Save $$ by installing Video Surveillance

Not only is this bad spam... but it's _100% INCORRECT_ (really just a flat out lie from a spammer).

"I didn't know this until today," and 'I work with customers everyday who tell me how much they saved on their insurance premiums". Well, which lie are you going to stick with?

I am not a spammer and forgive me if I didn't write my post very well. I was contacted by a customer about a surveillance system and the customer told me that they were going to save $3000 on their insurance by having a surveillance system. I posted this trying to find out if that information was true or not. If it is not true that is fine, I just wanted to know.

Oh and in the effort to better understand insurance, can anyone explain why it is "100% incorrect" for someone to save money by installing cameras in their home/business? I don't know anything about insurance which is why I came to this forum.

Sorry, I thought you were the owner of Exwatchpro, next to Grinders on S State Street. What business are you in then, that a customer would mention an insurance discount given by his carrier for video cameras and why would you choose to post a URL to a new business out of millions of others? Certainly a site that has only been up for a few days would not have any search engine rank to speak of.

I've never known an insurance company to give a discount for having video. I've seen it help allow the carrier to underwrite and issue a policy... but never to give a discount.

Who was this person insured with?

I don't have a new web site, and I do work for EZWatchPro next to Grinders, but I am jsut a lowly employee trying to do a better job.

The customer just called me and asked if I could send out a system to him overnight so it could be installed before the insurance company did an inspection on his business and that way he would save $3000 on his 6-month premium. He was in Texas but did not mention the name of the insurance company, and I did not ask for it as I didn't think it was my business. It seemed strange so this is why I am asking the questions I am asking.

I don't know if companies give discounts for that kind of thing or not. If companies do give discounts, then that is good information for my customers. That is why I put up a poll asking if surveillance systems are good investments for insurance reasons. If companies don't give discounts for this kind of thing then the information I got from my customer was wrong and I need to know that so I don't give bad information to other customers.

Thank you for your information on this as I literally know nothing about insuring businesses or homes. (I live in an apartment)

If I offended someone by posting the company website here I apologize. I don't deal with forums so I didn't think it was a problem and I probably should read throught the posting rules more thoroughly.

I don't know about all the cameras etc...I do know that I get a 10% discount off of my homeowners policy because I have a monitored alarm system.
