Very poor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Third party was the absolute worse to do this job. They ended up putting holes in my ceiling, just a very bad experience. I highly recommend find your own help or workers to do any job for you.

Horrible install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Subcontractors sent for install and wires up the outside of house. Looks like a spiderweb! After having security system removed from Best Buy they still have wires left on house! Horrible and disgusting.

This was one of the worst experiences of my life!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to move furniture and other things for them to install these cameras. for FOUR days in a row I moved furniture to get set up for their arrival , Each day they called up and canceled. After four days of this I got MAD, and cancelled the deal. I called Best Buy to see what they were going to do about this situation , and they were not concerned, I will not deal with Best Buy AGAIN!!! And they do not care!!. I have bought a lot of stuff from Best Buy, Never Again!!! They do not care about my business!

Terrible set up
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The guys Best Buy contracted to install my system were clueless... I’m just upset because after seeing what they did, I could have installed them myself... I practically walked them thru the installation process.. if your house is pre wired, save your money and install it your self

Great Installation
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buys Geek Squad installed the Swann security system which included nine high definition cameras each with audio. They did an excellent job, system works great. They had to do the install running cables in a very hot attic during the summer. They were very friendly and helpful. Before leaving they made sure the system was up and running without any problems.

Couldn't perform installation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first time BestBuy sent installers out they were only wireless camera installers and couldn't do our wired camera installation. The second time the wired installers came out but said they couldn't work on two-story houses (which there are a lot of). The third time was supposed to be canceled but instead a different pair of wired installers should up who also couldn't do anything except by showing up way too early before we were ready. Just a complete waste of time and money. They second installers said they would ask for a Home Advisor to come out and based on our house and what we want covered give a recommendation as to what system to buy that they could install. Still waiting to here from someone.
