With the addition of product offerings from DSC and COPS Monitoring, AVAD dealers can depend on AVAD to serve as its ‘one-stop’ shop for virtually any project—including residential, commercial and security.”
The DSC products stocked by AVAD include complete security systems, wireless control panels, and wireless remotes and keypads, motion detectors and sirens.
