On ______0ct 6__ 2011 I met Bill Farhood of BF Datacomm to discuss installing camera equipment in my building. My primary interest and focus of the scope of work was an HD streaming webcam on the roof of the building with sound. This camera was intended to be mounted on the roof of the building such that it could see the side of the structure where an artist will be painting a giant mural, and also the surrounding neighborhood. I also had marginal interest in upgrading some security cameras in the building.

Mr. Farhood was confident in his abilities to do the job and began right away. He did not provide me with a written estimate, he did not at any point indicate to me what he was spending and what the bill was. He started installing security cameras and after several weeks the "roof cam" still did not seem to be moving forward. I asked him to cease and desist all work on the security cameras as they were secondary, and to focus on the main roof camera. We had several disagreements through the course of getting the cameras installed as his focus seemed to be on security cameras and not the installation of the roof webcam.

Finally, the rooftop webcam was installed, and Mr. Farhood wanted payment. I had given him $4000 when he began, and he then gave me a bill for over $4500 more as a final total invoice of over $8000. It was then discovered that the camera he installed on the roof was not a streaming webcam, and would not do the job it was intended to do. This was the prime focus of my hiring Mr. Farhood. After several exchanges attempts were made to get the camera to work, but they failed. He also abandoned the project and did not give me any written training or instruction on how to use the security system. It is useless to me.
