Manufacturer Security Representatives Serving the Southeast for 20+ Years
We're not a manufacturer, and we're not a reseller. We're YOUR advocate.
David Tonsberg
David founded Security Reps in 2003 after 12 years in the security industry — first as a technical installer, then as a regional sales manager for a national manufacturer. He saw a problem: manufacturers pushed their own products even when a competitor's solution was better for the client.
His philosophy was simple: recommend the best solution for the client, not the highest-margin product.
Today, Security Reps serves healthcare, education, and transportation organizations across the Southeast. David's close rate is 75% when he controls the sale — not because of aggressive sales tactics, but because clients trust his objectivity.
Credentials
- Factory-trained on Paige Datacom, Cambium Networks, and leading surveillance manufacturers

- Certified systems integrator for healthcare, education, and transportation facilities
"I don't sell products. I solve problems. Sometimes that means a $50,000 system. Sometimes it means telling a client they don't need to spend anything. My job is to make sure you get the right solution."
Why We're Different
We're Independent
We represent multiple manufacturers, which means we recommend what's best for YOU — not what's best for our margins. If one manufacturer's camera is better for your application, we'll tell you — even if another manufacturer pays us higher margins.
We're Local
Twenty years serving the Southeast. We know your compliance requirements, work with local contractors, and respond quickly when you need us. National vendors can't match that.
We're Technical
We don't just sell — we design, troubleshoot, and support. Factory-trained on every product we represent. When something breaks, we fix it.
We Stick Around
Most vendors disappear after the sale. We're here for upgrades, training, troubleshooting, and expansion. We're local, so we're invested in long-term relationships.
