Experienced.

No other security company can match Guardian's range of experience in integrated system design. And because we also install and service the systems we design, we understand the value of intelligent and farsighted planning.

Caring.

Our company employs over 170 residents in Washington State. We are committed to supporting our region. Locally owned and operated, we’re big enough to do the job, but small enough to care about the details of your system.

Enterprise Systems Integration Solutions

Because we're skilled in all types of life and property protection systems, we can design integrated systems that combine your intrusion detection system with fire alarm systems, video security and access control systems in a single command and control center. Our integrated systems provide a greater degree of protection and alarm verification.

Only approved users (employees, trusted vendors, etc.) can scan their official credentials at a digital access device attached to the entryway – and you can rest assured that only authorized occupants are in the building.
Whether your needs are for a one or two camera installation or whether you require several hundred cameras, we have a solution for you. From a single color camera, to a camera with pan/tilt/zoom capacity, we can meet your needs.
When a camera is triggered, a Guardian monitoring professional will immediately check the video and call you to confirm an intrusion. If an unwanted intrusion is verified, Guardian will quickly call the police to report a robbery in progress.

Fire Alarm Design, Installation & Maintenance

Guardian Security can be your single-source provider for multiple fire and life safety solutions that can be integrated and networked for granularity of information. When it comes to keeping your equipment operating at its best, our specialists can provide testing and inspection, preventive maintenance, fire alarm monitoring and 24/7 emergency service.

The men arrived on time, were conscious of our request to test the alarms later so that our residents would not be frightened. They worked the better part of the day, not even stopping for lunch. They were polite and very professional. I was very impressed."

bug_logo-sm  "Our company underwent a state survey, and as a result we were required to have additional testing on our smoke alarms and zoned fire alarm system. The survey requirements needed to be met per state code as well as on a specific, quick, timeline. Guardian Security was extremely responsive. I made contact with Guardian, and was moved quickly and efficiently to the appropriate persons. Testing was completed in our office setting, during business hours, without hassle or disruption to our business. Everyone from reception, to scheduling, and the service technicians who performed the testing were exceptionally helpful. Very professional service, top to bottom!"

"There are many fire safety companies in the Seattle/King County area. Some who charge a bit less than Guardian Security. For the last thirty years, I have chosen Guardian Security to service and repair our buildings because of their knowledge and quality. Their advance notice of upcoming renewals takes scheduling off my busy "To Do" list and gives me plenty of time to alert the residents of the upcoming service. Their capability of quickly attending to an emergency is most comforting. I cannot imagine managing this aspect of our buildings without Guardian Security."
