About

ProTech Security: Proud to be a Trusted Security Solutions Integrator Since 1981.

ProTech Security, with more than 40 years of service in Northeast Ohio, and over 20 years of service in Central Florida, brings decades of combined security expertise to every home, business, school, and government facility within our local communities.

It was the safety and security of our local communities that was the original foundation the company was built upon, as recalled by ProTech Security founder Dan McKimm:

“The security and well-being of our communities is our primary concern at ProTech Security. Our role is to provide a wide range of solutions and tailor them to each individual need. Anyone can sell alarms and cameras, but our purpose is to provide our communities with safer, smarter security using the integration of technology.”

Our Philosophy as a Security Solutions Integrator

As a full-service security solutions integrator, ProTech Security continues to adhere to that founding directive and to the philosophy: “No one company can be all things to all people and be good at it.” It’s why rather than be distracted by lots of low-voltage services, ProTech Security’s focus remains fixed on providing the best and most affordable security solutions possible.

As a security solutions integrator, ProTech works with you to identify the security solutions that best fit and serve the unique needs of your property, facility, or residence.

The ProTech Security Advantage also includes a forward-looking philosophy that centers on the latest in IP (Internet Protocol) technology and IT (Information Technology) — built with dynamic, non-proprietary systems. In that continued pursuit, ProTech Security announced a merger with Viking Security Systems, Inc. — effective May 31, 2021 — that allows both to further their missions of becoming a leading provider of security solutions moving forward under the ProTech Security brand.

Improving our Security Integration Capabilities With Strategic Mergers

ProTech Security was originally founded in North Canton, Ohio in 1981 and focused on providing engineering, installation, and integration of customized security solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental entities.

Viking Security was founded in Orlando, Florida in 2001, and specializes in access control and video surveillance solutions for commercial and governmental customers.

“Not only does the Viking Security acquisition allow ProTech Security to expand into a dynamic geographical market, but it also allows us to grow our talent and expertise in new product lines,” said Eric McKimm, Vice President, ProTech Security.

In early 2024, ProTech Security merged business operations with Carnation Security Systems, Inc. The merged entity continues to operate under the ProTech Security banner.

“The Carnation Security acquisition allows ProTech Security to continue to service customers in our local community. In addition, we expect to achieve operational improvements and efficiencies with the newly merged entities,” Eric McKimm said.

Promoting peace of mind with reliable, proven, and effective security solutions has, and will continue to be the biggest part of the ProTech Security Advantage and continued vision.
