Just a wee reminder that we do lots of home cinema, large screen and projector installations for homes and businesses across Scotland. These installations usually take a bit more time and care to ensure they're set up correctly for optimal viewing.

If you'd like your viewing upgraded before the World Cup starts, please get in touch soon while we've got time to get you booked in. We've seen some screens and equipment go out of stock as they're getting bought up ahead of the World Cup starting so get in touch soon! ⚽

Why are our OwlView CCTV cameras so popular?

Image quality at night is where many cameras struggle. That's where Uniview OwlView technology stands out.

✅ Full-colour images in extremely low light – even when other cameras have switched to black and white.
✅ Larger image sensors capture significantly more light, providing clearer footage and better detail when it matters most.
✅ Improved identification of people, vehicles, clothing colours and other important details that can be missed on standard cameras.
✅ Advanced AI features help reduce false alarms by distinguishing between people, vehicles and other movement.
✅ Professional-grade reliability trusted by installers and security professionals worldwide.

The result? Better evidence, better security and greater peace of mind.
If you're investing in a CCTV system, don't just compare megapixels. The ability to see clear, usable colour footage at night can make all the difference.

Thinking about upgrading your CCTV system? Get in touch with us to see the difference a great camera can make.

Ever wondered why your WiFi slows down at certain times?

Think of your internet like this motorway…
When there are only a few cars on the road, traffic flows smoothly and everyone gets where they need to go quickly. But when hundreds of cars try to use the same road at the same time, congestion builds up, everything slows down, and frustration kicks in.

Your WiFi works exactly the same way.
Every phone, TV, laptop, smart device, CCTV camera and games console in your home is competing for space on your network. The more devices connected — especially with poor coverage or outdated equipment — the more “traffic jams” your WiFi experiences.

That’s why buffering TVs, laggy Zoom calls and slow downloads often aren’t caused by your broadband speed alone… it’s usually network congestion inside the property.
We design WiFi systems to keep traffic flowing smoothly with:
✅ Proper WiFi coverage
✅ Commercial-grade networking equipment
✅ hard wired access points
✅ Correct device management
✅ Faster, more reliable performance throughout your home or business
Don’t let your WiFi sit in traffic. 🚘📡

We're really lucky in that we get to see some beautiful buildings in our line of work and it's amazing seeing some of the detail that is barely visible from the street. Isn't this fantastic?

Ever wondered why one street in central Edinburgh can get ultra-fast fibre broadband while the next street can’t?

In the city centre, broadband installation is heavily affected by old underground infrastructure, listed buildings, blocked ducting, shared access issues and conservation restrictions. Even neighbouring properties can have completely different options available.

That’s why Starlink is becoming a great alternative for many homes and businesses.

Instead of relying on underground fibre cables, Starlink uses low-earth-orbit satellites to deliver high-speed internet almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky — perfect for properties where fibre isn’t available.

Here we've installed a Starlink system right in the heart of Edinburgh which supplies 2 flats and the client now gets superfast broadband where they only had dial up speeds before.

If you need superfast broadband and you're not sure how to get it installed, get in touch and we can help! ☎
