For some reason I can no longer sign into my original account, bpzle. I've sent countless emails for help to the administrator, but no replies.
But ANYWAY, to answer your questions: My cash supply is limited. My only source is whatever I have left over from my day job after my wife, bills and the mortgage empty my wallet. I'm going to hold on to my day job for as long as I can for the good reliable pay and benefits. That makes my business endeavor limited to my days off and/or any vacation time I decide to use for the bigger jobs.
I'm not interested in a store front and counter sales for now. To me that's way too much overhead and risk to stress over. I need to crawl before I can walk. For now my main plan is to stick with CCTV installs.
Thanks for the good advice for opening a spy shop, but back to my original questions... Specific equipment makes/ models/ suppliers?
