They've set up 5 of our properties across Placerville, Auburn, Pollock Pines, Plymouth, and Rancho, with and when we need service, they show up. Period. They answer calls, respond to texts, and understand that I'm not exactly the "wait patiently" type when something needs to get handled ... and every single time, they come through. Their security camera systems are high quality and exactly what we needed and are dialed in positioned exactly where they need to be, with easy access from both our office and our cell phones. That level of setup and functionality makes a huge difference in day-to-day operations. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Good people, solid work, and dependable when it matters. Appreciate you guys Eve ~

Alan could have charged me to come out and charged me for the service but was honest and said it may be a simple fix. I will give all my future business to this company

I hired their team for a 6-camera install around the outside of my house. I went over the details…read morewith Mike, the owner, on the phone and he sent his guys out on the next available appointment. Mike said his guys knew their stuff through their experience with all sorts of installs, but I think he should have also advertised their level of effort. I went over the plan with the guys assigned to the job - Matt and Robert. They helped me tweak it in line with their professional opinion, the reality of the install, and how hide the ethernet runs. To my surprised, they offered to and spent the extra time to create runs inside a smaller attic to mount two of the cameras to leave no visible wiring to the device. Check the pictures for a few of the installs. I've given the cameras a few days to soak test against high load and moderately toasty temperatures outside (Lower conductivity and high data traffic to challenge the install.). So far it has worked pretty darn good on the first go. Beyond the install, Mike and the team respected my decision to acquire and manage my own cameras, poe switches, and VMS. They didn't attempt at all to make any sales pitches but did offer to help me acquire cameras if I needed their assistance to do so. I appreciate all of this because I know doing this kind of work for a residential building doesn't provide the best returns for a business and many have stopped offering wired camera install services - including the low voltage installers for my home! On top of that, they do this at a very reasonable price.

Mike is the man! The Camera Guys installed our system a few years back...and I have been super…read morehappy. But a company show there true colors when there is a problem. Long story short, I was having a problem and I called in. Mike took his time and fixed my problem over the phone. Problem fixed!

Vince was excellent. He mounted 2 TVs and was detail oriented, efficient, and careful. He did a…read moregreat job with cable organization as well. I thought his prices were fair and competitive. He also conducted himself professionally. I never got the sense he was trying to upsell unnecessary work. In fact, he provided reasonable options (e.g., buy cables and TV mounts from him, or he could install equipment I brought myself). Prices for his own equipment and cables were good. Going forward, I'll hire him again for more Ethernet networking and security camera installation work. I recommend him! Update 2025-12: I had Vince return for ethernet fixing and security camera installation and he did a phenomenal job. We discussed the different locations for the camera to determine their trade-offs. The whole time, I felt like he was prioritizing what would work for me rather than what was optimal for him. He was professional, friendly, flexible, and patient with great attention to detail. He did an amazing job installing the camera. Will definitely work with him in the future. I recommend him without reservation. He will be our go to for ethernet, TV mounting, home audio, and home security installation.

Vince of First Choice was hands-down excellent in resolving longstanding network issues that I,…read morefrankly, had given up on anyone successfully tackling. Over the years we have had multiple 'experts' try to solve problems, with limited success. Today, I confess, felt like Christmas in May because Vince fixed every issue, focused on each problem and, clearly, was more knowledgeable than anyone we have hired in the past. Next time we need help, we will call Vince. Thank you Vince! --Loretta in Elk Grove

We absolutely loved our experience working with Alex and are still working with him on ongoing…read moreprojects! When we moved into our home, we were told we needed to update our electrical panel, and Alex took the time to walk us through the scope of work and exactly what would be required, at a very fair value. As first-time homebuyers, escrow and the home sale process were incredibly stressful, and Alex was truly compassionate, patient, and understanding throughout the entire process. While we did need to obtain a permit through the City of Folsom and contact SMUD ourselves, Alex handled every other detail seamlessly, even when my husband and I had a million questions. Our project was a bit more complex, and we really appreciated that he consulted another electrician to ensure everything was done correctly and with precision. The work was completed in one day (aside from the stucco work), and we enjoyed working with Alex so much that we asked him to come back to help with additional electrical and general handyman projects, including safely removing items from our walls before painting. We honestly couldn't have gotten through this month without him! We're not done with our home projects yet, but now we have someone we can always call and trust. Thank you, Arsunda!

We couldn't be happier with Alexei's work! From the moment…read morehe arrived at our warehouse, it was clear we were in good hands. Due to a clerical error, our HR team mistakenly submitted the installation request as a residential job instead of a commercial one. Despite the mix-up, Alexei handled everything with patience and professionalism. He worked with us to ensure the billing was corrected fairly and even gave us a generous deal to account for the estimate mistake. The installation itself was flawless thorough, efficient, and incredibly detailed. Alexei went above and beyond by patching up several wall holes at no extra charge, which speaks volumes about his integrity and pride in his work. It's rare to find someone this skilled who also genuinely cares about the customer experience. If you're looking for someone to install security cameras-whether for your home or business-Alexei is the one to call. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we've made, and we now understand why his company comes so highly recommended.

We have had the BEST experience EVER with a security system thanks to Technician ANDY WILLIS! I was…read morean HR Director for over 30 years and only dreamed of an employee such as Andy. He spent so much time making sure every camera we were installing worked perfectly and it was no easy task. He literally had to crawl in our attic and drill many new areas and went over and beyond than any other Technician we have dealt with. If Vivint were to ever lose him, we'd follow him wherever he went. Yes folks that's a fact. His work ethic is stellar and his demeanor is endearing and professional at the same time. We are extremely happy with Vivint! I will be spreading the word on this system and Andy Willis in the future. Thank you!

This company is a joke! I called 2 weeks after I had the equipment installed to cancel. I was told…read moreby the salesperson I had 30 days to cancel if I was not satisfied. That was a lie I only had 3 business days. After three phone calls in three days and three hours later I am unable to cancel.

Great service from beginning to end…read more I recently purchased a new home and had the pre-wire installed so that we could decide on what system to go with at a later time. John gave me his card and I reached out to him several months later when we moved in. He was really helpful in fine-tuning what I needed or didn't need in my system and explored a bunch of different options for me. Once we had decided on picking out a system, I was reached out to by Theresa and she let me know what the process would be like and what i should expect. On the day of the install, Roddy called me in the morning to let me know he was on the way and what time I should expect him by. He came in looked at the area, and told me how long he would take. Throughout this whole process each team member has been very polite, helpful and friendly. You don't see this kind of genuine service very often. You usually get a sale rep trying to up-sell you on things you don't need, a very short and unfriendly phone call from a rep to book an appointment and a tech that just sped

I could call someone in the Placerville area, but I would not risk it given I know Republic Elite offers years of expertise, has affordable prices, addresses needs immediately, and has superb quality! Recently, a mountain lion showed up on my front porch. I contacted the President of Republic Elite, Brian Motheral. He completely understood my needs and set up an appointment to install new cameras with alarms that would go off if a mountain lion showed up again. Which, it did! Thankfully, the alarms Mr. Motheral had his team install, went off loudly, notifying me of activity. The alarm comes on in addition to light's blinking repeatedly. Scared off the mountain lion immediately! Exceptional company to work with. Brian's team is thorough, pleasant to work with, they understand automation needs, and they didn't leave a mess. Excellent company! Call the president, Mr. Brian Motheral as he will understand your needs and address your concerns with quality solutions. Nancy

Above and beyond -- highly recommend…read more Josh promised they'd find a way to get my TV rehung and fully working again, and he absolutely delivered. I had been without a working TV for quite awhile, and Samsung was scheduled to come mid-afternoon today. I was really hoping to be able to watch the 49ers game at 5:00 PM. Josh dispatched Eric and his helper (his delightful and very capable spouse), and they stayed until after 6:30 PM on a Saturday night making sure everything was perfect. They didn't just mount the TV -- they handled all the moving parts: getting the Samsung and Xfinity remotes working correctly, restoring soundbar volume control, troubleshooting connection issues, and reconnecting my Apple TV. Eric's communication was excellent throughout the day and the whole experience was beyond my expectations. Afterward, I looked at their website and realized how many different services they offer -- and that's their edge. You're not hiring "two guys who can hang a TV." You're hiring people who actually know how to make the entire system work together. Before you go with the cheapest estimate, consider everything beyond just hanging it on the wall. This team is worth it. These are the people I'll call every time.
