Talk to us about your projectAI-powered security systems
Today's cameras, access systems, and intercoms do far more than record and unlock. AI does the watching, so your team doesn't have to.
Search hours of video in seconds
Type “person in a red jacket near the loading dock” and find it, instead of scrubbing footage. Spot vehicles and plates at gates and garages, too.
Access systems that spot the unusual
Find any door or badge event in seconds, and get flagged when something looks off, like a badge used at 3 a.m. or a door propped open.
Intercoms that answer for you
AI can greet visitors, answer common questions, and route the call when no one is at the front desk.
Stop trouble before it starts
Alerts for loitering and after-hours activity, and cameras that play a live warning to trespassers before any damage is done.
We help you choose, install, and set up the AI features that fit your site.

“Your staff arrived on time, were respectful as always, and got right to work without disruption. As always, United Rocks!”Physical Security Manager, ASRC Federal
Privately owned. Owner-operated. Since 1985.
Our missionTo build safe, secure, and connected communities through integrated security solutions, delivered with consistent integrity and uncompromised craftsmanship.
While private equity buys up security companies across the region, we've stayed independent. Our customers work with the same people year after year, and the owner answers to them, not to investors.
Our president, Doug Horensky, has spent more than 40 years in low-voltage systems, from parking control and structured cabling to data centers and security. He leads a team that works as a trusted partner: early in planning, reliable in execution, and accountable through operations.
