Security 101 Expands SiteGuard 101 with Becklar Remote Guarding Partnership

Leading National Integrator Enhances AI-Powered Remote Guarding Solutions Nationwide

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, and OGDEN, UT – September 24, 2025 – Security 101, a national provider of integrated commercial security solutions with over 50 U.S. locations, today announced the expansion of its SiteGuard 101 platform with the addition of Becklar Remote Guarding, enhancing its portfolio of proactive video monitoring services to enterprise clients nationwide. This partnership combines Security 101’s expertise in security system integration with Becklar’s industry-leading remote guarding platform, which currently monitors over 30,000 cameras and prevents 100,000+ crimes annually.

Under the agreement, Becklar Remote Guarding joins Security 101’s roster of SiteGuard 101 partners, providing 24/7 live video surveillance intervention and virtual guard services across Security 101’s national customer base. The partnership enables Security 101 to expand its service portfolio with proactive security solutions that detect and deter criminal activity in real-time, before incidents occur.

SiteGuard 101 is Security 101’s proactive remote guarding platform, offering clients a choice of curated video monitoring partners based on site complexity, risk profile, and operational goals.

“After a thorough evaluation of available partners in the remote guarding space, Becklar stood out as a strong addition to our portfolio based on their proven track record, innovative technology platform, and exceptional support for large-scale deployments,” said Ken Poole, CRO of Security 101. “This partnership supports a strategic initiative for Security 101 as we see remote guarding as one of our primary growth areas. Becklar’s streamlined implementation process, competitive pricing model, and ability to scale with our national footprint made them the clear choice to help us expand our existing capabilities to deliver superior security outcomes for our clients.”

Security 101’s selection of Becklar came after extensive vetting of the remote guarding market. The company cited Becklar’s 25-year heritage in the remote guarding industry, seamless integration capabilities with existing camera infrastructure, and dealer-centric approach as key differentiators. Early deployments have already validated the decision, with Security 101 reporting that the implementation process has been “hands down the easiest” compared to previous experiences with other providers.

“We are thrilled to partner with Security 101 to bring our proactive security monitoring to more businesses nationwide,” said Daniel Forrest, President of Becklar Remote Guarding. “Security 101’s commitment to delivering comprehensive security solutions aligns perfectly with our mission of preventing crime before it happens. This partnership exemplifies how leading integrators and monitoring providers can collaborate to deliver next-generation security solutions that are both highly effective and cost efficient for end users.”

The partnership delivers significant value to Security 101’s diverse client base across healthcare, education, financial services, and government sectors. Becklar’s remote guarding solution combines AI-driven video analytics with live intervention specialists who can issue real-time audio warnings and dispatch law enforcement when needed. This proactive approach has been proven to reduce security costs by 20-50% compared to traditional guard services while providing superior coverage and incident prevention.

“The advanced video and remote guarding services provided by Becklar provide yet another growth opportunity and revenue stream for our organization,” said Daniel Forrest, President of Becklar Remote Guarding. “We’ve designed our platform to be completely dealer-friendly, requiring no proprietary hardware and working with any modern IP camera system. This makes it easy for Security 101 to rapidly deploy remote guarding services while maintaining their client relationships and brand presence.”

Key benefits of the partnership include:

• Immediate Crime Prevention: Live security specialists intervene within seconds of detecting suspicious activity, using two-way audio to deter intruders before crimes occur

• Reduced False Alarms: Advanced AI analytics filter out non-threat activities, ensuring law enforcement is only dispatched for verified incidents

• 24/7 Professional Monitoring: U.S. and Canada-based intervention specialists provide round-the-clock surveillance from redundant command centers

• Seamless Integration: Platform-agnostic solution works with existing camera infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly hardware replacements

• Scalable Nationwide Coverage: Becklar’s seven integrated monitoring centers across North America ensure reliable service delivery to Security 101’s clients from coast to coast

The partnership is effective immediately, with Security 101 offices nationwide able to offer Becklar Remote Guarding services to both new and existing clients. The companies plan to showcase the integrated solution at upcoming industry events, including GSX 2025.
