Vinny Peone, Co-Founder, Ignite Strategic Partners: Best Advice

Today’s entry in our ongoing Best Advice series comes from Vinny Peone, president and co-founder of Ignite Strategic Partners and director of marketing for Eastern Security Services and Intelli-Tec Security Services. He talks about the best advice he’s ever heard, what he tells security industry newbies and his inspiration.

Security Sales & Integration: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Vinny Peone: “You can always make more money; you’ll never make more time.” The truth that time is a finite variable was what motivated me to leave a role that I was unhappy with to begin my career in the security industry, as well as find my niche in the industry as a marketer.

It’s also what motivates me, as a father, to always maintain a work-life balance.

SSI: What advice would you give to those looking to achieve success in the security industry?

Peone: Network, network, network. Success in this industry, like many, often comes down to knowing the right people. LinkedIn is a great resource for networking and building your personal brand, as is attending industry events. Technology changes, companies go under or change ownership, but solid networking and personal brand development will make you future-proof.

SSI: If you could point to one person in the security industry and tell up-and-comers, “Make sure to listen to what they have to say,” whom would you pick and why?

Jake Voll, the president of SS&Si Dealer Network and recently elected ESA Associate Member Director. Jake is a MAJOR advocate for security dealers and integrators, offering a plethora of value-adds as a distributor such as private-labeling, as well as providing insight on RMR growth, mergers and acquisitions, and customer retention— all free on his weekly podcast and in his Facebook group Burglar Alarms Online. He’s truly a wealth of knowledge, a rising star, and a great person to know and follow in the industry.

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
