    Wireless Camera Pole Install

    Those Motorola surfboards are the worst! So glad we don’t use them on the East coast. Not terrible I’ve seen much worse. Door opens and it’s all dangling. A sticky note that says “Sorry”. I saw requests for box interiors lol. I’ve got tons from my installs and service calls. Glad you liked. ‍♂️✊
