To Whom It May Concern:

In reference to the security system that we currently have installed using American Digital Security (ADS), it is such an improvement over what we had. We no longer have to watch hours of video in order to find the correct event or incident. We can just go to the approximate date and time, pull it up, record it to a CD and we are good to go.

Our local emergency services (fire and police departments) have access to real time video feeds via the internet. This allows them the opportunity to have more frequent surveillance and/or a more appropriate, effective and safer response in emergent situations.

The door access points have eliminated the need to disrupt the school day with practice or real lock downs. We are totally locked down most of the time with electronic and by permission-only access, with a minimal transition period.

The willingness on the part of ADS to assure satisfaction with our system is superb. They have gone the extra mile allowing us to tailor our system to fit our needs and not sell us on options that just are not essential to our needs. This has allowed us to have a quality and functional system at half the cost of other companies.

ADS equipment has performed wonderfully and when we have had concerns they were timely on getting us some resolution with new or even upgraded replacement equipment. I am very confident with ADS and would recommend them highly.

Sincerely,
Randy Wagoner, Superintendent of Schools
