*** OUT OF BUSINESS *** I waited a long time to give this review, hoping I'd see what other reviews in years past spoke so highly of, but the time for patience is long gone. I called Mark (AAA Intercom Systems DBA Amark Electric) in early September of 2019 looking for a solution to lowering my monthly intercom cost. Mark proposed a low cost solution that no other vendors were offering. We set the appointment a couple weeks out, for September 20th. I call Mark to confirm a few days before and he tells me he has the materials he needs and we're confirmed. Twenty minutes before he is scheduled to arrive at the property, he calls to tell me to say, oh-uh, actually he doesn't have the modem in stock and it'll take a week to arrive and he'll call me when it is delivered to his office.
Okay...
A week goes by...then another. Nothing from AAA Intercom Systems dba Amark Electric. I call Mark to find out what is going on and the guy is radio silent. Another week passes and I try him again. He gets back to me a few days later by text at 2:18am on October 4th to say the modem arrived and he is ready to schedule an appointment (not exactly business hours but I didn't really care because I was awake and at this point we're well past him acting "professional"). I say "Great. When? Tomorrow? Saturday? Monday?" I'm available. Again, no response until October 15th 11 days later!
At this point you're probably wondering "why even bother with this guy? Why not go to someone, ANYONE else? Well, everyone else was offering solutions costing thousands of dollars and Mark was offering an installation solution under $400 plus $30/month (the DIY instructions are at the bottom). Plus, my current system was working, it's just expensive with an at&t phone line, especially if you aren't under contract. So we make an appointment for October 22nd. The day before the appointment arrives, and I call mark to confirm. He tells me he (and AAA Intercom Systems dba Amark Electric) are now officially out of business because he got a sweet contract with Amazon for $2 million but I can easily order the consumer cellular modem that he would have and have my maintenance crew do what he would have (In a later text message Mark actually told me he just doesn't like traveling out of the city which is probably the real reason he bailed twice but who knows if he'd even make the effort in SF either).
Oh and the "too good to be true" $400 solution? Turns out after ordering the consumer cellular modem for $30 to replace my expensive AT&T landline, and spending a few hours installing it, we find out first through trial and error and then directly from Consumer Cellular that you can't use touch-tone response with their Phone Base landline replacement (like pressing "6" or "#" so your tenant cannot open the door remotely for the guest), so this won't even work for intercom purposes, unless you don't mind not being able to buzz people in.
TLDR: This guy is super unprofessional and totally unreliable. read more
