About
Wired camera installations. NO WIRELESS/WIRE-FREE CAMERAS (ALL Ring, Google and Blink products are wireless) wireless refers to the transmission of your video feed(over WiFi) not if the camera has a wire or not. Wireless cameras can be hacked and will not work if your Internet stops or if the power goes out. Wired cameras only require power but if Internet is available the cameras can be seen on a phone, tablet or computer. Once again wired cameras CAN be seen on your phone and will be much more reliable than wireless.

Sherman is a true pro with expert advice on camera coverage and connections. Not a single wire showing on the house even on the cameras . True wiring magic. He loves his work. Showed up early, installed the cameras, cleaned up, fined tuned the cameras, marked every wire. You can't get better then perfect. This isn't a fake review I oversee 400 facilities and have no time for BS or subpar work. Listen to the man he know what he's doing. I couldn't be happier the way this project turned out. Thanks again!

My experience with Sherman was fantastic! His communication was excellent along with his knowledge and professionalism. If you’re looking for a wired camera system please consider giving him your business.
I had a several cameras installed and asked a lot of questions. He answered as many as I could ask and we talked over location of cameras and where to install the box. Clean install all around and his warranty is peace of mind.

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Sherman earlier. He installed a 4 camera POE system in my home and it’s worked flawlessly. He was punctual, and readily responded to any questions I had. The cost and peace of mind he provided was well worth the investment. Ivan see all angles of my property. I’d hire again, no questions asked.

Sherman is absolutely top notch. He goes over areas of concern, makes adjustments, and takes time to make sure everything is setup correctly. Installation is professional and answers any questions you may have. Will not hesitate to reach out to him again. Thanks Sherman!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I arrive I begin by greeting the customer then complete a walk around the property with the customer choosing the camera locations. After coming to an agreement about the areas that needs protection I then proceed to begin the installation.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received training in the Army at Ft. Gordon,GA. I learned about connecting and setting up networks. Further army training taught me how to lay Cat5 cable for Cisco systems. Monitored the base with PTZ cameras. I then received training through Time Warner and learned more about cable and running low voltage through homes.
