What every engagement comes down to
Hold the budget. Spend the difference on coverage.
Three ways in
Start with the post, the site or the build you are least sure about
Needs a person
Off-duty police officers
Sworn, active officers on your posts through illuno. Insured, market rate, nothing hidden. Try one post.
- Nearly 95% fill, against a national average of 40% to 50%
- Up to $16M / Liability coverage, with umbrella
- No long-term contract. Simple terms
Also under off-duty police: officers, work shifts · coordinators, bring your accounts · refer a business
Temporary site
Site security equipment
Mobile surveillance units, solar cameras, light towers and guard booths from Vision Detection Systems. Sized by someone with no quota on them.
- Single Zone from $985 a month, or $17,960 to own
- In stock. On site within 48 hours, guaranteed, in 48 states. Alaska and Hawaii on priority lead times.
- Online in 15 to 20 minutes, one person
Long-term site
Security integration
Cameras, access control, gates, lighting and monitoring, plus the electrical and fencing the job drags in. One scope, one number.
- Built on the platform you already run: Avigilon, Hanwha, Axis, Genetec, Milestone
- Self-performed crews. The people who built it are the people who fix it
- One master agreement, fixed pricing, every site a repeat of the last
Some posts need a person. Some need a gate, a camera and a voice that carries. The difference doesn't leave your budget. It moves to where a person actually matters.
What integration means
The layers that replace the post
Cameras, doors, gates and one screen that watches all of it. Built on the platform you already run, priced as one number.

Questions
What people ask first
Which one do I need: officers, a mobile unit or a fixed build?
A post that needs presence and authority gets a sworn officer. A site exposed for a season gets a mobile unit. A site that never stops being exposed gets a fixed build. The first call sorts your scenario into those three categories.
Do you work outside Houston?
Yes. Officers are placed in all 50 states through illuno, mobile units ship to 48 states within 48 hours (Alaska and Hawaii on priority lead times), and the integration crews work nationwide.
Who do I actually deal with?
Me, from the first call through pricing, delivery, build and service. illuno, Vision Detection Systems and our integration partners do the day-to-day work, and I stay accountable to you for all three.
