The Franchisee
Gandolfo’s
Many of Add Tech’s customers have multiple locations. As a business owner is it extremely difficult to strike a balance between work, family, play and work. At Add Tech we strive to make that balance a little easier.
Tad is a customer who immediately benefitted from the Franchisee package. As owner of several sandwich shops; he typically spent an hour or more at each of his delis each day, and of course when there were problems he was there longer. He wanted to spend more time expanding his business and less time managing. Tad had also noticed that when he was at certain locations business ran like clockwork, but slowed when he wasn’t there.
As Tad searched for that balance he was referred by an associate to Add Tech. Friendly representatives explained how a surveillance system could help him spend less time traveling from one site to another and keep an eye on all of his locations at once. This was of course the ideal solution; he could be at home with his family and still be in all Delis at the same time. For Tad it was an easy choice to save travel expenses, insurance costs, have more time with his family, and still keep tabs on his business.
After installing four Franchisee packages Tad said “I am extremely satisfied. Now I can spend more time running my business, and not running around my business.
Tad has also found that his employees are on their best behavior, and when they’re not, a quick phone call can typically straighten everything out. “I can’t believe how effective this has been. I’ve saved money and loads of time. I wish I had done this months ago!”
Apartment Complex
Add Tech was contacted and asked to bid a video surveillance system for an apartment Your browser may not support display of this image.complex in Central Utah. After a preliminary conversation, the owner decided that the Remote viewing capability of the WiLife system was exactly what the she needed. It was a large complex with five separate apartment buildings, a club house, and a large parking lot.
The system was quoted for just over $6000.00. Add Tech later found that providing the same video coverage using a “competing” system would have cost the owner over $12,000.00. This included some quality analog components but would also include overhead cables run to each of the four remote cameras. The Security installer would run underground cables for an additional sum because of the headache of tearing up the parking lot.
With the Add Tech system up-and-running 24/7, Management has enjoyed the ability to log-in online and view the complex while away. To help monitor the complex at night, they also use Scheduled Alerts, which notify them of any activity between 11:00 PM to 4:30 AM.
Fortunately, no notable incidents have occurred since the installation. But the land owner feels confident he has all the bases covered if something were to happen because of the Add Tech system.
India House
Gill and his family own a small Indian restaurant that has become a lunchtime favorite for local businessmen.
Gill knew the India House needed more than security cameras, he needed a way for his cooks to see what was happening in the dining area and check the buffet without disturbing the clientele. He also wanted to be able to monitor the system form his upstairs office.
“The decision to work with Add Tech was easy, they showed me that their system had more features and supplied a quote that was thousands of dollars less than the other surveillance companies. They even showed me how to save on my insurance premiums”
The Franchisee’s six cameras easily covered the restaurant and parking lot. By adding a remote monitor the employees can keep an eye on their customers and maintain the professional atmosphere India House is known for.
“Now that I have it, I don’t know what I would do without it!”

The Brick'n Mortar
Coffee Creations
Cindy owns and operates a very successful local Coffee shop. She was concerned about the safety of her teenage employees, till shortages, and the operation of her investment. Her husband is a Detective in the local Police Department and knew firsthand the value of a good video surveillance system. Cindy began to ask around and several surveillance companies were referenced, fortunately Add Tech was referred with high marks.
As her husband is a Detective; video quality was of special importance. “In my line of work we look at a lot of surveillance video, but I have never seen a system less that cost less than $10,000 with this kind of video. The frame rate is nice and smooth, no choppy video or missed events. I can’t say enough about Add Tech’s professional placement. I can easily identify any individual that comes in the store.”
The Brick’nMortar was a perfect fit for this shop. With one camera on the drive in, back room, POS system and lounge area. “At first I wanted a bunch of cameras, but Add Tech showed me how we could cover more with fewer cameras. No one even notices the four cameras we have.”
After the installation Cindy told us “My husband is a Detective, and he has never seen surveillance video this good. I just thought it was cool to watch the store while we were on vacation. Now that was NICE!”
The Kiosk
Which Watch
Jared is the owner of Which Watch, a retail business specializing in wrist watches. Jared frequently experienced problems with employee and customer theft and needed help.
Although he had mixed emotions about placing surveillance cameras, he knew the theft was affecting his bottom line and he needed to find a complete solution. He began looking for a system that would notify him if an event occurred after hours; he also needed video recordings of any thefts, as previous thieves couldn’t be prosecuted without this evidence. Most importantly, he wanted a video surveillance system that was easy to use, and one that would let him monitor multiple locations from home.
When Jared found out that the Add Tech remote viewing function would allow him to remotely monitor all 17 of his mall kiosks from home, he was sold.
Jared was impressed by the system’s overall quality and said that “the ease of use was astounding!” By conserving time he would otherwise spend traveling to 17 locations checking on employees and customers, he has improved his bottom line in many ways. He also found that his employees were more responsive to customers than they had been previously.
Within days of having his first system installed, Jared was able to catch a shoplifter in the act. He quickly emailed the video segment of interest to mall security. The suspected shoplifter was apprehended by mall security within 20 minutes of receiving the video.
Needless to say, Jared has become a believer in the Add Tech system and immediately made plans to install systems in his remaining mall kiosks.
