Monitronics Dealer Manager Named to '20 Under 40' List

Travis Miller, senior manager of dealer development at Monitronics International, has been named to Security Systems News’ “20 under 40” Class of 2011.

The fifth annual Security Systems News “20 under 40” awards recognize talented young people who stand out in the security industry. Winners are chosen for demonstrating hard work, ambition, creativity and leadership, qualities that Miller embodies every day.

"There are a lot of issues with quality of work and integrity in the industry," Miller said. "I just would like to leave my mark by being sure I'm leaving a full body of work and being diligent and having a full sense of integrity in all I do."

Miller said today’s security industry provides amazing opportunities for young people, and now is the time for security organizations to recruit younger generations.

"I think there's so much opportunity for young executives here," he says. "I think having more scholarship opportunities and having more of a presence on campuses around the country, more of an awareness, will help."

Prior to joining Monitronics, Miller was director of operations at Stone Security, an authorized dealer for Monitronics. He joined Monitronics in 2008 as national account manager and was responsible for developing and managing customer relationships with Monitronics’ top 30 producing dealers and for setting each account’s overall strategic direction.

Miller’s role as the senior manager of dealer development enables him to support Monitronics dealers. Working with the company’s regional account coordinators, he develops ways to engage and train new dealers, provide them with continuing education, and establish a strong working relationship between Monitronics and each dealer.

    I have been looking forward to this year’s GSX show in New Orleans, the Cresent City, or if you prefer The Big Easy. It seems like quite a while since we’ve been here. Twenty years ago, ASIS, as it was known then was literally washed out of the city by someone known as Katrina. It is a good thing to come back to NOLA. Read Now

  • From Monitors to Mission Control

    Security Operations Centers (SOC) were once defined by rows of static monitors, each displaying a single feed with operators quietly watching for issues. That model has become obsolete. Incidents evolve too quickly, data comes from multiple locations, and decisions must be made in seconds—not minutes. Read Now

    A8V MIND

    Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.
