"We are proud to be recognized as one of the leading companies in the Austin area," said Jeff Brown, President of Smarter Security Systems. "We have successfully grown our national market share, and in fact, captured market leadership this past year. We are chosen by large corporations, financial institutions, electric utilities, governmental agencies, and others because we deliver what they need - intelligent and cost-effective solutions that provide reliable, advanced levels of security."
Founded in 1992, Smarter Security Systems introduced elegant and intelligent Fastlane optical turnstiles for lobby security. Today, Fastlane is the market leader and provides lobby security for some of the most prestigious and secure buildings across the globe. Expanding to the perimeter or "outer layer" of security in 2006, Smarter Security now offers a comprehensive portfolio of advanced outdoor security products that provide protection from vandalism, unwanted intrusions, and costly crimes such as copper theft.
