Testimonials

“Security Automation Systems won the bid for this project. Their work was exceptional. They had to build around existing structures and work with a wiring mess. I would strongly recommend Security Automation Systems to any facility looking for this type of work.”

Andy Craig
Captain at Hancock County

“From the start of first contacting SAS, we were made to feel like we were their first priority. Once all of the financial obligations were taken care of, we were kept up to date the entire time of where they were in the process of building our system. They came on site and surveyed our layout and existing system and wiring. They were then able to start building out system.”

Kent C. Davis
Captain at Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office

“Not only is Security Automation Systems staff knowledgeable on designing and installing these high-tech touch screen controls, but they are diligent in programming, testing, and training the end users. If there is an issue with one of the cameras not working they can quickly remotely dial-in and troubleshoot the problem.”
