Surveillance Systems Incorporated

What Surveillance Systems Incorporated does

Surveillance Systems Incorporated (SSI), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a US-based systems integrator specializing in the design, sale, and installation of CCTV, IP video, access control, and integrated surveillance solutions. The company is the dominant surveillance integrator to the North American gaming industry, with documented enterprise relationships spanning Caesars Entertainment (70+ properties), MGM Resorts International (20+ years, sole supplier for access control across 12+ casinos), Resorts World, Graton Resort & Casino, and multiple tribal gaming operators including Comanche Nation, Shoshone Bannock, and Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation. Beyond gaming, SSI serves the retail (organized retail crime prevention), healthcare (fraud detection, transaction recording), government (via GSA Contract # GS-07F9323S and four CMAS contracts), education, and commercial/industrial verticals.

The company's core technical offering is multi-vendor system design and integration across more than 50 manufacturer partnerships (Pelco, Honeywell, Avigilon, Axis, Motorola, Hanwha, Mirasys, Milestone, Genetec, Verkada, Extreme Networks, Dallmeier, DDN, among others), with certified engineers and technicians holding deep platform-level credentials (Pelco Endura System Integrator/Design/Tech, Milestone Advanced XProtect, Genetec Omnicast, Bosch GV2/RPS, Exacq Vision, Honeywell). Notable technical deployments include a 4,300-camera enterprise IP surveillance build for MGM/Mirage City Center, a 1,200-channel Synectics VMS integration at French Lick Casino, and Verkada cloud-managed deployments with 365-day storage for El Dorado County. AI/computer vision features (facial recognition, video analytics, license plate recognition, POS data mining) are layered onto these third-party platforms rather than developed in-house.

SSI's business model is a mix of professional services (system design, engineering, project management, installation), hardware resale (cameras, VMS, access control) through manufacturer partnerships at competitive pricing, and recurring service and maintenance agreements (multi-year custom contracts covering systems regardless of original installer). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed through seven US regional offices (CA, AZ, WA, NY, IL, TX, NV) plus dedicated national-account managers, supported by channel partnerships and government contract vehicles. The company is privately held and founder-owned (Todd Flowers), with October 2024 marking its first disclosed acquisition (Technology Integrators LLC) and 2025 marking a strategic partnership with CORAM, indicating a transition from purely organic growth to include inorganic expansion.

Direct peers

• Unlimited Technology: Specialty security systems integrator focused on integrated physical security, surveillance, access control, and network infrastructure for enterprise and government customers. Highly comparable to SSI given its systems-integration model, multi-vertical customer base, and emphasis on enterprise-scale deployments.
• Security 101: National commercial security integrator offering video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection across multiple US regions via a franchise/decentralized model. Closely comparable to SSI on service offering, vertical diversity (commercial, healthcare, education, government), and enterprise integration focus.
• A3 Communications: Security and low-voltage systems integrator specializing in IP video surveillance, access control, and structured cabling for commercial, healthcare, and education clients. Comparable to SSI on integrated systems design, IP-based technology focus, and multi-vertical delivery.
• Koorsen Fire & Security: Midwestern US-based security and fire systems integrator serving commercial and industrial clients with video surveillance, access control, intrusion, and monitoring services. Comparable to SSI's service-and-installation model and similar regional office-based delivery.
• Northland Controls: Enterprise security integrator delivering global surveillance, access control, and PSIM deployments for corporate, data center, and critical-infrastructure clients. Comparable to SSI on systems-integration services, multi-vendor product mix, and project-based delivery model.
• Pro-Tec Design & Integration: Boutique security systems integrator focused on gaming, hospitality, and cannabis verticals with similar surveillance and access-control solutions. Most directly comparable to SSI on vertical specialization (especially gaming) and customer base overlap.
• Integrated Security Systems (ISS): Systems integrator providing video surveillance, access control, intercom, and intrusion solutions for commercial, education, and government customers. Closely comparable to SSI on project delivery model and multi-vertical strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Convergint Technologies: One of the largest US security systems integrators with a national footprint and broad vertical exposure (commercial, healthcare, government, utilities). Like SSI, Convergint designs and installs integrated video surveillance, access control, and related systems, but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic breadth, making it the most natural broad-market comparable.
• Allied Universal (technology services): Largest US security services provider offering guarding plus integrated technology services (surveillance, access control) under its Allied Universal Technology Services arm. Comparable to SSI on integrated security solutions but operates at vastly greater scale with guarding-services revenue that SSI does not compete in.

Emerging players

• VidSys: Provider of PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) and Converged Security and Information Management (CSIM) software platforms that aggregate video surveillance, access control, and sensor data. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but tied to SSI's surveillance room design and command-and-control integration work.
