Our Story

Case Studies

Education

Campus Security Solutions

A university with three separate campuses spread over a 20-mile area faced difficult security challenges. Staff was unable to effectively monitor widespread areas using traditional patrols, and costly equipment theft from smart classrooms escalated rapidly. CCS engineered a comprehensive solution.

Residential

Virtual Doorman

Each non-resident entering the building is required to call in and provide identification. On-site guards are contacted for violations or unauthorized entry, with detailed reports provided to management showing visitor frequency and other valuable data.

Automotive

Auto Dealership Chain

A chain of prominent dealerships struggled with after-hours security risks across multiple locations. Theft, vandalism, and trespassing were ongoing issues. Their existing monitoring company proved ineffective. CCS implemented a proactive video monitoring solution.

Industries We Serve

Customized solutions for businesses of every size and industry.

Life Sciences / Pharmatech / Biotech

With well over 150 active San Diego clients, CCS is a leading vendor for San Diego's thriving Life Sciences industries. We engineer solutions for sensitive environments with effective security that helps address critical DEA and FDA compliance requirements.

Commercial / Industrial

Extensive experience working closely with building owners, tenants, property managers, and general contractors to develop effective, integrated security solutions that leverage technology to better inform stakeholders.

Government & Municipalities

Excellent relationships with the US Military and municipal agencies. We've worked with the City of San Diego, San Diego County, US Navy, Border Patrol, US Coast Guard, and the Marine Corps for over a decade.

Property Management

For over twenty years we've worked with property management firms daily. Our Managed Access Control platform is one of the most innovative tools in the marketplace for commercial property managers.
