Services
Fire Alarm Systems
Our fire alarm systems provide early warning detection through networked devices integrated with building infrastructure. We handle full lifecycle management from initial design and code compliance to installation, programming, and ongoing maintenance. Certified technicians perform regular inspections and UL-certified upgrades to ensure system reliability for commercial and industrial facilities.
Access Control
Integrated access control solutions manage facility security through card readers, biometric scanners, and centralized monitoring. Systems support real-time authorization modifications, activity logging, and integration with other security platforms. We configure solutions for healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure applications requiring multi-level security protocols.
Structured Cabling
Structured cabling services create scalable backbone networks for voice, data, and security systems. We install fiber optic, copper, and wireless infrastructure meeting TIA-568 standards. Testing verifies performance metrics for data centers, office complexes, and industrial facilities requiring high-availability connectivity solutions.
Nurse Call Systems
Dedicated nurse call systems enhance patient care through reliable communication networks. Features include wireless pendants, bed station alerts, and integration with hospital information systems. We implement solutions compliant with healthcare regulations while maintaining interoperability with existing facility infrastructure.
System Monitoring
24/7 system monitoring services cover fire, security, and life safety systems through central station connections. Proprietary monitoring options allow facility-specific alert management. We maintain service level agreements guaranteeing response times for critical system events across commercial and institutional client locations.

Report
Had a maintenance contract with them but could never get them to respond to my calls.guess we were not important enough to make any effort. Now I want my money refunded and I just keep getting told that it is in process.months later. Poor customer service and business practices.

Report
We bought a new building and moved from a large multi-tenant office building that had multiple layers of security. BST worked with us to design a security system including a complicated remote door opening system. The remote door opener was a difficult retrofit, but they stuck with it and got it all functioning nicely. We are very happy with the system and their employees and feel very secure in our stand-alone building, now. They can handle a myriad of building systems from computer cabling to security systems and can educate and consult as opposed to simply selling and installing a system. I recommend them.
