Hardly knew they were here. As a business we were concerned about interruption and noise but the team were amazing. Courteous to our users and staff, surprisingly quiet! The camera's and software installed, simple to use, excellent quality pictures. We are really pleased with the result. The planning visit and information received was clear and communication easy. Highly recommend the team!

Got a quote for security cameras for a private house. Company came to the property and gave good advice on location and equipment suitable for the job. The quote was very competitive and sent within 24hrs. The installation was completed promptly and the engineers were very professional and couldn't do enough to ensure customer satisfaction. The work was of a high standard and the house was left clean and tidy.
Everything was set up for me to use and was explained simply and clearly ( I'm a bit of a tech numpty). After sales service was also excellent when one of the cameras needed to be adjusted they were out within 24 hrs. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company

The service Steve & his team was amazing, neat and very professional. They turned up when planned and left our house spotlessly clean. We originally wanted an Alarm system, which would be easy to use! The demo given was very detailed and insightful! So impressed by their workmanship, We had them install a complete CCTV system and Security lighting as well, whilst they was on site. Thank you very much guys for protecting our home and making us feel safe! Many thanks Padi & Vicky Finn Manadon, Plymouth
