Building for the long term
ATEC Security’s business is based on creating long-term, sustainable relationships. This applies to every aspect of the company, from the technology partners we choose to work with to the training that our team goes through. It is all done to ensure that ATEC can provide our clients with the trust that makes them want to work with us for years.
The history of ATEC has seen the company improve and expand our skillset as new technologies entered the market. We have moved from a purely physical security company to one that embraced the elements of electronic security technology. This saw ATEC move first into CCTV for smaller projects and then into large-scale town centre CCTV. As the technology advanced again, it was a small leap for ATEC to move into IP networked surveillance systems and fully integrated solutions covering everything from access control and ANPR to physical security barriers and HD CCTV cameras and storage.
The way we have achieved this is through extensive staff training so we have a true understanding of every security system we design. The result is more than three decades of happy clients all across the UK.
Partners
At ATEC we form long-term technology partnerships and encourage our whole team to develop a deep understanding of the technology we recommend. All of our technicians are certified by our technology partners so you can have confidence that when needed, they will know every component of your security system.
