Testimonials
   
 

When asked how he would rate the clarity of the video footage from his school district’s Gatekeeper Systems the Head Mechanic, Jerry Grimes of Hoosic Valley Central School District in Schaghticoke, NY, responded:

“Overall it’s excellent. I’ve had some problems, but with [their Customer Service] people like Tresson it’s always remedied. I’ve had cameras go . . . but they’ll send me replacements. Service-wise it’s extremely excellent. The last time I sent parts back I got to talk to a person. You know with other companies you get voice mail. But there [at Gatekeeper Systems] it is a living, breathing person. It is one of the few companies . . . it’s made that much of an impression . . . its just nice. I’ve had minor problems but they’ve got it so I can take care of it myself.”
