Frequently Asked Questions

1) How do you secure a large campus with multiple buildings, entrances, and events in Metro Atlanta?

SSP designs campus security systems in Metro Atlanta that combine access control, cameras, and visitor workflows so everyday entry stays smooth and event entry is controlled. We focus on the entrances that matter most (main office, athletic venues, after-hours doors) so you're not overcomplicating operations.

2) Will upgrades disrupt classes, chapel, carline, or campus activities?

We plan phased school security upgrades around your calendar and traffic patterns, so high-impact work happens in the right windows and critical areas stay operational. The goal is better security without slowing down drop-off, dismissals, or events.

3) Do we have to replace everything, or can you work with what we already have?

Not always. SSP can often integrate with existing school security systems and upgrade in phases, prioritizing the biggest risk areas first (front entry, admin, athletics, perimeter). This avoids a full rip-and-replace and helps you stay within budget.

4) What happens after installation, and who supports us when something breaks?

SSP provides ongoing service and support in Metro Atlanta so your campus systems stay reliable beyond install. We handle maintenance and troubleshooting so your team isn't stuck managing multiple vendors when issues come up.

From the initial request to update our outdated electronic key system, SSP demonstrated a commitment to MGA’s best interests. Their installation of a fire alarm system at the Georgia facility, including the creation of necessary building drawings, saved MGA significant costs while ensuring full compliance with safety codes, enhancing both employee and asset security.

I have been with DeKalb County Government for 8 years and have had a great working relationship with SSP during that time. They are responsible for assisting DeKalb County in keeping our buildings secure and the service and support they provide has positively helped us to achieve that goal. We call on them frequently to assist with installations, emergencies, repairs, and maintenance for our card access system. They communicate well and are very responsive to our issues in a timely manner. You can always count on the SSP Team: Scott, Jason, Keelan, Isaac, Tammy, David, and all the technicians to provide outstanding customer service. Highly recommend them to anyone seeking a reliable and effective partner.

Great company to work with; from their front office, to accounting, to sales force, to service technicians. I utilize SSP for Access Control, CCTV, Fire Alarm, and gates and they have always handled any issues in a timely manner. Rates are fair market value and you truly get what you pay for!

Clayton Lindsey Head of Operations and Facilities

Partnering with SSP to modernize our video surveillance system has been a game-changer. One of the most valuable features they delivered was an interactive map that visually displays all of our camera locations across the facility. It’s completely transformed how we train and deploy our security officers. Instead of relying on guesswork, our team can now instantly locate the right camera and respond to incidents with greater speed and confidence. New officers onboard faster, investigations move quicker, and our security operations are more effective across the board. SSP’s expertise and ongoing support have made a tremendous difference.

As a building owner, we have had an exceptional experience with SSP. Alex, in particular, has been an invaluable resource for us in dealing with our Avigilon access control system at our Class A office building. I appreciate their quick response when we have an issue. Highly recommend! I wish more of our vendors were as responsive as SSP.
