Installation from Hell

We were referred to someone from a subsidiary of Lorex called US Install (although if you call their number now you'll find out they are called Lorex Install). An installer came to the house to do a site visit. We had to pay for this.

The guy couldn't figure out how to install this camera system. He spent over 45 minutes going through our house, scratching his head, say "hrrrm, I wonder how we can do this?" I talked him throught it, gave him some ideas and we decided on a rough sketch of how this would be installed.

We purchased a system that comes with wires, which would require drilling holes through the wall. I asked about the wireless systems and was told the picture quality sucked basically.

Anyway, a few days later we are told another inspector is coming out because the other guy was fired! So now we're worried that the other guy is going to break into our house because he was in our house and basically knows how to get in.

Fortunately, that didn't happen but we did have to deal with scheduling the next guy to come in. This next guy turned out to be a real peach (SARCASM).
