This is just a guess on my part but .....

There a lots of "companies" who would like to get into the "security"
business. They may start out as an installing company who would like
to expand into some kind of distribution business, not realizing or
not understanding that they're competeting with Mega distributors.
They believe that the little alarm companys will rather do business
with them than with the Mega distributors. This is true to some
extent. One of the avenues they try is sales over the Internet and
utimately to end  users. The end user thing usually turns off the
intalling companys who "might" buy from them. There are some that have
been around for awhile tapping business from other areas also, such
as: installations and over the counter and Internet sales, for a
number of years. But in my experience they ultimately fail.

I don't know why you've chosen this particular company out of the
hundreds around but if you're an end user, DIY'er, and the price is
right, the only risk you are taking by doing business with companys
like this is their warranty policy and possibly, in their need to make
the sale, but being removed from you ...... their lack of information
or lack of  true concern for providing you with what you really need
to do the job. Technical support might be an issue also but you can
usually find technical help from other sources.

In a nut shell it amounts to ..... If you don't know exactly what you
want .... and they can't actually see the application ........ you
very likely are not going to get what you want.

If you don't know the intricacies of CCTV cameras I'd strongly suggest
that you do some substantial research before you attempt to purchase
equipment. You can be led to buy equipment that doesn't do what you
want simply because you don't know what questions to ask. Also, most
lay people expect much more from CCTV systems than they can provide.

There's a distinct advantage to calling in an experienced installer.
