lindsayspop 0 Posted August 22, 2012 You've got about $1200 worth of equipment there so almost $3K of installation costs. I would think you could get by for much less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vector18 1 Posted August 23, 2012 7 cameras, an 8 channel dvr, power supply, programming and set up for internet remote viewing for 4100.00 is pretty reasonable in New York. You have to figure if they are all outdoor, a company has to send 2 men all day for the installation. With that price, that should include any additional days for focusing or adjusting any cameras, paying the 2 workers a day salary, all the equipment, wire, connectors, a work truck for the men to get there, insurance, etc, etc. And than on top of all of that, the company has to profit money! But, if you hired a friend of a friend to come on his day off, than a 3K profit for one day is a highway robbery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just remember you get what you pay for... the problem with that is if the installer uses cheap budget..............the after sales service is because of equipment used by installer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vector18 1 Posted August 23, 2012 I just recently did a 6 camera job with an 8 channel dvr for more than 4100 for the company I work for. Only the wife was home to show her how to use PSS. A week later, the husband scheduled a 4:30pm service call to meet him and instruct him how to use PSS. I arrived at the scheduled time and waited 1/2 hour for him. The wife called her husband and he was stuck in bad traffic and would not be home for about an hour. I left because my job did not want to pay me O/T to stand around and do nothing. I had to go back yet another day to meet him and instruct him. So, even if you installed budget equipment or top of the line equipment, there are sometimes after installation service and you have to eat it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
