At Birkdale Smart Home, we aim to simplify Home Automation. This includes recognising where some products are simply unnecessary. Although distributed Audio & Visual did at one time have it's uses, we believe this to no longer be the case. With the improvement of streaming devices (Amazon Fire Sticks, Apple TVs etc.) and Smart TVs, any room can now have it's own, independent feed, choosing anything from Live TV to streaming services, for a much lower cost and a much easier install and high quality audio can be achieved with AirPlay or Chromecast compatible speakers.
