Our Approach
Security isn't one-size-fits-all
We provide expert guidance, thoughtful recommendations, and ongoing support every step of the way.
Whether you’re a school district, municipality, or small business, your facility has unique safety risks and operational needs. That’s why our approach begins with understanding your environment.
“ADS has and continues to help us grow by being lean, smart, and future-driven in their approach to meet our expectations. The district appreciates its partnership that ADS continues to build every day.”

Innovative Solutions for Your Security Goals
Our Process
1. Assessment and Consultation
Every effective security system starts with a thorough understanding of your environment. That’s why our process begins with an on-site assessment, giving the ADS team the opportunity to evaluate your facility, identify vulnerabilities, and understand both your immediate security needs and future challenges.
Our goal is to provide the insight you need to make informed decisions, address existing risks, and lay the groundwork for a security strategy that evolves with your organization.
2. Design and Planning
Strategic design is the foundation for effective physical security. Building on insights gained during the assessment phase, the ADS team collaborates closely with stakeholders to craft full-system security designs for system upgrades or new installations.
Utilizing proven techniques and cutting-edge security technology, we deliver:
-
Innovative and practical solutions that align with your operational needs
-
Competitive pricing and focused planning to stay within budget
-
Seamless integration with other systems, ensuring a smooth implementation process
Our aim is to design a security system that not only meets today’s needs but also adapts as your operation evolves.
3. Installation
With your system design finalized, our experienced team handles the installation with precision and professionalism. We use high-quality, open-platform equipment to ensure long-term reliability and performance.
Every detail matters. Devices are installed in optimal locations to capture clear, actionable footage, wiring is cleanly routed and protected, and we take care to maintain a professional appearance throughout your facility. Our installers are trusted local experts who work efficiently, minimize disruption, and ensure your security system is installed right the first time.
4. Training
A well-designed security system delivers real value only when your team knows how to use it. That’s why ADS offers flexible, hands-on training, either on-site at your facility or at our dedicated training center.
We adapt our training approach based on your needs. Whether your staff needs a quick overview or in-depth instruction to manage every feature independently, we build a training program that ensures confidence and competence. After training, your team will be fully equipped to operate the system efficiently, and ready to respond effectively in any situation.
5. Maintenance
To maximize system longevity and reduce unexpected costs, ADS offers ongoing preventative and corrective maintenance through our Customer Care Plans. Every installation includes a Standard plan, which provides routine checks, monthly health reports, backups, and assistance with user or camera adjustments. For organizations requiring faster response times and added benefits, our Elite plan builds upon Standard with priority service, system monitoring, scheduled site visits (such as semi‑annual camera cleaning and annual battery swaps), and discounts on out‑of‑warranty parts and emergency service.
With these tailored maintenance options, ADS helps ensure your system stays fully operational, secure, and ready to adapt as your needs evolve.
