“SCW easily has one of the very best sales and support...”

SCW easily has one of the very best sales and support teams in the technology industry. Their personnel are very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They freely offer their extensive knowledge of any thing relating to the video surveillance world. It's amazing that they do this and tech support all for FREE! I guess you can do that when you know you're selling the best equipment.

I ordered my security cameras from SCW because of all the great information on their website. I did have one camera that arrived dead and a replacement was sent out the same day I called. Great service.

Not a happy customer.
Don't deal with Ben at this company. He is only out for your money. He does not care about Customers at all. Only thing he wants is your money. Zero customer service at this place. Even turned my neighbor onto this company. He bought a full system also. I assume they work on commission. I have no prob with that at all. I myself am in sales for over 40yrs. When a customer ask. If they can get a price on an item. One add on Eufy Cam2 and they tell you. 10 days later it goes down 20 more dollars. Mind you I bought a full system and 3 extra Cam2 add on. So I asked about the price difference. What can you do about this. You get a email back saying. I can take it off your next item you order. Told Ben rather have the money back on my Credit card. I was very upset about how he did this to a customer. I assume they have lots of customers. Then no more emails back. My training in sales many yrs ago. Customers are Always first and number one to a salesman. You always take care of your customers. No matter what. So you keep them as a customer forever. I still have customers asking bout me after retirement for 4 years. That's how it works. That's what this company should do. You hear Ben. It's no prob. I will send my business elsewhere. I know it's 20 bucks. It's the principle to me. Was looking to buy more in the future. But. Not now. All I wanted was some credit on my card. But like I said. Keep it. You guys need it more then me. Already spent over 600.00 Again It was the principle of how it was done. Hope this helps with buying from here. Not saying other sales people will treat you the same. I had this guy Ben. Sad. Hope one of the Corporate Executive see this.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use Ben. Never used anyone else.

Products used:
Eufy Cam2 system plus add ons.

Simple and useful website and easy to order. Product delivered on time and in good shape. Only comment is the printed manuals are not all that great/detailed.

Site works better than most. I'm especially hapy that "continue shopping" puts you right back where you were.

Very well laid out website. I like the breakdown of each component that goes into a video surveillance system. Also, you cant go wrong with an American based company with a 3 year warranty.

Very helpful in selecting equipment. The new DVR interfaces well with my existing equipement without any additional work done.

SCW has the most helpful customer service and their employees are very good at biting their tongue when you ask dumb questions.

We have not got to install cameras yet. We are in the process of doing all the wiring. They are part of a big project that involves 3 phases. But ordering the cameras and DVR was very easy and the staff was very helpful in making sure I had what we needed for the project. The quotes were sent to me in a timely manner. I had all the quotes I needed and ordered a 16 channel hybrid with 9 IP cameras, then had them on my door step less than 36 hours. Maybe less than that. I was not at the office when they were delivered

I love their technical competence but the most important aspect is that their products outperform ANY cctv tools we have used previously.

The shopping experience at SCW was 11 on a scale of 1-10. The website had clearly written explanations of technical specs and issues. The salespeople were helpful. There was no wait time on the phone lines.

I own a Verizon Store in Ohio and LOVED working with them the first time! The setup to be able to view on my laptop and iPhone was INTENSE. I'm computer/network savvy and could not figure it out. With that said, you call their tech department, they remote into your computer (which remotes into the NVR), get it setup and you're good to go! No joke, 10 minutes of watching them move my mouse around change deep setting and I was fully operational! Customer service, customer service, customer service. Nice work SCW! I just placed my second order!

Honestly, I learned more for your site than all of the blogs I read, combined. Everyone agrees Qsee, Lorex, Swann, etc are nearly the same thing and all junk, but yall explained a lot about the difference in channels, how HD is transferred over these channels, which made me investigate many brands who usually had an * beside their HD clause where I learned it was only half the cameras. Anyway, I'm optimistic about this system and just hope it, and yall, live up to everything that's stated. If nothing else, #USA_Customer_Support

Ordering is very easy, except last night the system would not complete an order and there was no clear explanation of the system problem.

SCW has been fantastic to work with. Great support and equipment. Installed a 6 camera system, and just purchased a 7th camera.

terrific information on the site - tutorials and technical information as well as fast and informative chat sessions. I would add the prices were very good, maybe even great.

I found most information I needed on the website. I also got the upfront email with information on camera systems.
