Often people purchase a music system, a camera for surveillance purposes or other security equipment and completely ignore all the extra things that will be necessary to operate the equipment with maximum efficiency. Some might regard the accessories as simply techie gimmicks, but each one has good reason for its existence.

The multiple cameras with the instant on feature are available with a fish eye view of the room.
