Great products and customer support.
Really geared up for installers.
Telephone support and zippy desktop remote configuration are a real asset, used now on numerous occasions.

5 stars+

A bit difficult to make contact but once I managed that the service was superb. Changing from a BT home hub to a 4G router running on Three mobile was never going to be an easy job but Phil set to and an hour later we have all the CCTV cameras visible on phones, laptops and PC. Most impressed. The Alien system is very user friendly and simple to use and this level of support is icing on the cake. 5 stars +.

Had a bit of trouble setting up I-pad pro to the system. I found Phil from technical very helpful. It's nice to know you have a great product with great technical back up which instilled more confidence in these great designs.

After a recommendation from a friend i contacted this company for advice on a CCTV system.
From start to finish the whole experience was easy.
The staff made me feel at ease and they have excellent knowledge and experience .
The after sales service and technical advice again excellent.
The system was simple to install and the staff simply dialled into my system and set all the parameters and remote viewing.
If you want to buy/install CCTV these are the people to go to.

Fantastic service, equipment and support

I have used this company for all my DVR equipment as I have found it the best to use and reliability, the service is second to none. I have also on occasions needed support and on every occasion it was fantastic service. on my last support requirement Phil helped me and save me no end of time by sorting my query there and then it also saved a little embarrassment for me. Thank you

Excellent products and service

Our company has been dealing with System Q for a number of years now. The quality of the products are second to none and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. We had a recent battle with port forwarding a Sky router and called the Technical department. Phil Barnes took over and remotely configured the router for us. Saved the day, we now have a very happy client!

Stil the best by far…

we have been a customer of System Q for umpteen years now and whilst we are not a big spender by any means we are always treated as a valued customer and benefit from excellent and attentive customer service as a consequence. all staff that we have encountered have been approachable, friendly and equally as importantly, knowledgeable on the product and professional in approach.

Excellent CCTV supplier

Excellent CCTV supplier, products work 100% right out of the box, their back up technical service is just a phone call away with experienced engineers on hand to answer your problems with in about 20 seconds of calling them. Plus there mobile phone apps for their DVR and NVRs work very well, with extremely few missed connections.

Happy to sell you goods but not so good when goods are faulty. Very poor customer service and when you point it out to them; they simply put you on stop. I spent hours fault finding their equipment because they insisted that goods were fully checked only to find the camera faulty but then extremely slow to replace. Complained that I needed a replacement asap and then was told that i couldnt buy from them again.

15/10/18. The following day after posting the above I was contacted and asked if they provided the missing CCTV screws and reinstated the account, would that make everything better. It would have at least enabled me to install the last camera and purchase spares if necessary. However since that call I havent received anything and so can only assume that the account is also on hold. Strange really when I am reminded that negative reviews jeapordise 30 persons jobs but you cant be that bothered to send 4 screws out. I have now found a much better company to purchase our CCTV equipment from.

Good support.

Really happy with the service, information and help received.
I spoke to Phil in technical support and he guided me through the majority of the set up. Extreme patience shown by Phil as am a bit of a duffer when it comes to IP. Far happier with complex fire alarm systems.
Happy with the equipment sent too.

Thank you

I have to say was very confused by the various negative comments relating to the company System Q and the back up. I have been in the Cctv industry for over 35 years , when Cctv was black and white and we had VHS recorders. I personally have worked for the first major installer of Cctv both as an engineer and as a national account sales manager and over the last 20 years as an independent installer,
Over the years I have tried many suppliers and as a sole trader you need reliable equipment and more importantly reliable back up , for the last 10+ I have used System Q , which is where I start to get confused by some of the reviews. Over the last 5 years I have installed over 20 alien dvr’s and in excess of 300 cameras, over this period yes a couple of hard drives failed and I have probably swooped out 10 cameras but never had any major problems and any I have are sorted out within 24 hours,
I don’t know of any other company that you can ring up at 5.00 , order kit and get it on site the next day at no cost, and it carries your company logo, the sales team are exemplary in particular Lisa and Philip and they know the products . Karl and Philip in accounts are sympathetic to people like me who when you are a sole trader understand the problems we sometimes face.
Personally I think that System Q tick all the right boxes and for someone like me that wants an easy fault free life perfect.....
And after 35 years in Cctv I still get the buzz when you switch it all on and everything works
