Most of our work now in CCTV is mid- to high-end installs, and our customers love us. We also work alongside a networking outfit and a couple of A/V companies that do some seriously skookum stuff for one of those customers. There are definitely some good outfits doing this stuff... but there are a lot of trunk slammers floating about, some of them under some pretty recognizable names, doing hack jobs that I've had to clean up later.
Our biggest customer right now, we got largely because their previous provider - also a well-known name - totally slacked off on service and simply weren't interested in meeting their needs as they moved into other areas.
Another former customer (major national company) is now being serviced (so to speak) by our competitor, and the sites themselves all hate it because of the terrible service and shitty installs, but they came to some kind of sweetheart deal at the higher levels (we've had to "clean up" after them a few times after their techs fucked up other systems that we still handle).
Meanwhile, one of that customer's competitors has been shifting all their work from our competitor to us, specifically because they love our work.
