Security giant ALDER officially launched ALDER AI to spearhead modern video surveillance solutions. The strategic transition follows fifteen years of building large-scale security operations nationwide. Furthermore, the company completed the sale of hundreds of thousands of legacy alarm accounts over recent years.
Today, ALDER and its affiliated companies maintain robust financial positions across hardware and software sectors. These established divisions currently generate millions of dollars in recurring monthly revenue. Consequently, management leverages this strong financial foundation to drive future innovation. Industry leaders now focus heavily on AI-powered video surveillance and threat detection.
“For years, the alarm system was at the center of the security industry, and cameras were an addition to it. We believe that relationship is changing,” said Adam Schanz, founder and CEO of ALDER. “Video is increasingly becoming the center of the experience, and AI gives us the ability to make that video more intelligent, proactive and useful. ALDER AI is about building around that shift.”
Advanced Technologies Transform Standard Video Surveillance Networks
Moreover, ALDER AI introduces comprehensive solutions that merge intelligent cameras with continuous monitoring. The new suite combines real-time alerts, software tools, NVR technology, and wireless 4G connectivity. Additionally, solar-powered systems provide reliable protection for off-grid property setups.
This modern ecosystem upgrades passive recording setups into proactive video surveillance platforms. Thus, security teams receive instant actionable insights during active intruder incidents.
“We’ve spent more than 15 years learning how to build sales organizations, acquire customers, develop technology and operate at scale,” Schanz said. “We successfully built and monetized a substantial legacy alarm portfolio that I am proud of the people and teams that participated with us along the way. Today our affiliated brands remain financially strong with substantial recurring revenue. That gives us the ability to look forward and invest in what we believe is the next major evolution of the industry and have major impact.”
Executive Leadership Drives National Expansion
Meanwhile, Zac Whitworth steps into the role of Managing Director at ALDER AI. Whitworth oversees total operational execution, field operations, distribution, and national sales growth.
Furthermore, Whitworth brings extensive expertise in scaling direct-to-consumer sales organizations across the country. He unites existing corporate infrastructure with next-generation video surveillance hardware and top industry talent.
“We have a unique opportunity to build with the energy and ambition of something new, while drawing on the experience, infrastructure and resources of an organization that has been doing this successfully for a long time,” said Whitworth. “One of ALDER’s greatest strengths is the team already here. Leaders like Matt Harris have a proven track record of scaling the sales organization and developing great people, and we have some of the best sales talent I’ve worked around in this industry. I’m excited to build on that foundation adding great new people and applying our experience to a technology and market we believe have an enormous future.”
Empowering Sales Talent with Long-Term Growth Programs
Additionally, ALDER AI establishes residual compensation programs for field representatives and college students. Qualified team members gain access to recurring revenue shares, internships, and leadership scholarships.
Therefore, employees build long-term equity alongside competitive commission earnings. ALDER AI strengthens its national footprint by scaling next-gen video surveillance deployment teams nationwide.
“We want great people to have the opportunity not only to earn with us, but to build with us in a way they cannot at any other organization,” Whitworth said. “The future will be built off what we have learned from the past, and we want great people to benefit from all the unique opportunities this organization provides and I’m excited to be a part of it. Owning the hardware, software, distribution, and the entire customer experience with this technology sets this opportunity apart.”
