DALLAS — In a letter to its monitoring customers, Brinks Home has announced it will eventually no longer monitor Google Nest Alarm Systems. Brinks Home will officially end professional monitoring on Dec. 31, 2023. Google stopped producing the Nest Secure system in October 2020 but continues to support its users. Current users will be able to continue to use the system with self-monitoring. Nest Secure was unveiled in September 2017 to compete with the likes of ADT, Vivint and DIY providers such as Abode, Scout, SimpliSafe and others.

Between the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain shortages, the security industry (and the whole world at large) has had a rough couple of years. Lingering supply issues aside, 2022 saw the industry return to something closer to normal thanks to the return of in-person events and increased interest in security technologies. If there’s anything to glean from the top stories of the year (as well as the top stories of the month compilations), it’s that SSI readers really enjoy reading about M&A, lawsuits and new products. These three core themes make up the vast majority of 2022’s most-read stories on securitysales.com. The most-read story of 2022 was news of Securitas being ordered to pay $517 million in a Surfside Condo collapse settlement. SSI Columnist Jeff Zwirn wrote about the collapse earlier in the year , taking a look at what could have been done to reduce, if not totally eliminate, the loss of life — integral best practices for every security dealer and central monitorin...

ST LOUIS — Rapid Fire Safety & Security, a multi-regional “Buy & Build” strategy in the fire safety and security industries launched earlier this year by founders Mike McLeod and Colin Harrold in partnership with Concentric Equity Partners (CEP), announces the hiring of industry veteran Brian Modglin as chief operating officer (COO).

M&A activity continued to stay strong in the security industry after hitting a lull when COVID hit in 2020. SSI covered roughly 130 deals, about the same as last year. Though some big deals went down, there wasn’t as much cash that exchanged hands as last year (at least as far as deals go where transaction details were disclosed). Only three deals surpassed the billion dollar mark compared to seven last year. Interest in the industry from outside of security continued, as private equity firms continued to snap up or invest in security and fire/life-safety firms — or in the case of the third largest deal of 2022, an insurance provider. In September, insurance provider State Farm announced it would make a $1.2 billion equity investment in ADT, resulting in State Farm owning approximately 15% of ADT. ADT and State Farm said they aim to create a comprehensive solution across home and mobile safety to help customers recover from unexpected risks with proactive safety and security. ...

As you might expect, surveillance cameras catch all sorts of wild moments, ranging from brazen crimes and incompetent criminals to animal misadventures and heroic rescues. Over the past couple years, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to cause an increase in crimes caught on camera, both in thefts and assaults. The most popular surveillance videos of year reflect both these themes. The most viewed video of 2022 is of a woman stealing a 12-foot tall skeleton from a home’s front yard. That’s incredibly brazen considering it was in the mi...
