Customer Testimonial
“One of my priorities as Principal of St. Columba is keeping our students and staff safe and protected. With that in mind, we decided to look for a company that would help us with the design and implementation of a complete security system that included Cameras, Access Control and Alarm. During this process we compared different technologies, the one that stood out for its capabilities was Verkada. We could not find another company that had the feature set and capabilities that they give. Once we selected Verkada, we brought in GotUWired for implementation. They installed everything in a professional manner and stayed true to the timeline. The deployment and training were smooth and easy to understand. We have been extremely satisfied with the product and integration provided by both companies.”
