Excellent service and alarm system

AMCO recently fitted our alarm system and provided an excellent service both in terms of installation and the quality of the system itself. Special thanks to our fitter Maiwand, who was very professional, diligent and helpful!

Rapid response

After we reported an issue with a certain camera and log in fault due to switching broadband,, we had a rapid response and was sent out an engineer by the name of Faisal. We found him to be extremely courteous, approachable and diligent. Although it was his last job of the day,, knowing he had to drive along way home,, he made sure we was back up and running.

Highly professional customer service from Faisal

Highly professional customer service from Faisal as always. He treats your house with the utmost respect and works carefully and with precision. He fitted a new battery to our alarm system and replaced a door sensor accidently damaged during some home renovations. At our request, he discussed options for upgrading our alarm system clearly with associated outline costs.

Philip was an excellent technician

Philip was an excellent technician. He worked quickly and efficiently and explained what our problems were. He was very friendly and helpful and carried out the work in a professional manner. We would be very pleased to see Philip again. He is a credit to the company.

The Engineer

The Engineer - Faisal was so helpful. He took his time to explain the system to me, wasn't in a rush despite it was the holiday period. I'd recommend him over and over again

Needs improvements

Rather disappointed.
These are the pros and cons, but ultimately I wouldn't use them again.

I called them initially early november or end of october to do two things
1) Install a new alarm system
2) maintain the CCTV cameras,
they said they'll call me back, it took a week for that to happen. When it happened, the appointment was only for the 18th of December, which got cancelled the night before, as the engineer was off sick. Understandable, but they need covers as the job is whole day, so you need time off from work. Esp that it was very close to xmas, I got another appointment for the 23rd (quite an awful time, but I was leaving the house over xmas period and needed this sorted out before I did, the area isn't safe, and a house few doors down was broken into over xmas).

The engineer came, and did the alarm installation, nice and polite guy, got the new system setup within the time period. Unfortunately, the second job couldn't be completed because my recorder was down, I was hoping he can still tell me if the cameras are working by either coming with his test equipment that he can plug in instead of my broken one, or get up to the cameras and check. He didn't come with test equipment, nor with a ladder to the cameras, so that was a job paid for but not done!
He said "the guy over the phone said he'll call you", he didn't, so I emailed, and the response was "oh we'll call you after speaking to the engineer", its now been nearly 2 months, nothing back about it, and I still don't have working cameras. Frustrating.

Police knocked on my door on the 27th of December asking if they can see the footage, I had nothing working, so I had to turn them down. Quite upsetting, as the house that was broken into is only 3 houses down.

What's worse is that I don't have control of the new alarm system they've setup, if I need to replace the pin number, I need to call them, give them the new pin number for them to set it !!!! Tell me how insecure my security system is !! Its like sharing your password with a stranger online. If this is in MY HOUSE, I need to have full control of my security system. Until they fix this, I wouldn't recommend their alarm system. With their poor aftercare on the CCTV cameras, I wouldn't recommend them either for that.
