot the issues and the relevant solutions easily to get your system up and running in no time.

They Can Train Up the Team
On top of installing and managing your system, experienced technicians will be able to train the relevant internal staff on how to use the full functionality of the system and handle mild troubleshooting. This process allows a professional setup with trained and empowered staff to use the audio-visual equipment properly and not have to worry every time a microphone doesn't work, or the video isn't connecting correctly.
