Vision Insight: Our History and Corporate Values - Vision Security Technologies

Written by Vision Security Technologies | May 30, 2019 12:16:16 PM

Vision Security Technologies was founded in September 2000 as Vision Southeast by Barry Komisar. Barry, with his entrepreneurial spirit, vision, determination, and a single employee successfully launched Vision Southeast.

“I worked for an independent security system integrator for 8 years and learned the industry.  I always inspired to have my own company and when the timing was right I created Vision. I did it my way which was putting company culture first.  I wanted Vision to provide a positive, supportive, inspiring, and healthy work environment to attract and more importantly retain tremendous talent.  Our people are what makes Vision great.  The loyalty and dedication the entire Vision team exudes are a testament to these efforts.”

Combined with award winning systems and strong client relationships, Barry led the Vision team to become Alabama’s largest independent security integrator. Since 2000, we’ve grown our staff to over fifty people and moved into a new and technologically advanced facility. We now have over 10,000 square feet and can house Vision University, a superior training area for employees and clients, as well as an expanded engineering department.

Following rapid growth, Vision Southeast was rebranded to Vision Security Technologies in 2010. Vision Security Technologies is now one of the largest and most celebrated security integrators in Alabama, as well as the entire Southeast, providing innovative security solutions for state and federal government, education campuses, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, stadiums and arenas, utilities, industrial facilities, and corporate headquarters throughout Alabama, Tennessee, and the Gulf Coast.

Professional Security Partner

The Vision team can survey your building, coordinate an IT-inclusive design, and professionally install and integrate hardware and software. Vision can also create a custom managed and hosted services plan, freeing up your staff to perform their core responsibilities, provide a safe working environment, and maintain the system. IT will appreciate the maintenance services as well. Limiting their involvement in regularly scheduled software and firmware updates may be the benefit they need to stay focused and effective.
