My background: I'm an electronics engineer and software developer specializing in physical intrusion detection and fire/life-safety reporting systems. I engineer and develop the software that is used to monitor and translate alarm signals at proprietary and alarm central stations. The software is somewhat similar to that used in 911 emergency centers, however, far more comprehensive and serves many other functions including service and support dispatching, guard dispatch, vehicle tracking/dispatching/mapping, business and billing integration and numerous other interfaces including full web integration & support. We also support direct Computer-Aided-Dispatch with a number of police and fire agencies worldwide and provide GPS vehicle-usage monitoring for routing/ route deviation detection, boundary reporting, engine diagnostics, gas mileage, and driver speed/stop/usage statistics.

The company I work for is a fortune 100 business that has 85% of the world market for alarm central station software supporting dozens of languages in many countries. Some of the larger companies using our software include ADT, Protection One, UTC, Securitas and many other entities not as well recognized in the U.S.

I have over 35 years of experience in virtually all aspects of alarm security including system design, installation, engineering, CCTV, access control systems and high security DOD / military / aerospace and governmental facilities. I’ve served as product manager, engineering manager, service manager, and central station manager for various local and nationwide alarm companies and have hands-on experience designing, installing and integrating various security and fire/ life-safety systems.
