He also set up a complete surveillance system with Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Cameras, ensuring clear video quality and reliable monitoring. In addition, he installed a professional door access control system using Ubiquiti UniFi Access, allowing secure entry with key cards, PIN codes, and mobile access. He configured everything perfectly, including the network rack, patch panels, PoE switching, and cable management, making the entire setup clean and well-organized. Orkhan also handled the installation of the router, firewall configuration, and remote access setup, ensuring the system is secure and easy to manage. The work was done professionally, on time, and with great attention to detail. Everything is running smoothly, and I highly recommend Orkhan for any networking, security, or low-voltage installation projects.

The wiring was run cleanly and professionally, the equipment was installed with attention to detail, and everything was configured perfectly. A special shoutout for setting up an Access Intercom solution, which has made entry management so much smoother. The whole experience felt seamless -- from planning the setup to leaving everything neat and fully functional. If you're looking for someone who knows Unifi gear inside out, reasonable pricing, and delivers quality work with a clean finish, I highly recommend Orkham. Ps: As an added benefit, Orkham can also install television, and sound bars.

Anybody remember Whole Earth Access in Berkeley? I'm talking quite some time since my last purchase. Victor is amazing to work with. It's very obvious that he's extremely knowledgeable about what he does. I also find him extremely trustworthy. He put together a system that completely meets my needs. On top of that, it looks so nice and clean. The whole thing takes up much less space. Thanks Vic!

I was having a number of issues with not only how the system itself was acting but also how the remote control was acting. Unfortunately my AV person of 15 years who configured the system and programmed the remote, made a career change and is no longer available. Victor responded to my inquiry on Yelp within minutes and spoke to me quite a while about the issues I was having. He followed up with me the following week and arranged for a visit where he made a number of recommendations which included upgrading my cabling to higher end audio/video cables along with my power supply cables and conditioners which would better handle my 4K upgraded components. He also recommended I run my patio speakers off a separate Sonos amp instead of taxing my Denon home theater amp to a separate zone. He brought in Ector who did a fine job upgrading my eeros wireless mesh network to the pro 6 pods. He also brought in Fernando to custom program and tune up the URC remote control. Fernando was fantastic and made further network recommendations including replacing my Xfinity modem with a compatible store-bought model that would.greatly improve the speed and stability of the mesh network. That plan worked out just as projected. Victor spent a lot of time with me explaining the options I had and the different price levels for the cabling and power supplies. He made sure I understood the reasoning behind his recommendations. He was very willing to work with the system I had in place and just make improvements to it instead of recommending I upgrade all the components. He stuck to his pricing and was a very good communicator throughout whether it was by phone, text or email. Thanks to Victor and Home Theater Concierge, I feel he has taken my home theater system to the next level. The 4K display on my Sony A90J TV set looks sharper and Atmos surround sound is certainly more spectacular especially after he retuned the sound system for my sweet spot, and re-aimed speakers. He also added isolator feet to several components along with my Episode subwoofer. I would not hesitate to recommend Victor and his team to anyone looking to either build a home theater system from scratch or troubleshoot or upgrade their current system.

It's not often you come across someone in business who reminds you that basic human kindness still…read moreexists. Jake at Barker Tech did that for my wife and me. Our home has an older AV system installed years ago by another contractor. Over time, the system became outdated, complicated, and the contractor became harder to reach and increasingly expensive. My wife and I separated several years ago, but she still lives in the home and has always struggled with the universal remote and the setup's complexity. Recently, she called me in distress because she couldn't turn on the television in the living room. Under normal circumstances, that would be a small inconvenience. But my wife is currently battling stage-four ovarian cancer and only has a few months left. All she wanted was the simple comfort of sitting on the couch and watching TV. I called Jake and explained the situation. Without hesitation, he said he would come take a look. The next day, he and one of his technicians, Wilson, showed up and spent over an hour patiently troubleshooting the system until they got everything working again. When the work was finished, I asked what I owed him. Jake said there would be no charge given my wife's condition. I was honestly taken back. In a world where it often feels like everything is transactional, Jake chose compassion instead. This wasn't just good service, it was humanity, and I'll never forget that kindness. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, Barker Tech is the real deal.

I previously used a big Bay Area AV/home automation company. I spent over six figures on the initial install when I was rebuilding my house, and after that, every "fix" cost thousands. They had me on a Savant system where even a simple upgrade--like adding a new Apple TV 4K--was quoted at $4,000 because I needed new video cards. I was tired of the "gatekeeping" and not being able to make simple changes myself. I hired Jake to fix the mess, and Barker Tech has been incredible. He didn't just patch things up. he completely updated my network and AV, removed the bloated Savant system, and simplified my entire home automation setup. The result? A system that is high-end, significantly more dependable and simple, I'm able to DIY some things and I don't need to worry about explaining to my wife why a simple change to the system costs more than our first car we bought. The responsiveness is what really sets them apart. I recently had a troubleshooting issue: Jake responded within 5 minutes and had it totally resolved in 15 minutes. Barker Tech feels "too good to be true" because the knowledge and attention to detail are world-class, but the prices are actually reasonable. If you're tired of being overcharged by the big firms, call Jake. (Just don't take up all his time!)

We hired this company for a lighting design and low-voltage specification package for a high-end…read morecustom home project and paid approximately $5,000 upfront, expecting a complete, buildable lighting plan our electrician could follow during construction. The primary reason we hired them was for guidance on LED strip lighting systems, transformer sizing and placement, wiring diagrams, wine cellar backlighting, stair lighting, under-cabinet lighting, ceiling details, niches, and other architectural lighting features throughout the home. Despite multiple follow-ups, onsite discussions, renderings, and repeated emails, we never received complete specifications for many of the most critical items needed to move construction forward. We repeatedly had to ask basic but essential questions such as: * which LED strips to use * which transformers were compatible * where transformers should be located * what the electrician should wire for * load calculations and system divisions These were not additional requests -- this was the core service we hired them for. The most frustrating part was the lack of urgency and accountability despite construction actively progressing onsite. Instead of simplifying the project, we were left researching products ourselves, coordinating missing technical information manually, and trying to avoid delays caused by incomplete documentation. Considering the amount paid and the level of follow-up required from our side, the engagement ultimately delivered very little practical value to the project. It genuinely felt like the $5,000 fee was largely wasted. For a company operating in the luxury residential space, this level of communication, coordination, and incomplete delivery is extremely disappointing. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company for projects where responsiveness, technical detail, and timely execution actually matter.

We had a tough set up at our home that was over ten years old and in need of a real overhaul with…read moresome pretty complicated situations involved. Our first priority was a new TV and a new receiver and getting confirmation this team could do the work. Well, they can and not only can they do most anything you need, they do it with patience, lots of grace, a sense of humor, total dedication to perfection and without ripping you off. Once you start talking to the people who work here you will find that most of them have been there for over a decade and some of them have been there almost two decades and that's because they love what they do and it shows in every aspect of this process. We had an initial consultation which they credit back to you if you have the work done and then we made our choices with tons of guidance based on our budget and needs. The team came on the day of install and they were clean, professional, knowledgeable and just plain good guys. We had one little hiccup after they left and they immediately came back and fixed it. We started with Quincy in the store to pick out the TV and eventually started working with Alex for the entire set up and he sticks with you through everything until the very end, even follow ups. He's easy to get a hold of and responds directly. Lloyd came to do the once over for install and the guys who came to do the work were Desmond and Alan. I really can't recommend them enough and they made what we thought was going to be a difficult and hard experience something that we quite enjoyed and we are super happy with the end result. Here's hoping it lasts at least another ten years!

The person said to make it easier he would need to drill some holes to help hide the wires. He asked if we had paint and said he could patch it. Next thing you know we have a 5"x5" hole in our fireplace along with holes in another wall. The patch was left unfinished. He said he had a paint brush initially and then later said he didn't. Pretty sure he was using a paper towel. Then told me I should paint it in an hour. Called their office and Nikki told me their team doesn't do paint or patching...ok. Why say you can? She couldn't tell me when someone would be back out and never called me back. So we have a mounted tv but now we need a professional painter to come fix the botched patch. Not to mention I spent 30 mins cleaning up after they left.

I can't recommend Rudy enough!

Where others saw a desperate situation and wanted to overcharge, Rudy saw a challenge and delivered. He worked with what he had, fixed every issue, and got my entire system running perfectly without a single hiccup. His attention to detail is unmatched--especially on my projector screen install. I was nervous because the studs in the wall left no room for error, but Rudy's measurements were spot-on, and he got it done with absolute precision and accuracy. Beyond the quality, Rudy is fair, honest, and budget-friendly. He didn't take advantage of the situation; instead, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was done the right way. After dealing with the stress of a bad contractor, Rudy was a lifesaver and turned the whole project around. If you need someone who is a good person in your house, reliable, highly skilled, and professional for audio/video work, Rudy is the guy. I'd give him 10 stars if I could!

My goal was to have…read morean immersive watching experience when we wanted it to be, but transform into a normal living room the rest of the time. To do that, they installed a projector, built-in retractable screen, all new AV equipment, and in-ceiling speakers. Glenn ran the show, and was great throughout the whole process. He kept in constant contact, providing updates and suggestions that struck a good balance between performance and cost. With his decades of experience, he knew where I should save money and where I should spend it. Even when the inevitable snafus occurred (which they always do), Glenn handled them with professionalism. Alex and his crew built a custom enclosure for the retractable screen, and ran new wires for a whole bunch of things. It required cutting holes in the ceiling and building a custom ceiling box, but when it was done, it looked as if it had built into the house the whole time. Josh and team did the installation of the AV equipment. They were professional and friendly, and paid attention to all the little details. Everything down to the cable management looks neat and tidy. I'd Valley Home Theater again in a heartbeat!
