Establishing Decades of Growth Through Adaptation and Innovation

Posted by Jay Bartlett September 9, 2024 6:07 pm Categories: Corporate News.

My career as a professional in the security industry began as a systems installer in the New York tri-state region, which ultimately led me to forming my own company monitoring and servicing residential and commercial end-users.

Initially, we saw an opportunity to enter the professional security industry with a mission to design and manufacture better power products and peripherals with added features and higher reliability.
