These guys are very professional and they do a very good job. They set up our cameras in the office and warehouse. They were always on time and responded quickly when we had issues or questions. We've been using them for quite a while now and have had no problems of any kind. I would recommend these guys to any company big or small looking to install some surveillance equipment. read more

We recently switched to them. The service works and they have corrected any issues we may have. Our quality of the product is not the best but it is not there fault, we haven't forked over more money to make it top of the line. I would still recommend them. read more

I have had a good business relationship with First Digital Surveillance for over 5 years now. They continue to outperform any other bids or estimates in labor, performance and quality of equipment. You guys still rock! Keep up the good work! Whether it is a home surveillance system or a 27 acre facility, they have done it all for me. When problems arise, they continue to work on them till problem resolve. Great customer service! read more

Great services and great products. I recommends First Digital Survellance 100%. They are relaiable and professional.

It is with great appreciation and satisfaction that I recommend First Digital Surveillance. Shawn and Omar and the entire installation crew was nothing short of professional, helpful, and caring to make certain they delivered what was contracted for, and then some. Taking care to ensure our satisfaction in the outcome, they did what it took to make sure the alarm and surveillance camera systems work throughout our 50k facility. I selected First Digital Surveillance based on the strength of their reviews and am pleased to offer my recommendation as well. FDS continues to follow up every month or so which is greatly appreciated. They have been quick to respond to questions that have arisen. First Digital is a First Class operation.

Shawn has such personal service. I switched cable providers and needed my info updated to get my cameras viewing on my phone again. He tried to do it remotely. When this did not work out, he personally came by on Christmas Eve to ensure this was done. Shawn always has the best state-of-the-art camera systems at fair prices. He is always available by text and answers quickly if there is an issue. We love our camera system! read more

Shawn provides an awesome service and equipment at affordable price. I called everyone ADT, Brinks and all the other national brands and Shawn seems to beat all of them in equipment as well as in service & support his company provides. Much better product at much better price. High quality digital equipment at fraction of cost what the others will charge you. We have been doing business with Shawn and His company since 2010 and never had any issues. You need support just text or call his support team and they will respond back within minutes and get to resolve any issues you are having. My fav support tech is Omar. You text the support and he is on it and gets back to you within 15 minutes. Just AWESOME service all the way. read more

I've been working with this company for 3 years now. Very professional, and at-tentative to your camera needs.

Amazing! I have a huge lot, lots of construction was going on when Shawn and his team showed up and what happened? Shawn met me and my husband (did I mention how personable he was?) And inspected my home to decide on the game plan. Shawn invited us outside to discuss what his game plan was and his team got started. Throughout the process the team communication via walkie talkies of some sort and made sure everyone was on the same page. While the work was almost complete Shawn followed up with a tailboard (what are the next steps) to look over his shoulder to find a rattlesnake. (What does this have to do with anything you ask?) The fact that Shawn is really observant and looking out for his clients showed me that he and his crew was on top of their game. Bottom line thanks so much to your team for the respect and professionalism and most of all, the work is excellent quality with no wires showing. This is our fist night and it looks really darn good!

Shawn and the guys are the best. They set up a great camera system at the house and when I've had trouble with the app they are very helpful getting you back online. Could not recommend these guys enough. read more

I highly recommend First Digital Surveillance because of their Excellent after Sales Support & affordable pricing. I was leaving town for 2 weeks & spoke to Shawn on the evening of Friday, Shawn & his crew installed 7 HD IP Cameras on Monday. We are extremely pleased & love the ability of remote access from iPhone & iPad. Shawn is very knowledgeable & was upfront from the beginning. We called few other businesses before we spoke with Shawn & strongly felt that he was the right person for the job. Very glad we went with him. read more

I would not recommend this company. Shawn installed a system for me a year ago and everything worked well. Recently I had an issue with two of my cameras not showing up on the screen in addition to the hard drive making loud screeching noises. I called Shawn, he promptly came over, seemingly fixed the issue and informed me as he was leaving that the cost of the repair was $150. 3 hours after he left, my entire system crashed and I have not had any service in over a week. Phone call after phone call and text message after text message went unanswered. When I finally did speak to him he said that service calls were not a priority for him, but he would "do me a favor" and try to find a solution to my problem. He then mentioned that I hadn't paid his invoice. I told him that I am worse off now than before he came. He obviously misdiagnosed the problem. Why on earth would I pay for a service that you did not satisfactorily perform? Again, prior to his visit the only issue I had was 2 cameras being out. I finally told him after a week of being ignored that I would find someone else to fix whatever is wrong with my system. read more

These guys know there stuff. I changed internet provider and need to get my surveillance system up that afternoon or I was going to have to sleep in the business. I thought I could do it myself -yeah right. They responded right away and I told them I needed service and help NOW and they had me up and running in 2 hours never having been to my business. I highly recommend them for all your CCTV DVR programming PAul N read more

As a property manager representing the top management company in California, I know I needed a top notch dependable company to meet our expectations. These guys delivered! Very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They are our preferred vendor and give my recommendations anytime. read more

Excellent service from Shawn and his company, First Digital. We had them install 20 security cameras at our apartment building in Culver City + 18 security cameras at our building in Hollywood. Shawn was responsive, professional and knew a tremendous amount about his product. Will definitely be using First Digital again in the future. Highly recommend. read more

Can't say how bad & rude the customer service was which we received. Installation went smoothly & had nothing bad to say up until we had a small problem with the installed equipment. After over a month passing without even getting a response back, we tried calling again to schedule service, but instead Shawn would never get back to us & now over a month later Shawn calls us back & proceeds to tell us we were wrong for expecting to receive service. All in all there's no complaints on the installed equipment, but in regards to their customer service it was horrible! You don't call paying (we're paying a monthly service fee!) customers back weeks late, & you definitely shouldn't go on to yell at us trying to place blame on us for your bad service. Overall they'll treat you good up until they have you as a paying customer, then at that point they have no need to keep it up. read more

I take back everything I said..This company doesn't deserve 2 stars. How can you get away with selling a product that cannot be serviced by anyone other than your company. The invoice says there is a 1 year labor and product warranty. Yet, Shawn will not provide the owners manual that identifies the mfg. information. The owners manual has been modified to have only his company name. Any product sold in the US will come with an owners manual that will identify mfg. name, phone number, address and warranty info...... Customers who don't care about buying a no name brand or don't care about mfg warranties then Shawn has the product for you. You must also be willing to rely on Shawn for any future repairs since no other company will work on generic product....If Shawn was an upstanding business owner, he would realize that certain entities cannot buy generic product and give us our money back. Those who gave this company a good review, I would appreciate if you could post Manufacture name and model number of the DVR or NVR Shawn sold you? Or how about the Surveillance camera he sold you? If shawn returns our money I will remove this review. If you have any issues with this company the owners real name is ABDUL MAJID KHAN. read more

Avoid This Company & Save Yourself Time and Wasted Money The owner, Shawn M., and his helper came to my home in January of 2013. His work was so poor I had to have someone else come in and do what he couldn't. I needed to connect to my DVR remotely. He told me it would be too complicated for me. This is only because he could not successfully perform the setup. He sold me an HD camera for $250 that is not a HD camera. I paid him on the 12th and my check cleared on the 17th. On top of all of this, he began calling me at work and sending emails accusing me of not paying and demanding I send him my cancelled check as proof of payment because he forgot to make a copy of it for his records. He's been threatening for months now to take me to court and sue. I've ignored his calls and emails (received one yesterday and today). I'm not the least bit worried. He / this company are a waste of time and money. Save yourself the headaches and call someone else. Not only is he really bad at what he does, he's even worse at running his business and tracking payments. read more

We recently had cameras installed at our small townhome complex in San Pedro. Shawn and his crew were knowledgeable, courteous and ON TIME!! Their pricing was fair, they delivered what they said they would and I am very pleased with the results. read more

This is an update to my review on 5/16/2014. After speaking with Shawn on the phone shortly after my post, I decided to give First Digital another chance to keep my business. Since then, First Digital has come through as promised and several times now has performed maintenance on several of my systems with professionalism. I can once again sincerely recommend First Digital for all your CCTV needs. read more

I chose First Digital to do 7 outdoor cameras and a camera/doorbell. I feel they did a great job. Very high quality cameras and great placement and great workmanship. Shawn was very responsive to any questions/ concerns I had. Omar has been great with software/app support for my iPhone. I can use my phone/iPad to view my home while away and this gives me exactly what I wanted-peace of mind. The system works great. Thank you First Digital 5 stars! read more

First Digital is an outstanding company: the products are high-quality and state-of-the-art, the service is professional, friendly, and prompt. Shawn's impressive knowledge, willingness to listen to his client's needs and discuss potential systems and safeguards, allows him to create a customized solution for each client. His focus is always on finding the best solution for his client, regardless of the size of the account. Service: I am very confident recommending Shawn, because we have used his company for ten years, both for our apartment buildings and our homes. Any post-installation problem (ANY problem) has always been resolved quickly, professionally, and left us completely satisfied. In fact, we have recommended Shawn to our friends and business associates and never received a negative comment. First Digital's commitment to detail, integrity, quality, and Shawn's unwavering respect for his client's needs would make him a success in any field. read more

Very pleased with the work First Digital Surveillance has done both at our home and at our apartment complex. Shawn and his team have worked with us to provide great service and advice regarding how many cameras we needed, where to place them, etc. We are especially happy with the system he put in, it is very user friendly. Shawn is very pleasant and easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable about his business, and worked with us until we were completely satisfied. read more

Shawn and his team of Jesus and George were amazing. Shawn came out first and planned our job. He then showed up on time with all the right equipment and did a true custom installation in a flash. No problems no hassles and they even vacuumed everything spotless! It worked right from the start. I can see my home on my iPhone. Shawn answered all my questions and set up the Internet which would have taken my husband several hours. He was so professional and confident with the latest gadgets. I recommend using his service without reservations. read more

We are very pleased with the service & professionalism of First Digital Surveillance. We highly recommend Shawn for his knowledge in the field of CCTV & Networking. He was able to set us up with Remote Access so we can watch our cameras over our iPhone, iPad & Computer no matter where we are. read more

I switch to First Digital after having a bad experience with my old vendor. They are really responsive responding to emails and phone calls. I use Apple products and they are familiar with them, which most companies are not. I love having the support system they have so I can get help if I have problems logging in. I highly recommend them! read more
