National Monitoring Center Celebrates 20-Year Anniversary

NMC Logo
June 1, 2021

National Monitoring Center, a third-party monitoring center, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the company’s founding. In those years, NMC has evolved from a single 10,000 square foot facility to two monitoring centers located in California and Texas.

“We are thrilled and honored to have reached this milestone,” said Woodie Andrawos, president, National Monitoring Center. “Our longevity in the monitoring business is testimony to our continuing investments in technology, personnel and relationship-building. Our customers have always been our first priority, and this objective has informed every step we have taken as an organization.”

NMC was founded in June 2001, shortly before the events of 9/11. Beginning in January 2002 with their first 150 accounts operating out of California, the company continued to grow rapidly over the next several years. 2007 marked many milestones, when NMC built a second central station in Texas mirroring the California facility and allowing for full redundancy and geodiversity to better serve their customers.

Over the next several years, NMC continued to update and evolve their facilities and offerings, building a new center in California in 2013 to house monitoring, support and education operations. In 2018, the company merged with Netwatch, opening up new business opportunities and bringing a vital new offering, Proactive Video Monitoring, to their customers.

In 2021, with the business having grown to hundreds of thousands of accounts, NMC continues to deliver monitoring services that protect users while supporting business development objectives for dealers.

“This continues to be an exciting industry, with fast-moving technology that helps people and organizations maintain a lower risk profile,” Andrawos said. “We’re looking forward to our next 20 years.”
