System Surveyor

“The ability for our customers to visualize what we’re talking about is huge.”

That’s Cleve Cary, CEO of Inspired Technologies on one of the biggest advantages of bringing System Surveyor into the field.

Instead of presenting a finished design after the fact, their team collaborates on the design with customers in real time, makes adjustments on the spot and builds confidence in the solution before the project ever moves forward.

And the value doesn’t end when the project does. With a digital record of the system, Inspired Technologies has a foundation for ongoing maintenance, troubleshooting and future upgrades, helping customers manage security systems throughout their lifecycle.

Ken Kocher of DMP and Tradd Kendrick of System Surveyor shared three practical ways security professionals can take a more consultative approach:

1. Take the lead, without taking over.
2. Educate. Diagnose. Then recommend.
3. Make what you promised visible.

Thanks Ken for sharing all your great insights!

We’re starting THRIVE with a look at the future of the physical security industry.

This morning, Don Erickson, CEO of the Security Industry Association, and Julaine Simmons, Senior Vice President at M.C. Dean and a member of the SIA Board of Directors, joined us to share their perspectives on a few 2026 security megatrends.

1. AI is an accelerator of software implementation
2. Value chain replaces the channel model
3. Technology refresh cycles accelerate

Thank you to Don and Julaine for helping us open THRIVE with an insightful conversation!
