Derek was friendly, responsive and really knew his stuff. He helped me run CAT 6 cables to two additional cameras and his team arrived right on time and finished everything quickly. Great experience all around—thanks, guys!

Got some Ethernet wiring done at my house and can’t say I can get a better setup than what Derrick got for me. Super professional really looks what makes the most sense and gets you 100% right. Gave me a quote and in 3 days had everything done. Extremely hard worker and I couldn’t be more happy with my setup.

Derek and his team at DW Surveillance Solutions were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. They take pride in their work and did not settle for anything less than perfection. Their quick response to their commitment to their craft, makes them exactly what you are looking for in a contractor. They are not there to up charge you, but rather to deliver an end result which I thought was infeasible given the complexity of the wiring job. They made a single hole in the closet (which they patched) and besides that did not make any extra holes for any of the 8 total ethernet runs which was at least 4 fewer than any other contractor I got quotes from (and were very reasonable priced compared to others). Derek and his team stayed until midnight and came back on the next day on their day off to finish a challenging wiring run which is a testament to their resolve and customer first mentality. I would hire them in a heartbeat and am recommending them to all my friends for their ethernet and surveillance needs.

Derek and his team did great work running ethernet cables and installing ring cameras and lights. It was easy to get a quote and schedule the appointment, and the work was well done with a friendly crew. I appreciate the ability to schedule within a few days from when I first reached out. I recommend DW Surveillance Solutions based on my good experience.
