I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I was just trying to figure out what exactly he wants. I have 4 good integrators in the SE Michigan area that I could potentially refer for him, but I know that at least one of them wouldn't be interested in a design-only job.

@NotoriousBRK, I you re-read my post you will notice that I mention IT'S NOT SET IN STONE THAT WE PROVIDE & INSTALL EQUIPMENT. If the person or company working with us is willing to do that at a price within our budget, be our guest to do it all. We just want to make sure that it's a win-win situation for both parties.

it may be best to let people know what your budget is. as far as i can tell from your limited spec. is you need more than a cctv company. you also need a company with a licenced for fire in that state.

you may also find that any company you use. are going to want to work with the products they know. at the end of the day it is there company name that is getting used.


you must have worked out some sort of budget with your customer. do you not have some drawings or anything just to see the size of job. 1 size of cctv system 2 size of fire detection system 3 door entry systems.

Personally, I think this is a dead end street and this guy is a timewaster looking for a cheap deal or just burning time trolling the forum. There are plenty or resourses in his state to get the job done, so he need look there if he is for real. After all, he did claim to have access to all the harwdware in a previous post. Let him ask these contacts.

I think it is time for one of the mods to lock/delete this thread.

I created this thread so that interested people can PM me and talk one-to-one, instead of bashing the limited details I've provided here. Things like personal contact info and budget are somethings that aren't wise to post publicly.

@Tailbone215: No, my goal is not to find a cheap deal but rather a quality integrator who really wants business. You very well could use your valuable time to contact me directly instead of wasting your time bashing this post publicly and asking administrators to delete it. This is a perfectly viable post for Classifieds category. And yes, I am aware that there are other security companies in MI and I have contacted them. But, who doesn't like to shop around? I guess you don't! When was the last time you went to a real estate agent and told him you were looking to buy the biggest home possible for $2,000,000? Now that this agent knows your budget, do you really think he's gonna use that to the best interest of his client? I don't think so! Not sure the type of business you run but I'm trying to do just what any other sensible business person would. So, stop kidding yourself.

pupdogg. thanks for your pm. dont take this the wrong way. Give up on this job. you dont know how to price a job and its going to give you problems from the very start.

pupdogg. the budget you sent .... you cant even buy a standard Dvr. (just the dvr)
