There’s something to be said for good old-fashioned security–or, in the case of C& C Security Systems, new-fashioned security.
The Camp Hill firm specializes in integrating access control, closed-circuit television and hi-tech alarm systems, and has plans for expansion in 2009. The company has just completed a new product called Record Master, which applies access control technology to filing cabinets.
“We’ve developed a systems that enables you have the same control over your filing cabinet that you have over your doors,” says CEO Steve Chianos.
The product is one example of how, according to Chianos, the security industry is not utilizing technology to meet the growing demands of the marketplace.
“What we have found is that our clients have needs that access control companies have not been able to meet,” he says. “For the past 40 years, access control has been cookie-cutter; they develop a system, turn it over to the customer and say, ‘good luck.’ It’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.”
In the coming year, C&C will introduce a security consulting division to its business that will analyze a company and develop a software-integrated system based on specific needs, and then train company personnel. In addition, C&C is developing a private security division for hire–a service that will provide comprehensive private security to executives and celebrities. “We’re looking for that to be a very rapid expansion,” says Chianos.
With a product for the construction industry coming out this winter–an anti-theft device designed to prevent theft–and yet another on the drawing board, Chianos says C&C is poised to expand its business to Toronto in the next six months and should be ready to go national sometime in the next 18 months.
