I apologize for such a late response to this! I didn't even notice the message notification :laugh: To answer those responses, it's simply been VERY frustrating on my part trying to get set up with a system.. I got completely screwed by the first installer ( JS Lemac Computers) Scott had the wool pulled over my eyes from the start by suggesting a Foscam system ( which I knew nothing about) until I started doing my research on here. It took 8 months to finally get my money back after police involvement. I'm ever so thankful that my credit card company went to bat for me as I'd otherwise never have seen my money again. Scott was able to go on a Caribbean cruise, a second trip, have his yard work done by a local company, order out on a regular basis etc.. but couldn't somehow show up to put my cameras up, pay me back, or return any of my calls, texts, emails once I started to question why he was continually putting me off. Even upon visit to his home requesting my money he was rude and belligerent, screaming at me when I showed him a print off from a website where former clients had told the story of being ripped off by him in the exact same fashion as he was doing to me. When I also mentioned that the OPP had informed me that he was red flagged by them regarding possible Fraud allegations he lost it and called the police on me ordering me off his property telling them that his wife and daughter were fearing for their lives because I had shown up there requesting my money back... He welcomed legal actions by me stating "you'll get your money when I get around to it". Thankfully with the advice of some peers I went to my credit card company asking for help. They took action after I decided that I didn't want to lose more time from my job due to Scott and his last minute installation cancellations. They handled the situation very well, and he now has to deal with the creditors. Sadly after all of this he still continues to rip people off with his fraudulent actions.
I take no offense from you guys what so ever, I was rather heated writing that post after the wasted 2 hour drive to Toronto having read that I could get cameras at these suppliers only to be turned away with cash in my hand. I completely understand the reasoning behind what they do. I was simply at the end of my ropes after this second trial and error. I have recently came across another company recommended by my neighbor who is also in the market for a system. It's a small local business called Kelguard Security. The owner is a former police officer of 33 years who worked in Criminal Intelligence for 11 of them. He specializes in home security, very polite and knowledgeable guy. He came out to my house and gave me an excellent quote on a Hikvision 8 camera set up. I also was given some clients in my home town as references... the installs I was able to view were extremely clean and properly done, picture quality was excellent and I am told customer service has been great as well. I just set up an install date with him and will definitely post my results.
