- ELV (Extra-Low Voltage)
- The low-current systems in a building — data networks, audio-visual, CCTV, access control, public address and fire alarm — that run on extra-low voltage rather than mains power. Datacore designs, installs and maintains them as a single integrator.
- Structured cabling
- A standardised, organised cabling system — to standards such as TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801 — that carries data, voice and video across a building on one common infrastructure, so any outlet can serve any service.
- Fibre optic
- Cabling that carries data as pulses of light through glass strands, giving very high bandwidth, low latency and long reach — used for backbones between floors, buildings and data centres.
- Network infrastructure
- The switches, routers, wireless access points and cabling that move data around an organisation — the foundation every other ELV and IT service runs on.
- Data centre
- A controlled facility that houses servers, storage and network equipment, with the power, cooling, cabling and physical security needed to keep them running reliably.
- CCTV / video surveillance
- Closed-circuit television: networked cameras and recording that let an organisation monitor and review activity across a site for safety and security.
- Access control
- Systems that decide who may enter which doors and areas — by card, PIN or biometrics — and keep an audit trail of every entry event.
- Public Address & Voice Alarm (PA/VA)
- Loudspeaker systems that deliver everyday announcements and, in an emergency, clear voice-evacuation messages. Life-safety PA/VA is designed to standards such as EN 54.
- Fire alarm system
- Detectors, call points, control panels and sounders that detect fire early and alert occupants; these commonly integrate with voice evacuation to standards such as EN 54.
- Audio-visual (AV)
- The displays, projectors, speakers, microphones, cameras and control systems that let people present, hear and collaborate in meeting rooms, auditoriums and public spaces.
- Video wall
- An array of tiled displays or fine-pitch LED panels that act as one large screen for control rooms, auditoriums, lobbies and digital signage.
- Digital signage
- Centrally-managed screens that show scheduled content — wayfinding, announcements, advertising — across a site from one content-management platform.
- IPTV
- Internet Protocol Television: live TV and video-on-demand delivered over a building's own data network, with centralised content management, instead of over aerials or coax.
- AV over IP
- Distributing audio and video as network data over standard IT infrastructure, so sources and displays can be matrixed flexibly across a building rather than wired point-to-point.
- Unified Communications (UC)
- Bringing voice, video, messaging and conferencing into one experience — often with room systems and BYOD connectivity so any device can join a meeting.
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
- Room and network design that lets people connect and present from their own laptop or phone — wirelessly or with a single cable.
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
- Battery-backed power that keeps critical equipment running through outages and rides through the switch to generator power.
- AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract)
- A service agreement combining scheduled preventive maintenance, proactive monitoring and response-time-backed support after a system is handed over.
