For a successful av installation, the following tips are to be remembered:
#1. Thorough knowledge about the audio/visual system: Prior to an av installation, gather thorough knowledge about the new technology and what the system can and cannot do. Besides, overall thorough knowledge about the system, one must also know in detail the functions of every component of the system that is to be installed. It is advised to go beyond the manual that is provided at the time of purchase and know how to use the technology, maintain it, and how will it benefit your business. One should have a clear understanding of what the system is supposed to do. Also, before an AV installation, follow the demonstration regarding the working procedure of the audio/visual system and how you can integrate this technology with other systems.
#2. Cable pathways: Make sure all your cables can be connected from the input sources to the video display monitor or screen. By using certain provisions like core drilling floors, under carpet cable raceways or trenching floors, you can hide the audio/visual cables running between the source and the screen. However, newer technologies allow transmission of some signals wirelessly, thus avoiding extra costs.
#3. Assess your electrical needs: Check your electrical requirements irrespective of if whether you are renovating your house, undergoing constructions or simply installing the AV. Hire an electrical professional for this purpose. They will let you know whether or not you have enough electrical power circuits (in case you have sufficient power circuits, whether their locations are proper) and enough power in your room to support your new system.
#4. Video teleconferencing set up: If you want to install a video teleconferencing system in your cabin, take help from IT staff to ensure you have a sufficient range of frequencies and the capacity to travel across firewalls. The range of frequencies available in your network is an extremely important factor to be considered while installing a video teleconferencing network else it can prove to be a party pooper if not checked properly. Also, besides confirming the required network security, it has to be set up jointly with the IT staff to prevent blocked transmissions because of firewalls.
#5. Budget and expectations: To ensure the absence of roadblocks during AV installation and that everyone's expectations remain realistic and viable, involve prospective integrators in the initial stage of planning. It is also very important to Lay the proper rough work regarding budget, bandwidth, equipment, electrical requirements and other critical components.
The above tips can help turn expectations into reality, thereby allowing users to trust in the solidity of their system.

By taking your unique and specific needs into consideration, you can customize and design suitable integrators that cater to your needs in your budget.
