Can i hide my new Antenna in the roof?
We don’t recommend hiding your antenna in the roof, as:
Tin roofs can interfere with reception
Foil insulation or reflective surfaces can make signal pickup impossible
Tile roofs may be possible, but image quality can’t be guaranteed
How do I access Digital TV?
To access Digital TV:
New TVs are usually “Digital Ready” and need to be tuned in
Older analogue TVs require a new TV or a Set Top Box (STB)
Subscription services like My Star from Austar are usually digital ready
What if my Digital Signal is poor?
If you’re experiencing poor image quality:
Contact VisComm for a TV calibration and antenna realignment
We’ll assess your current TV system and provide an onsite quote for an upgrade if needed
Why did my service become poor after getting a new TV point?
Adding new TV points can cause:
dB loss, reducing signal quality
Older homes may have poor-quality cables, antennas, and connections, making it difficult to transfer a good digital signal
In most cases, a full replacement system may be necessary to accommodate new points and the digital signal.
Should I choose a wired or wireless network?

What size should my home theater be?
The bigger and more open the space, the better the sound quality will be. This is because sound waves need room to move and dissipate. A smaller, symmetrical room can cause sound waves to bounce back and create chaos.
What should I look for when building a home theater system?
Key components include:
Voice-matched speakers: Ensure all speakers sound similar and are from the same manufacturer
Amplifier power: Choose an amplifier that can handle the speaker’s power requirements
Calibration: Ensure speakers are calibrated to work together in your room for optimal performance
What affects the cost of a home theater system?
The main factor is quality. A higher-priced system will deliver:
More dynamic performance
Higher levels of detail and realism
Effortless sound reproduction
How do I determine my budget for a home theater system?
Audition different systems to educate yourself on what makes an ideal system for you. Compare expensive and affordable systems to determine your budget and quality expectations.
I already have a home theater, but I’m worried about the sound quality. What should I do?
Don’t panic! If your room is pleasant for conversations, it’s likely fine for a home theater. You may not need to spend thousands on acoustic treatments. Consult with a professional to assess your room’s acoustics and provide personalized advice.
How many In-Wall/Ceiling Speakers do I need?
The number of speakers needed depends on the size of the space and desired sound quality. Generally:
Larger spaces benefit from 4 smaller speakers for better audio balance
Sonos Amp can power up to 4 mono ceiling speakers or 6 Sonos in-ceiling speakers
Consider independent control between rooms, which may require a separate Sonos Amp per room
What are the benefits of In-Wall Speakers?
In-wall speakers offer:
Excellent sound quality
Space-saving design
Ability to blend with interior décor
Resilience and long lifespan
Moisture-resistance for installation in bathrooms and laundry rooms
Do Different Rooms Require Different Speakers?
One size fits all doesn’t really apply to in-wall speakers because different rooms tend to be used for various types of listening. during a rec room or house, you’ll probably sit in a very specific spot to listen to music or the surround sound of a movie track at relatively high volumes. during this case, the most important, best-sounding in-wall speakers you’ll be able to afford, positioned at ear level when seated, are going to be your best bet.
A kitchen or dining room, on the opposite hand, could be a place where you would possibly want low-key sound distributed evenly throughout the space, so an array of in-wall speakers will work. Smaller areas like bathrooms or hallways, tend to be used for background audio. For rooms like these, one “stereo” dual voice coil speaker will do the trick. make certain your speakers are moisture-resistant when installing in bathrooms or laundry rooms.
Do I need a subwoofer for digital 5.1 surround sound?
If using digital 5.1 surround sound formats like Dolby Digital or DTS, a subwoofer can enhance the low-frequency effects channel. However:
Main stereo speakers with sufficient bass response can bypass the subwoofer
Surround speakers should match the sound quality, power, and efficiency of the front three speakers
What is Multi-Room Audio?
Multi-room audio allows you to control and play music in multiple rooms of your home using a single device, such as your smartphone or tablet.
What are the benefits of Multi-Room Audio?
With multi-room audio, you can:
Play music from your favorite streaming services or personal library
Control music playback in any room with connected speakers
Schedule music to play at specific times, such as waking up to music
Easily move music playback from one room to another
How many speakers can I have in a Multi-Room setup?
You can have up to 32 speakers/devices in a single network. However, performance may be affected by the number of speakers.
What are my options for Multi-Room Audio systems?
You have two main options:
Wired speakers: Higher quality and consistently produce uninterrupted sound, but may be more complicated to install.
Wireless speakers: Offer more convenience and flexibility, with easy movement and portability.
How do I choose the best Multi-Room Audio system for my home?

What is the difference between a DVR and NVR?
A DVR (Digital Video Recorder) converts analog camera footage to digital and records it on a hard drive. An NVR (Network Video Recorder) records and manages footage from digital (IP) cameras, with advanced features like AI and analytics.
What are the benefits of AI-powered surveillance?
AI-powered surveillance offers advanced features like facial recognition, object detection, intrusion detection, people counting, and heat mapping. These features enhance security, provide valuable insights, and improve overall surveillance efficiency.
How does motion detection work?
Motion detection is a software feature that detects changes in pixels when the camera captures movement. The software alerts the system to start recording, and sensitivity can be adjusted to minimize unnecessary footage.
How long can the security system store footage?
The amount of footage stored depends on the number of cameras, frame rate (FPS), and hard drive size. Our pre-configured systems can store several weeks of footage when set to motion detect mode.
Can I access my surveillance footage remotely?
Yes, with our NVR systems, you can access your surveillance footage remotely using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Do I need to install additional software for AI-powered features?
No, our NVR systems come with built-in AI-powered features, and our team will configure and optimize the system for your specific needs.
