5 of 5 Always Impressed with Customer Service July 22, 2021
Reviewer: StevenL from Redlands, CA  
We have always been impressed with the customer customer we have received from CCTV Camera Pros. Today Zack had gone above and beyond. He was patient, knowledgeable, and concerned about helping us solve our problem. Another important aspect of this company is that they have shown a high level of integrity. Which is rare to see now a days. If you are looking for a company to buy a security system from, I would highly recommend them. You won't be sorry.
