A good Security Camera Installer is going to take the time to answer each question thoroughly for you. You will need to have a solid understanding of what you will be able to see and do with your system as well as what you will not be able to do.

- Are you licensed, bonded and insured?
- Can you provide written proof if needed?
- How many of these types of installations have you done before?
- Do you have references from previous customers that can be called?
- Can you provide pictures of cabling, mounting and camera placement that you have previously done?
- What certifications do you have or awards have you won?
- What type of warranty do you provide?
