“Security integration is a products-driven business. However, security integrators are bombarded with an ever-increasing array of products all touted as the ‘latest and greatest.’ This has made it exceedingly challenging for integrators to separate the chaff from the wheat and make the best informed purchasing decisions,” says SSI Editor-in-Chief and Associate Publisher Scott Goldfine. “To solve this quandary and better serve the channel, SSI has stepped forward to launch the Most Valuable Product Awards.”

That is the basis for Security Sales & Integration‘s Most Valuable Products (MVP) Awards. With the ever-increasing knowledge of the tech decision maker, SSI’s MVP Awards are not only valuable to the integrators that install these products, but to the end users that are procuring them as well. It’s always helpful to have a base of knowledge about the products that we are paying for.

A panel of experienced independent security integrators evaluated more than 60 new product entries to arrive at this year’s 28 MVP winners. They encompass the 10 main categories and subcategories of Access Control, Business Operations, Central Station/Monitoring, Fire/Life Safety, Home Controls, Installation Aids, Intrusion Detection, Miscellaneous Security Products, Security Apps and Video Surveillance. Each product was judged on its design, features and benefits.
