Your receipt will definitely contain terminology and name brand products- like the "western digital purple 4000gb hard drive" that I paid 250$ for 4/2016. When it went out 7/2017 I found that the actual hard Drive inside was a cheap ass knock off. One of the 5x 110$ HDCVI analog cameras powered over balun- because my building was wired for networked cameras and the predatory salesmen convinced us to use analog instead has also gone out- the picture diminished to mere fuzz. A rear camera behind our facility no longer has usable IR for night recording past about 3' from the camera. Beware- you're better served buying name brand off amazon and installing yourself after consulting with industry professionals that don't have a financial stake. Probably could have got the exact same equipment from fondren and Hardin for half the price- and had the same instruction manual in broken English.

NO SYSTEM YOU FIND ON THE INTERNET OR EVEN AT LOCAL COMMERCIAL WHOLESALERS that we use to supply our product sells the cable that connects the cameras to the digital video recorder. Cable, connectors to be terminated at each end and a power supply are needed in addition to the camera and digital video recorder. Let me be clear. If Jiang were more knowledgeable about what he/she was looking for, he/she would have caught in the advertisement that the price only included the DVR and Cameras. That being said and I haven't seen the advertisement, all advertisers need to remember that consumers not in the industry may have never been in a position to buy cameras and are not aware of the in's and out's. The details need to be included in the advertisement. Us in the industry have these materials, cables, connectors and power supplies. Hopefully people considering purchasing cameras will read my post and obviously Jiang's and can see that what Jiang is complaining about and calling a scam is really not a scam as most people would describe being scammed. CMC is a well known company in not only Houston but across the USA. I highly recommend them. We purchase their License Plate Capture cameras and are very happy with the product quality, real life functionality and price. Best Regards, Jeff Krohn 414-367-4007 jeffkrohn51@gmail.com

Then, they jack up the price because the system does not include: 1. Power supply $89 2. connectors $15.80 + $7.90 3. cable! for $130 All together with tax that is over $1020. What kind of crap is that! I have never bought a security system without power supply, connectors and cable. Also, the security system was made in China. I just bought a higher resolution Samsung security system from Amazon.com for 30% cheaper than their final quote. True, it is likely the Samsung security system was also made in China. However, my system is backed by Samsung. NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE SCAMMERS.

Most companies as that time wanted me to lease or do some kind of payment plan which I wasn't interested in. Other providers wanted a 3 year contract and original, installing company did not. Eventually, the company that did my instilwas sold to a group out of San Antonio and then that company was bought by Alert 360. They are based out of Tulsa and their service couldn't be worse. It's as if ADT and Comcast got together and had a baby and the baby got only the bad traits. The first thing they did was jack up my rate without offering any additional services and as a special "feature" they tacked on a monthly "insurance" cost to my bill without asking me. I called up to their headquarters and asked the clerk to justify their existence. I asked why I would continue to pay them when now days, systems are automated, cheap and efficient. The woman answered that "they answer the phone faster than any other alarm company." Which just shows she totally missed the point of the question. These people are crooks, and this business model is going the way of the dinosaurs. Update: no see, I'm not trying to get anything from you. Nor am I intent on helping you learn, grow, or be better at business. I've had my experience and now it's out there for people to see. Your chance, you had it, it's over. Good to know that you didn't even try to refute a single comment I made though. Should be evident to anyone that can read what a horrible company you are Update 2: Alert 360 somehow believes I care to have a "resolution" and doesn't understand what the purpose of Yelp is. This is a place for people to offer reviews and share experiences for the general public to see and be informed. It is recommended that Alert 360 get better at social media and business in general. Alert 360 should be advised that people do not succumb to demands for "direct contact" nor are reviews posted to help a company learn Update 3: positive reviews seem to be for "Central Security Group." Karen of Alert 360 appears to be excited to claim ownership of past positive reviews. Maybe Alert 360 bought that company as well. It shouldn't mean that Alert 360 is entitled to past performance.

The men went to a hardware store to buy stuff to fix the problem. Not a good idea, but they thought they were doing the right thing. Later that evening, it started dripping again in my bedroom. Mr. Adrian Reyes wasted no time in taking care of the problem by staying on top of everything by calling a plumbing company Roto Rooter to fix the problem. Mr. Reyes called and texted periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly, which put me at ease. Through it all, my only problem was having to deal with a customer service agent in Oklahoma (I reside in Texas), who kept talking over me, trying to make me UNDERSTAND that I have a leak in the roof. Poor customer service on her part, but that will not deter me from giving Mr. Reyes 5 stars. I recommended CSG to two of my friends. The one that had the system installed is extremely satisfied. The other will have hers installed in August. I am sure she will be satisfied as well. Now, I have a different perspective on "one bad apple spoil the whole bunch". Not true in this case. Just one person acted inappropriately, but Mr. Reyes was quite professional, and maintained his professionalism through it all. I would definitely recommend this company. Mr. Reyes certainly deserve 5 star rating. It's too bad I can't give him ten stars. Mr. Reyes is a great asset to Central Security Group. Happy the technician is alright. Things could have been so much worse on either side. Kudos to Mr. Reyes. Keep up the good work.
