Not all camera companies are the same! This company who is nation wide with the security they provide has been a very reputable company. Let's just say it begins with an A! You are only as good as your installers is what I say! And this right here is ridiculous. The customer paid for a pretty extensive system at there bar and this is how the genius decided to fix the camera that was leaking. Hmm let's not check the O ring for possible mis alignment OR replacing it. AND the fact that they didn't use stainless screws to install all of the cameras at a bar that is near the beach is another. UGH! Anytime I do any install outdoors I will automatically use stainless steel screws. May cost me a little bit more but it's about the quality of the installation and how it looks down the road that matters.

O.K. so not all sound companies are the same OR know what the heck they are doing either. "IF" you are building a house please do not go with the cheapest company. It will bite you in the ass down the road. If this is how they pre-wire your home have them stop and call us. This is not how it should be done! PERIOD! This right here tells me they have zero idea as to what they are doing. How will that translate to the actual install? Issues for sure. Oh and if they are wiring for volume controls still that's another huge NO! With technology as it is today volume controls went by way of the Cassette & CD. And are totally unnecessary! I haven't wired for volume controls in oh 20 years now.

I was called to trouble shoot a POS system at a restaurant. They were having issues with the batch service. This is what I was confronted with. Absolutely disgusting that this is what some "think" is appropriate. I've been doing this well over 30 years now and I have seen quite a lot of wiring nightmares in my time but this one I believe wins the top honor. Who ever the idiot was that set this up has zero clue as to what they were doing. And they seriously need to stop!

O.K. for those of you who may not have a complete idea as to what I do for a living. I sell, design, and install electronics. I do programming etc. as well. This is will give you an idea as to the level I do my work at. I had a job in the Orlando area that was just over 3 weeks long. When I went to pick up materials I had ordered from a distributor here in town it didn't start off well. Little did I know it was an indication of things to come! What was supposed to be a week to maybe 2 week job ended up being just over 3 weeks. What an absolute nightmare! Going behind someone else's work who obviously did not care about how they performed there job was irritating to say the least. A million dollar home and it was a joke as to how they wired what I had asked them to wire. And to top it off they hadn't even wired 3 of the rooms as requested! Fortunately I had brought down with me a box of high strand 16/4 and was able to pull those areas where needed. The continued headaches and frustrations were a test to my resolve. I am very particular and very meticulous in my work. I went thru 3 network switches before I got an actual one to work as designed. #4 was the charm! And to make it all the more fun, I was working 7 days a week from 9am till 11-12 every night. But it's complete and working flawlessly. Whole house audio and the video distribution over IP is the bomb! They have 7 sources to choose from any where in the home with a single zone remote. I gave the bonus room access to Satellite 2, FireTV and the Nintendo Switch. Guest 1 has access to just Satellite 3. The Living Room and the Master have access to every thing. The rest of the rooms share Satellite 4. Waiting on the new LG 87" Pro Nano TV to come out soon. Then I will go back down and finish the theater.

This home i designed the Sound,TV's and the Camera system on was a challenge due to the way it was built. I didn't even include the guest house above the garage that has a bed room, bath, living area, kitchen and game room. They have 16 TV's and 20 zones of audio in this home. All controlled thru a Savant System. I have been in the custom sound business for oh 40+ years now and have been working for myself now for 30 or so years. I have been doing automation since 1989. Have any questions, Need help with let me know!

O.K. so your cheap and you "think", How hard can it be to install a camera system? Well YES you can buy just any ole camera system and throw, "literally" some wires up but what kind of quality are you going to get over the long haul? I think they were white? It looks like he had a hoodie on? Or maybe it was? Right? Yeah this is not what it should look like OR how it should be done. LOL

I had a job in Amelia Island that involved me installing a Savant System. The whole house system had never really worked and the surround set up sounded wretched. My customer hadn't really ever used the system they had paid another sound contractor to wire and install for them when they did the addition and add on to there home. After literally ripping everything out and having to literally unwire what this idiot had done it became clear as to WHY they had been having issues. NO you can't wire 4 rooms together and connect them with 1 4 conductor wire off of a receiver. It's called an impedance nightmare. And NO the guy didn't install impedance matching volume controls in all of the rooms which would have been fine IF he had. That is why the whole house receiver died on them. And the genius had wire nutted it all together with electrical wire nuts. Ahhh NO! Along with extending the wires for the surround system with wire nuts. He also had Super Glued all of the flashers for IR control onto the face of the components which ruined the face of the components because Super Glue will melt plastic. DUH! So Im having to replace there surround receiver and blu ray. It just baffles me as to how these guys get away with the s**t work they do. The pic's I have posted are what it looked like, What i discovered and how I straightened it all out and what it looks like after I rewired it all. I will still have to rip it all out AGAIN to install the new receiver and Blu Ray. Since you can't control any of the components now because of the Super Glue issue.

60" LED HD TV Install hidden in the ceiling outside on my customers back patio. They didn't want the TV blocking the view of the pool and they wanted it to be hidden when not in use. Pick the remote up, Hit the power button and voila, TV drops out of the ceiling.

Installed this system in Gainesville. Savant system with touch screen. 2 JBL subs with 2 10" drivers each matched with JBL Control 28's x 3 pair with 2 pair of JBL Control 25's for outside. 4 LED HD TV's all individually controlled with a Universal Remote behind the bar. All equipment is located in the rack in the office. 16 channel DVR for all the camera's with a separate monitor mounted in the office. No matter where you sit in this restaurant, You have perfect stereo. This setup sounds amazing and everyone who has heard it raves about how good it sounds. Having proper sound especially in an environment like this add's to the ambiance and makes the customers want to return.
