This past week our President, Mark Russell, attended the ISC West conference in Las Vegas - the largest security trade show in the U.S.

He got a firsthand look at the latest in access control, video surveillance, AI, and smart home tech and we’re excited to bring some of these cutting-edge innovations back to you!

A big thank you for an incredible show and a special shoutout to and for hosting us at their customer appreciation events during the week!

Thank you to the Bruce for allowing us to be a part of this wonderful event!

Today was our annual holiday breakfast at for the 32 individuals that make up the incredible staff of Southern Alarm & Security.🎄🎅🏼 Though not everyone was able to be there, we enjoyed spending the morning together eating a delicious breakfast, playing some holiday bingo, and celebrating another year of growth and hard work at Southern Alarm. ✨

We also had the pleasure of giving out service awards (check out picture #2) to Tim Linville (3 years) Sarah Pike (5 years) and Dusty Henley (10 years), thanking them for their years of service and dedication to Southern Alarm (and hoping for many, many more!) 🏆

We are so lucky to have the amazing staff that we do at Southern Alarm and this company wouldn’t be where it is today without each of them. Thank you ALL for all that you do each and every day and for making Southern Alarm a place that our communities trust ❤️

The holidays are quickly approaching and it’s never too early to start thinking about simplifying the season. 🎄Crawling around or behind your tree to turn the lights on each day can be a pain, but not with smart plugs! With a smart plug, you can turn your Christmas lights on and off with a simple tap in your smart home app, and even automate your tree lights to turn on and off at specific times each day. Decorating with outdoor lights? Smart plugs work here too, and make lighting up the holidays a breeze! Give us a call or check out our website for more info!.
