Terrible company! Sold me defective Google Max, I returned it but they refused to issue refund because "they can't resell it". What a nonsense! When I called, Marta picked up the phone, shed yelled and disrespected me. This is not acceptable! I will be filing dispute with my bank. Do NOT buy anything from this company!

I needed a good secuirty system and i needed it right away. I am so glad i decided to check out this store my self instead of trusting some of the reviews here. The guy answered all of my questions and suggest a great system based on what i told him i needed and my budget. Great picture quality and recorder has so many features at no additional cost that other stores tried to charge me for. This store had the most competitive prices and most importantly i was able to get help setting up the system too!
