Spy Store

I own a real estate storefront in the West Village.
I was having trouble with other brokers approaching potential customers looking at my window and trying to steal my leads.
In one of these incidents, I confronted the scumbag that was trying to steal, and it almost got violent. The other broker put up his fists to fight me, but I was able to defuse the situation and was able to protect myself legally.
I stopped by the spy store to get cameras and microphones to have proof just in case these idiots were making a problem. I knew my staff and I could buy the equipment at Home Depot or on Amazon and install it our selves, but we were busy with our regular work. I thought that if I hired a professional, I would save time and avoid any learning curve mistakes. I also wanted to support other small businesses.
So, I went to the Spy Store and payed them $ 1250 to install one camera, a DVR and a microphone. They promised me it would be no problem for me to watch the videos from my laptop. They then asked for the complete payment upfront.
The first guy they sent was terrible. He drilled holes into my storefront but did not clean up the sawdust after he was finished. He stared at women walking by the store in a very awkward manner. He would stand at the front door and smoke cigarettes and the secondhand smoke will come inside my office. Despite his hour and a half long installation, the video feed still would not work.
So, they sent someone else, and this person took multiple computers in my office without asking my permission and downloaded applications and other things. The told me that everything was finished, but it wasn’t.
I was still unable to access the video remotely. There are still numerous problems with the security video, which after more phone calls they came back to fix. The biggest problem is that the fast-​forward function did not work and it it took well over 40 seconds to watch 60 seconds of footage in fast forward mode.
When I called to complain about this, they said that was the best anyone could offer. When i mention that the fast forwarding could be quicker, in a similar manner to fast forwarding with YouTube and Netflix, instead of making things better, they responded rudely and unprofessionally by telling me in a sarcastic tone, that I should call Netflix and ask them how to do it. Then, after many phone calls, the Spy store said that I needed a cord to go from my DVR box to my computer. They told me that they don’t have this cord and they refuse to finish the job.
They also said it was OK to set up a microphone and listen to people on the street as long as you put up a small sign that says that you are audio recording them. My lawyers said that this is not true and that anyone who gets audio recorded can sue me for violating their privacy on the street. They gave me wrong legal information that could have potentially caused me or my business to get sued.
I tried to save myself some time by hiring professionals and I chose the wrong company. When I told them I was going to write an honest bad review on Unilocal,they threatened to make up fake profiles and wright bad reviews about me to ruin my business. So, as it stands, I completely regret setting foot in THE SPY STORE. My personal experience could not have been any worse.

Just buy it online and save 80 percent. Ripoff

I absolutely LOVED this place! As a diamond dealer it is extremely important for me to have excellent security and camera. Not only did Spy Store take time in showing me different cameras while working in my budget but they also set it up. I have used them two times before and each time they are fantastic. I have a rental home and needed cameras to ensure tenants were not entering my basement. Also, while I was there I overheard a woman who called and the man Bob was telling her he sent her a camera and was explaining how she would know the difference. It sounded weird as he was describing it so I asked him why he didnt just say «grey wire» or black wire etc etc and he said she was blind. I was touched as to the level he went to in order to insure she would know the difference. I recommend these guys to everyone I know. Love them.
To the reviewer Bryan A… I doubt the spy store did 63 reviews (as did the reviewer who also gave them great review and very comprehensive I might say) in order to give themselves a «positive» review. You, on the other hand give no detail of your experience and you have only done one review. It is you who looks suspect.

Avoid! This place will rip you off. Look elsewhere in town (Brickhouse, Spy Tech, etc) and you will find honest and competent salespeople who will get you the same products for far less $$. Sadly I am speaking from experience. Never again will I go here.
And by the way it’s fairly obvious the one «positive» «review» posted here was written by the store owners.

So you know your boyfriend is cheating on you, but want to confirm your suspicions? Are you in a situation where your wife is filing for divorce, but want to build up a case against that raging ho to decreasing your alimony? Perhaps you are a paranoid schizo who refuses to take the meds your evil doctor, who is also working with THE MAN, prescribed and is certain that Big Brother bugged all your phones and has you under constant surveillance?
