How has Independent Locksmiths & Security created Excellence in Innovation? Over the past 15 years ILS, a traditional locksmith business, developed an Electronic Security Division to provide integrated security systems to our clients. Electronic Security systems refers to any electronic equipment that perform security operations like surveillance, access control, alarming or an intrusion control to a facility or area.
Ryan McGovern, second generation in the business, has headed this Electronics Division. He has built a team with a passion for solving our client’s security issues, applying advances in security technology. The team are trained in a range of products such as Protégé, Inner Range, Mobotix, Milestone, Salto and Cyberkey.
In 2017 SecVision Networks was launched. Ryan’s product development in the technology field has seen two strong brands emerge:
We are now in a unique position in the marketplace, able to offer our clients a Total Security Solution that combines mechanical locksmithing with electronic security systems and services. The clients we are servicing are in the Education, Local Government, Health, Strata, Industrial and Commercial sectors.
