Commercial Audio Visual Equipment Supplier in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Backman Vidcom has supplied and installed commercial audio visual equipment for Halifax businesses since 1976. We are not an event rental company and we are not a home theatre retailer. We supply, design, install and support the AV systems that organisations depend on every working day: boardrooms, control rooms, classrooms, courtrooms, production floors and public spaces.
If you are sourcing equipment for a commercial fit out or a system upgrade, we can quote the hardware, specify the right configuration for the room, install it and support it afterwards.
What we supply
We supply commercial grade equipment from the manufacturers we install and service, so what you buy is what we can stand behind.
Meeting room & collaboration systems
Microsoft Teams Rooms, Zoom Rooms, cameras, room controllers and scheduling panels.
Audio, sound & acoustics
Distributed sound, ceiling and boundary microphones, DSP, sound masking and acoustic treatment.
Displays, projection & video walls
Commercial displays, LED video walls, large format projection and digital signage.
Command, control & monitoring
Control room video walls, monitoring displays and control system programming.
Recording, streaming & broadcasting
Lecture capture, live streaming hardware and broadcast quality production systems.
Paging, public address & mass notification
PA systems, emergency notification and intercom for schools, industrial sites and public buildings.
Supply only, or supplied & installed
Some clients know exactly what they need and want a competitive price on hardware. Others want the room to work and would rather hand over the whole problem. We do both.

How the process works
- Tell Us About The Room - Size, purpose, how many people, what has to happen in it.
- We Survey The Site - We measure and check sightlines, acoustics, power and network.
- You Get A Written Specification & Quote - Itemised equipment, installation scope and timeline.
- We Install & Commission - Cabling, mounting, configuration, testing and user training.
- We Support It - Service agreements available, with local technicians.
Do you supply equipment without installation?
Yes. If you have your own installer or in house IT team, we will quote hardware only and provide the specification so the system is configured correctly.
What is the difference between a commercial AV supplier and an event AV rental company?
Rental companies provide equipment and crew for a single event and take it away afterwards. As a commercial supplier we install permanent systems that stay in your building and are used every day, and we support them long term.
Do you work with existing consultants and architects?
Yes. We regularly quote against consultant specifications and coordinate with general contractors and electricians during fit outs.
What brands do you supply?
We supply commercial grade equipment from established manufacturers across displays, audio, control and conferencing. The right brand depends on the room, so we specify per project rather than pushing a single line.
How quickly can you quote?
Most quotes are returned within a few business days of the site visit. Urgent requirements can be prioritised, so tell us your deadline when you make contact.
Do you service equipment you did not supply?
In most cases yes. Contact us with the make and model and we will confirm.
Don’t see your question here? Get in touch directly, and we’ll get back to you the same day.
