A family-owned low-voltage integration company with roots in the security industry dating back to the 1970s. From a small installation company to one of the Tri-State area's experienced security integrators.
ESS began as a security installation company with roots reaching back to the 1970s. What started as a focused operation serving local businesses and residences has grown into an experienced low-voltage and technology integration firm serving the entire Tri-State area.
Founded and led by Donald Coords, ESS has remained family-owned and operated across decades of industry evolution. That continuity means our clients work with people who understand both the legacy of traditional security systems and the capabilities of modern technology platforms.
Today, ESS provides complete solutions from initial security assessment and system design through professional installation and ongoing service. Our team serves residential, commercial, institutional, and multi-dwelling markets across New Jersey, New York, and the surrounding region.
Roots in the security industry dating to the 1970s. Decades of hands-on experience designing, installing, and servicing security systems across the region.
Led by Donald Coords and family. The same ownership continuity that means accountability, direct communication, and genuine investment in every project.
Fully licensed in New Jersey (Lic. #13VH01930500, #34BF00022800). Our work meets all state and local code requirements for security system installation.
This mission guides every project we take on. It means recommending what is right for your facility, not what is most expensive. It means standing behind our work with ongoing service and support. And it means treating every client's security as if it were our own.
Every security system begins with a thorough assessment and custom design tailored to your facility's unique needs, layout, and operational requirements. We engineer solutions, not sell products off a shelf.
From initial consultation through installation and ongoing service, you work with one team who knows your system inside and out. No handoffs between departments, no finger-pointing between contractors.
For institutional clients, we design security solutions that align with available grant program requirements, helping maximize your potential for eligible funding while ensuring your security needs are fully addressed.
Security is not a one-time purchase. We build relationships that span years, providing maintenance, upgrades, and responsive service as your needs evolve and technology advances.
