Where you buy your video system is important!
There are thousands of vendors of video surveillance systems. All over the world from China to the Big Box store on the corner. How do you choose your CCTV System? What do you need to make an intelligent decision? You are about to make a sizable investment, and you want to make an intelligent decision. You have to decide what is really most important- Price? Quality? Support? And then, how do you determine which supplier can or even will give you what you want. This article will explain how to find High Quality Security Camera Systems.
No question, if you are after lowest price importing from China is the way to go. Unfortunately, all you will get will be low price. As there are many hundreds of Chinese companies, finding one that you can work with will be a daunting task. The language problem will be huge, printed instructions will be truly a challenge, and overall product quality will be poor. You will not get any tech support. If you want to return a bad part, it will not be possible. They will provide you with a box of parts, period.
Another choice will be the Big Box Store. Prices will not be as good as direct imports, but you will get a degree of support. But tech support will be difficult to get. You will not get any meaningful help making your purchase. Your choice will be to take what is on the shelf and then hope it will work for you. Getting details on system performance? Nope. After sale help? Difficult to non-existent.
How about on-line vendors? There certainly are a lot of them. But who are the good ones and who is going to just take your money and run? How can you determine which of their claims are true and who is lying? Brick and mortar vs. a PC on a bedroom desk? Time in business? Warranty? Tech support? All valid questions.
How about Spy Shops? Lots of them around, right? But do they have any real knowledge about camera systems? They seem to be heavy into gimmicks and not into technology. They will also want to sell you wireless cameras, which are little more that toys. Be careful!
There are large security distributors that carry video systems. Most will not be very anxious to get your business, and many will turn you away unless you are a licensed installation company. A valid business policy, as they don’t want to compete with their dealers. That doesn’t do you much good.
And then there are the specialty video distributors. Not so many of those, but worth the search.
SecurityCameraKing.com is one of them. And, I believe the best. A true brick and mortar company, with 28 employees and a 5000 SF warehouse/office location in Boca Raton, Florida. 8 years in business, and started as an installation company. Morphed into a manufacturer when finding quality products became problematic. We now serve thousands of customers, both retail and wholesale. Government clients include FBI, DEA, military locations all over the world, various installs for the governments of Grand Cayman, Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica and many other nations. We recently sold 160 cameras to an air and space museum. If you are in the South Florida area, come on over to see our demo set up. All our cameras are up and working, so you can see our superb quality and clarity.
If you are not sure what you need for your system, our highly skilled sales people will guide you to the best solution to meet your needs. Even our sales people have real in-the-field experience with camera systems. If you have a challenge while installing your system, our support techs will assist you until everything is good. If you have a problem six months or six years later, this tech support will still be available to you at no charge. That’s right, I said FREE! This level of support is unheard of in this industry. If you do have a failure (which is extremely rare) we will replace or repair quickly under
Have a large complex system requirement? We can work from blueprints and specifications for any system. We have recently done several 200 plus camera systems for marijuana growers in Washington State, done to very rigorous state requirements. We can meet your needs, to your satisfaction.
You will find our website, www.securitycameraking.com to be an excellent starting point. All of our products are shown there, with technical data, videos of the systems in operation, and prices. We even have real customer reviews! Confused about the different technologies? Call us, we will clarify for you. And, we will guide you away from products that just don’t work. Unfortunately there are a lot of other comapnies out there from fly by night vendors with a pretty website and very little else.
So, take a good look around the area you want to protect, get an idea what you want to achieve, and give us a call. Not totally sure? That’s OK, call us anyway, we are glad to help. We will give you help that no other company will give you.
