I put a positive review on here almost three years ago when my system was new and I am just as…read moresatisfied with it as I was then. There has never been a fault in my camera setup in these three years. The reason I write again is that we replaced our laptop computers this year, and needed service to help set the software up. The company runs lean, and they do not have a normal "help desk" when you call, so you don't always get an answer or help immediately, but I still give them five stars because they care about your experience with this and they make up for it once you get their highly competent technician on your case. Joe set up the software on two computers in only a couple of minutes and it feels like these cameras are sturdy and will continue running through at least a few generations of computers. If I ever want more coverage or upgrades, I would stay with this service.

I recently contacted Mar Vista Security and Intercom Systems about upgrading our call box. My…read moreinitial plan involved spending around $3000 on new hardware and installation to go from land line to cell-based, plus dealing with an ongoing monthly bill of over $50. But Jack turned that around completely with some fantastic advice over the phone. Instead of pushing for an expensive upgrade, Jack recommended switching our land line provider from AT&T to Spectrum. This simple change would save us over $300 per month without needing to touch any of our existing equipment--and he didn't charge a dime for the consultation! We're talking $30 a month for a business landline with Spectrum versus the whopping $360 we were paying AT&T. Thanks to his pointer, Spectrum is coming out tomorrow to handle the switch and finally rid us of that overpriced service. What really sets Jack apart is that he was the only one out of several companies I contacted who actually suggested this smart solution. The others either ghosted me or tried to upsell unnecessary work. Jack's honesty and willingness to help, even if it meant no immediate business for him, speak volumes about his integrity. If we ever decide to upgrade the system or add cameras in the future, Mar Vista will be my first call. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way!

No sitting in a car, they were standing and actively walking around the premises. It was well worth it for the peace of mind, and we would definitely use them again.

As someone who was new to firearms, I really appreciated how Edwin took the time to explain firearm safety, walk me through the hands-on portion, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The range portion was my first time ever at a range, and Edwin made it a very positive and educational experience. I've been in the security industry for over 13 years, and obtaining my exposed license was an important next step in my career. Edwin provided the knowledge and confidence I needed to take that step responsibly. I highly recommend Meridian Security Group to anyone looking to obtain a security license.

WARNING TO SECURITY GUARDS & CLIENTS: UNLICENSED / WAGE THEFT OPERATOR…read more DO NOT WORK FOR OR HIRE JOSH DIAS / GHOST SECURITY. This operation is run by Josh Dias under the name "Ghost Security." If you are a licensed security guard, stay far away. Ghost Security, Inc. (California PPO License #121744), operated by Josh Dias, is actively engaging in a systemic pattern of willful wage theft, labor law evasion, and retaliatory intimidation targeting security professionals. Irrefutable text evidence from multiple employees proves that Josh Dias intentionally misclassifies professional security guards as "1099 independent contractors" to illegally evade state payroll taxes, dodge mandatory workers' compensation insurance, and refuse legally required daily overtime and double-time rates. When I explicitly questioned about standard W-2 onboarding for a grueling 14-hour shift, Josh stated in writing, "No way I'm doing double pay ot. That would be suicide to my business," openly admitting that he prioritizes personal profit over state laws. This is not an isolated incident; his standard operating procedure across multiple guards involves scheduling punishing shifts lasting 12, 13, 15, and 16 hours straight, and then actively withholding their paychecks. The moment an employee asks to meet up to collect their hard-earned money, Josh routinely ignores calls, blocks their numbers, locks them out of company scheduling apps, and ghosts them entirely. When caught text-messaging from an unblocked phone line, he immediately resorts to toxic gaslighting and verbal abuse--asking employees if they have "mental issues" simply for demanding their wages--and even attempts to intimidate me into silence with empty, fraudulent threats of a "$25k lawsuit". Property owners, commercial clients, and HOAs need to be aware that hiring this, non-compliant operation invites catastrophic vicarious liability onto their premises if a guard is injured on site. To all exploited workers: do not let his bullying scare you, hold onto your text receipts, file an immediate wage theft claim with the California Labor Commissioner's Office (DLSE), and submit a priority disciplinary complaint directly to the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) to get PPO License #121744 audited and revoked permanently.
