The top manufacturers and distributors used by SDM 100 dealers.

Customer demand for smart home security systems grew during the pandemic, and with more integrated conveniences available than ever before, shows no sign of slowing down.

Despite the uncertainty and challenges it presented, however, the top security dealers held their own, and some even thrived, finding new paths and opportunities.

Everyone hoped things would be “back to normal” by now. While security companies in 2021 continued to feel the impacts of the coronavirus, the 2022 SDM Industry Forecast shows both slow but steady improvement and optimism.

With deep, long-standing roots in the community, this company’s service-based culture and strong commitment to both employees and customers have earned it the distinction of being named SDM’s 2021 Dealer of the Year.

The awards program from the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security, sponsored by SDM, recognizes excellence in system integration at sporting venues. These are the 2021 finalists.
