Mike and the team at Digital Systems do the highest quality work you can find in this space. So far, I've done three projects - a large installation A/V and wifi set across 7 zones from scratch, my garage deck outdoor A/V set up, and a control 4 based electronic lock for my front gate. The equipment, installation, and software are best in class and you can be sure that they will deliver a reliable, premium setup for any project on schedule. Even other service providers that I've had to work on a Philips Hue installation, for example, have noted the impressive quality of work from Mike's team. Mike is available all the time on text and e-mail and just as important his team not only have incredible expertise (there's a lot of programming, it's not just mounting and running wires behind a wall for many projects) but they are respectful of your home and instructive in how to use any app, remote, etc. I have zero concerns about anyone with digital systems entering, working, and locking up around my home, even if I'm out of town.
I've used maybe 5 such firms across a couple homes in the past 10 years, and there is a difference here. Google and Amazon et al based systems do not the have supporting equipment and service expertise required for a reliable, premium set up. If you're comparing estimates and Digital Systems looks 5-10% higher which was my initial reaction in my first project, I write this review mostly to let others know from my experience that the quality and reliability of the equipment and installation, the available functionality to meet any capability requirement you have, and the optimization of your set up will quickly make it both the most cost efficient and highest end option available among any I've found around Chicago. . read more
