In Part 1 of this two-part series on networked AV devices, Jonathan and David covered the different applications and shared some best practices when implementing a networked AV system. This Part 2 episode focuses on the benefits of connecting AV devices to a central network to save operational costs for a business and improve user experience and utilization.

We address the benefits in three distinct categories:

• Remote monitoring and management. Now more cost-effective than ever and can help reduce AV support and maintenance costs through a proactive approach.
• Collecting and analyzing data. Use the information to make tweaks and adjustments to improve user experience and utilization rates.
• Keeping your AV devices up to date. Ensure the firmware and security patches are current and you use the latest features and functionality upgrades.
