What CCTV.Net does

CCTV.Net, legally STS Lab, Inc., is a privately held B2B distributor of professional CCTV and physical security equipment founded in 2001 and headquartered in Van Nuys, California. The company operates a dealer-only e-commerce platform at cctv.net that requires integrators to register and be approved before they can view pricing, request quotes, register projects, and place orders. The catalog spans network cameras, NVRs and DVRs, video management software, access control systems, alarm products, analog solutions, PoE switches, storage, audio, security lighting, sensors and IoT, temperature monitoring, and crowd control solutions, aggregated across 72 brands including Vivotek, Hanwha Vision, Uniview, ACTi, Akuvox, GeoVision, exacqVision, ELK Products, Luminys, Luxriot, SECO-LARM, and Digital Watchdog.

Underlying technology distributed through the platform includes Vivotek's AI-enabled network cameras with Smart VCA (intrusion, loitering, line crossing, unattended object, missing object, face, crowd detection), Vision Object Analytics for people and vehicle attribute extraction, embedded ANPR/LPR supporting 70+ countries, the VORTEX cloud platform with natural language video search, VAST 2 CMS, and AI Hub analytics. Hardware carries certifications including CE, FCC, UL, NDAA, FIPS 140-2 Level 2 (TPM-equipped cameras), IP66/IP67, and IK10.

Revenue is generated through hardware resale to authorized U.S. security system integrators under a channel-partner go-to-market with dealer-only pricing and no public price list. Pricing is pay-as-you-go on order placement, with project registration and quote-request workflows for larger bids. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent, no subsidiaries, and operates with 1-10 employees, serving a horizontal integrator segment across commercial, residential, transportation, and municipal end markets.

Direct peers

• ADI Global Distribution: ADI is the largest North American wholesale distributor of security, AV, and low-voltage products, serving security integrators and dealers with a deep multi-brand catalog.

• PSA Security Network: PSA is a global security and AV distribution cooperative serving systems integrators with a multi-vendor portfolio of IP cameras, access control, intrusion, and networking products. Like CCTV.Net, it focuses exclusively on the integrator channel and bundles project pricing and technical support.
• ScanSource Security: ScanSource Security is a value-added distributor of physical security, video surveillance, and access control solutions to systems integrators in North America. It mirrors CCTV.Net's B2B distribution model with additional services like technical support, training, and financing for dealer partners.
• Jenne Inc. Jenne is a US value-added distributor of UC, networking, and physical security products, including IP surveillance, access control, and intercom solutions sold to resellers and integrators. It is closely comparable to CCTV.Net in serving the same dealer base with multi-vendor security portfolios.
• Tri-Ed Distribution (legacy / now part of Wesco): Tri-Ed was a North American specialty distributor of IP video, access control, intrusion, and fire products serving integrators, now operating under the Wesco security umbrella.

• Anixter / Wesco Security Solutions: Anixter (now part of Wesco) is a global low-voltage and security distributor offering network cameras, PoE, access control, and surveillance infrastructure to integrators.

It is a broader incumbent than CCTV.Net, with security as one of many categories, but overlaps directly in video surveillance distribution.
