Technology partners
The partners behind the work.
Tec-Tel is a multi-vendor security integrator. We resell and deploy AI video-analytics partners (Tenyks, which we distribute in North America, plus Spot AI, Coram, Lumeo, Dragonfruit, DTiQ, Arvist, and Intenseye), install camera and VMS lines led by Hanwha, Verkada, and Axis, handle access and intercom with Brivo, Aiphone, and HID, build the network and telecom layer underneath, and route 24/7 monitoring through Becklar's UL-listed central stations. Because we're multi-vendor, we also integrate with and migrate from the major competing platforms rather than forcing a rip-and-replace, and we avoid covered-list equipment at federal-touching sites.
§01 Partners we deploy
The platforms we resell, distribute, and run.
Most security companies are single-platform shops. Tec-Tel isn't. These are the partners we actively resell, distribute, and deploy, picked so each customer gets the platform that fits their site, not the one easiest to ship. We tune and stand behind every one.
AI video analytics + software · 8
The computer-vision platforms we resell, distribute, and deploy on the cameras you already own. We're not tied to one: we pick the platform that fits your environment and run it for you. Most are camera-agnostic, so no rip-and-replace.

§02 Multi-vendor by default
Already run something else? We integrate with it.
We don't displace your existing system to sell you ours. If you already run one of the major competing platforms, we integrate with it, service it, or migrate it on your timeline. The same camera-agnostic approach is why our AI layer runs on hardware you own.

§03 3 vendors we don't install
