At the age of 15, I remember sitting in the middle of Commerce Class where the substitute teacher taught us a phrase that would shape the way we buy goods and services: \u201cCaveat Emptor\u201d. A Latin phrase that means \u201clet the buyer beware\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was soft an easy in retail stores to see when there\u2019s something wrong with what you\u2019ve purchased. For example, a shirt not fitting properly, or your appliance not turning on. With technology systems, these issues don\u2019t often show themselves straight away. One bad cable can make an entire system turn sour. Actually, people fear public speaking more than death. Now, imagine presenting in front of 400 people with your audio systems<\/a> cutting off halfway, or your projector turning off. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to ensure that AV system<\/a> is not only thoroughly checked by the Builder, or an AV installer<\/a>, but peer-reviewed by the AV consultant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite living in a house my entire life, when my wife and I had our first home built, we found it quite difficult to identify the significant defects with our house. Primarily because we weren\u2019t familiar with the Building Codes and Standards. Whilst we could tell some things weren\u2019t quite right, it wasn\u2019t until we had a building inspector have a look at our concerns where we able to see what was an issue and what was normal. Having a person familiar with the standards in place, put our minds at ease knowing we had identified the actual problems for our long-term investment.<\/p>\n

Lastly, AV systems<\/a> are always the last thing installed at any site. This means any delays from the electrician and builders results in shortened installation times for the AV contractor<\/a>. In order to meet demanding timelines, sometimes installers take short cuts. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have someone intimately familiar with the design to ensure no short cuts are made. Multiple times in the past we\u2019ve had installers placed cheaper equipment on site despite charging for the more expensive equipment simply because it was faster to do so.<\/p>\n

In summary, remember technology issues aren\u2019t always apparent straight away. With Audio-Visual systems<\/a>, it\u2019s important to get an independent expert to check the system before final handover and make sure they\u2019ve checked no short cuts have been made.<\/p>\n

Here at konnectus, we\u2019re not just about designing robust technology systems. We\u2019re also about ensuring you\u2019re protected during the installation. Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
