I love Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Our company has had the pleasure of doing business with many hotels and restaurants including The Hampton Inn Broadway at the Beach and Chic- Fil- A to name a few. We recently demo two cameras to a potential client that wanted to view his business drive way and at the same time capture cameras. In the analog days, you might have had to use 3 - 4 cameras to view what one IP camera can view. Below is a picture of a drive way with one camera with a dual day night lens just like the one we used as a demo.
As we expand through out the state, you will be seeing our equipment in many businesses. If you would like more information, visit us at www.comsurv.com or call us at 8435761422

Ip Cameras in Day / Night Mode Comparison
As we do work in South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida and Virginia we have noticed a few trends from some of our competitors. It is hard to see how the equipment works at night when they get their equipment installed during the day. Customers are excited about the picture quality they get during the day but the next day, when they want to review to see what happened the night before, they get discouraged by the loss of quality the cameras give when viewing during night time. Of course, not all cameras can view during the night hours and we all know that lighting is cameras best friend. But there are many companies that promise excellent night time view by putting little cameras with IR beams which last about a year and then at the end of the road, you get un happy customers. Please view below some pictures of our M12 cameras during the day and during the night. Please note that in order for these cameras to work well at night, some tepy of lighting was provided. (Street lamps and flood light help with the picture)

Security Cameras/ Ip Cameras in Columbia, South Carolina and in Greenville, SC
We had an exciting time in Columbia, Roebuck, Whitmire and Greenville SC last month. We installed a few IP cameras. I love seeing the open mouth as I train customer on these systems. They are captivated by the clarity of what they see. I had a customer tell me that he did not know how much he missed out by not upgrading sooner. As you can see below, the cameras that have a black and white picture are cameras viewing during the night. The truth is the cameras we sell sell themselves. They are amazing and if you are int he market, let me give you a demo of our new technology. You will not regret it!

Do not go with Direct TV... Stay with whatever you have but not buy Direct TV South Carolina/North Carolina
Disclosure: I am not into bringing down businesses. But this provider was completeley dishonest.
Let me share about my experience with Direct TV. I heard, from a few friends that recentrly switched to Direct TV, that Direct TV was cheaper than cable. (The same friends are as frustrated with Direct TV as I am) So I looked into it and gave Direct TV a call. The lady to whom I spoke to was very kind and pleasant. She went through all the packages. Towards the end of our conversation, I thought I had all the information I needed and as I was ready to hang up the lady starting to push about the service. It made me a bit concerned but at the moment I was convinced that Direct TV was the way to go. I asked the lady to repeat the service as I compared it to what I had with cable. I told her that I paid $58 for my digital cable with HD, DVR and all those neet things with Time Warner. She said that with Direct TV I would get over 200 HD channels, DVR and few extra things for $65.00 a month with a 2 year contract. I was, $7 bucks more for that much stuff... I am sold... then she offered a $75 gift card if I singed up today. I was like... I am in. So I said yes and the guy came within a few days to install the unit. He came and told me I could not get any signal due to the trees surrounding my home. I was disapointed but oh well. So I called in customer service and shared what the tech said in which they asked if they can send another tech for a second opinion and they will give me an additional $50 gift card. I thought it was a good deal and I accepted. The tech came, got the channels (So I thought) and I was a happy camper unitl my first month bill. $89.97! So I called customer service to fix the mistake and that is when my whole perseption of Direct TV got distorded. Lets start with the fact that what the lady told me about the monthly payment being $68 for 2 years is not true, it was only for 12 month and then it will go up to $89. Why couldnt they tell me that, why would they lie about such thing? Then I had to sign up for the discount which will reflect my following bill but for now I had to pay the $89. At the same time, the lady said that when I signed up that I was only promised a $50 gift card and a $25 gift card for the re attempt of installation. I was like, what the heck? These people lied to me about the amounts and now they say I am bound to a contract that I do not even have (At the time of the conversation) and if I wanted to cancel (This happended 2 days after I got the actual satelite service) I had to pay $480.
To all my readers. Do not fall into the lie. Time Warener Cable is way less expensive and is way better. Custoemr service is 100% a disasater with Direct TV. They do not hear the concerns like mine and told be I was not telling the truth. Now, I am going to pay about $500 more for Direct TV for a less quality and service product than the one I had with Time Warner. And when it came to the gift cards, I am still waiting.... It is so sad.
It is sad that there is businesses out there that lure individuals with lies and deception and then claim you are being disnhonest and try to get you with their lies.
DO NOT BUY DIRECT TV>>>> IF YOU DO< YOU WILL GET DECEIVED!

IP Cameras and NVR are replacing Analog Cameras and DVR across South Carolina
The fact is that IP video surveillance is far more advance than any analog camera or digital recorder system. That is why many companies, hotels and business are upgrading to IP cameras. But not only IP cameras, as many IP cameras do not provide high quality video, but the NVR system are so much flexible than our old traditional DVR systems. Have you thought about have the cameras at work but the NVR at home? It is possible now days. We even offer storing the data on our many servers at CSS. Our line of cameras and NVR at CSS provide you with video resolution up to 5 mega pixels. Mobotix being one of our main supplier, give us a resolution of up to 3.2 mega pixel at 4 FPS. Check some of our cameras in action.

Security Cameras at Convenient Store in Rock Hill, SC
We installed as a demo an IP camera at a convenient store in Rock Hill, SC. Our logo is "Seeing is believing." You will believe once you see the video clarity on the pictures below. Please note the picture with the man in the back. You can zoom into the image and keep the video clarity. That man is about 30 feet from the camera. In this demo, we used a 3.2 Mega Pixel Mobotix Ip Camera with a Geovision NVR unit. Even though the mobotix camera has an internal DVR, we used a geovision for user ease and recording. Enjoy the pictures.
