Hi guys,
If you one of those who have just started a family, have a toddler, you probably would have thought of installing a CCTV system at home so you can remotely monitor whats happening at home.
Few months ago i did just that. I engaged Innotec although their quote is highest (a lot of hidden cost) because they seemed to have a healthy client base as claimed in their website. I paid more to get the system can be remotely viewed through my Iphone.
From day 1, I have intermitent problems. One moment you can view through the iphone, next moment you cant, until I go home turn on my computer, and it goes back to normal. That is not what they told me, it is supposed to be independant from my PC, if not i would have bought an IP camera at a very small fraction of that price.
Last week, i wrote a service request on their website. A guy called me and claimed that its my singtel mio box that is giving me the problem, because that router automatically changes my IP address blah blah. WHY did they not inform me during installation? he said he will arrange someone to come and do for me again, i just need to get a new router, they handle the rest.
10 mins later, a lady called. she told me its chargeable. I made it clear i am not going to pay a cent because it was them who did not setup that thing properly. LOOK : i paid extra for the recorder that can be viewed via Iphone. SO if my Mio box will cause this problem, you guys should have informed me during or before the installtion! WHY else would i pay for the system if it doesnt work???
she said ok, i will get someone to call you. ITS been a week, NO ONE called! when i made a service request, they responded in 2 days , maybe because if its chargeable, there is money to be made? Since they find out i am not going to pay, NOBODY bother to call.
I have made another complain to them, i will see how they respond. I will keep you guys posted on what happens from now.
Meanwhile, think about who you want to engage for the services, because it is not cheap. It cost me way more than 2k, and look at the kind of service i am getting.
