THE AKROS APPROACH CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB We drill down to the basics. What do you actually need? What are the tools you need to get you there without unnecessary bells and whistles? CONTEXT IS KING Knowing the intricacies of where you work is paramount. We involve local leadership and keep everyone involved with feedback loops. WE DESIGN + BUILD Not only do we design the right surveillance system for your needs, we walk along side you as the system is built and implemented. LONG-HAUL THINKING Many surveillance systems are designed to be used for one project for a specified period of time. So that’s how they’re designed. We don’t like that. Our systems are designed to be something that can be passed along to be used well into the future.
