Because of the nature of our operation, I was looking for high-quality equipment and overall service and was willing to pay to receive it. After reviewing.my needs with a handful of providers with good reviews, I chose Settler because my conversation with Nelson inspired confidence. As expected, I was pleased with all aspects of the process. What I did not expect, however, was that I would receive products and service that exceeded my lofty expectations at an extremely competitive price. Nelson was transparent throughout the process and helped me select high-quality equipment that met my specific needs while staying within my budget. I was also surprised by the level of operational support provided. Nelson showed me how to use all of the features, but he also set up a number of parameters in advance based on our original discussion without requiring further input. And that support did not stop once the products were installed and the final invoice issued. I am still receiving support on a regular basis. Anytime I have questions, answers are a quick phone call away. Finally, due to my own oversight, my were entirely unreasonable. Nevertheless, met them, and then some, installing my entire less than 48 hours after our initial conversation.

When we decided to upgrade our home security system, we wanted to ensure we didn't have a repeat of…read morethe bad experience we had the first time around. We checked out three companies and Al and Justin were the only company willing to stop by after a job they were working on. They listened to what we wanted and Al (owner) provided a bid the following day. After evaluating the other two bids, it was clear we needed to go with DFWCVS. Not just because of price, but service, care, good communication and quality equipment. Al and Justin arrived on time to do the install and set to work. Since we were replacing the entire system and moving some of the cameras to better locations (thank you Al), they were around all day. They worked hard and I could tell, they worked well together. Al kept us informed at all times on where they were with the install. There was one small hiccup when Justin slipped in the attic and accidentally caused some damage to our kitchen ceiling. Justin and Al felt so bad about the accident, but we kept telling them, it was an accident and we were thankful nobody got hurt. Al took action and worked on getting a repairman to come over to access the damages. Luckily, we have a neighbor that owns his own painting company and he came over and gave Al a bid. The repair work was finished a few days later. You couldn't tell it was ever damaged . Al and Justin were finishing up some work for us and were relieved to see how well it had turned out. Al took care of everything and was hired by our neighbor for some security work. A new relationship was made. Win win. We can't speak highly enough about the integrity of this company. You don't see many companies that stand behind their work like Al and Justin. They are great to work with and we couldn't be happier with our security camera system. You won't regret working with DFW Custom Video Surveillance, I promise!

People wield meager amounts of time outside their professional and personal lives, so why face-to-face with an aggressive--or even rude storefront employee? You don't have to--at least with installing a security system--or mounting a television/wiring a custom audio system. Well, the gentleman (Love) who owns this business resets all the negativity against declining customer service--providing a stellar experience that tops all others. If brick and mortar stores could pivot--then reinvent themselves to centralize around integrity and compassion like Love, you'd see a market-take-back develop against the online conglomerates. Hey Evil Corp! We're looking at you and your online sales!! Elliot is coming for yah! Ha! His prices are going to be difficult to beat, I guarantee that. It was only $300 for a custom fireplace mount on our LG OLED and Sony sound bar. Best Buy and two other mounting companies were $300+ just for the standard fireplace mount. No amount of fresh pine nuts would convince a squirrel to pay that ! So, give yourself a break and give him a jingle from your iPhone or Android--then sit back and let him do his thing. Heck--grab a tasty beverage and have a convo with him! Love (his name) is simply the best, and supporting a small business is how we (as 'Mericans) can bolster the economy in our great state of Texas! 4/15/17 Had Love come back out for an outdoor TV mount set up.

I felt so confident in their work that I had them quote a second job for my elderly mother -- and they were able to do it the same day! Unlike larger companies that send out generic, automated quotes, DW Surveillance took the time to visit my home in person, assess the layout, and have a real conversation with me about what I needed. It was refreshing to deal with real people instead of a bot. When you're having security cameras installed, trust is everything -- and I felt completely at ease with them. They went above and beyond, even climbing into my attic and discovering a bug infestation I had no idea about. As a widow who's not comfortable getting up there myself, they kindly took care of it with some spray I had on hand. That kind of thoughtfulness and care is rare these days. Throughout the entire installation, I felt comfortable -- which isn't always the case with strangers in your home. Honestly, if I'd had groceries on hand, I probably would've made them lunch! That's how great the experience was. Their pricing was in line with other quotes I received, but the service was far superior. I love supporting small, up-and-coming businesses like this because they truly care about their work and their customers. They even told me not to hesitate to reach out if I had any questions about the Ring app or adjusting the zones they set up for me. Amazing service, fantastic team, and just genuinely good people. Highly recommended -- FIVE STARS!
