A business acquaintance called us a few days ago with an emergency. Someone he knew contracted a video security installer to put in a 4 camera surveillance system and a remote contol door lock. The video eqipment was purchased at one of the big box stores in Los Angeles and the hardware for the door was purchased at a hardware store. The price to install the equipment was extremely inexpensive. After waiting over 3 weeks just to get the job started, there was nothing but trouble once the installation got started. There were many holes made in the walls, cable visable where it should have been hidden and worst of all the frame of the door was ruined. The first thing we did was return all the cheap equipment. Than we went in and reinstalled the video cable, patched the holes in the walls and set up the camera system to the proper specs. We also set up the door with an intercom and door release so the customer could control who he let in his store. When choosing a video installer do your homework. If the price is to good to be true it probably is and it will end up costing more in the long run.
