Often the first stop for all summer concert series to the Hartford Metro area, the Comcast Theatre has featured a wide variety of acts from Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews Band, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Rascal Flatts, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzfest Tour, and much more. Instrumental to keeping the facility secure, NAPCO's Gemini Security System and Keypad, Model GEM-RP1CAe2, are used daily to protect this bustling entertainment venue.

Richard Soloway, Chairman and President of NAPCO, commented, "The Company's popular Gemini Security System is consistently chosen because of its ease of use, reliability, and built-in business management features, such as open/close reporting, time scheduled auto-arming and maintenance-free operation. Another top feature is that today, any of NAPCO's Gemini Systems can be securely controlled via a free smart phone app (Droid™ or Apple®) or online, for 24/7 security management, from anywhere across the globe."

All of these attributes assure the world class entertainers at the Comcast Theatre are well protected with a world-class security solution. Gemini and new Gemini Commercial Systems are also scalable for theatres, arenas and businesses of all kinds, for 6 to 255 zones/points of coverage, partitioned into separate areas for separate times and users, such as concession area vs. the stage, for example. Its hardwire and wireless flexibility adapts to all types of construction, easily expanded for management's growing needs. This installation at New England's premier venue serves as a model for thousands of other entertainment venues that want a state-of-the-art solution to protect people where they live, work, study, and recreate, and choose to rely on NAPCO Security Technologies.
