Boulder’s Local Security Integrator
Boulder has a stricter review process than most Colorado cities, and it affects security work more than people expect. Exterior camera mounting, conduit runs on visible facades, and anything attached to a building in the downtown historic district can trigger design review. On a project where the camera plan assumes a straightforward exterior install, that review can add weeks. Knowing it is coming changes how the system gets designed.
The commercial base here is unusual for a city this size. Federal research facilities, a major university, aerospace and biotech employers, and a dense startup and office market around Pearl Street and Boulder Junction. Several of those tenants run their own security programs and need an integrator who will build to an existing standard rather than propose a replacement for it.

- Commercial security system design and installation. Surveillance, intrusion detection, and enterprise VMS for Boulder businesses.
- Access control. Card, mobile, and biometric credentials on Genetec, Gallagher, AMAG, and Salto platforms, for single doors up to multi-building campuses.

We hold manufacturer authorizations from Genetec, Axis, Gallagher, Avigilon, AMAG, and Salto. Authorization controls warranty coverage, software licensing, and the manufacturer support channel, which means we can program, license, and support these platforms over their full life, not just install the hardware.

The Facilities We Secure in Boulder
The University of Colorado Boulder anchors a campus with hundreds of access points across academic, research, athletic, and residential buildings. Federal research facilities in the city operate under their own security requirements, and work in those environments has to fit a program that is already defined.
Boulder also has aerospace and biotech manufacturing, laboratory and clean-room space in Flatiron Park and the Gunbarrel area, city and Boulder County government buildings, Boulder Valley School District campuses, medical office, hotels, and the retail and restaurant density around Pearl Street. We install and support systems for education, municipal and government, manufacturing, and corporate facilities in Boulder.
ESI’s History and Credentials in Northern Colorado
ESI has operated in Northern Colorado since 1984, headquartered in Fort Collins. We carry NICET certification for fire alarm work, employ CJIS-cleared technicians for facilities that handle criminal justice information, hold preferred vendor agreements with three Colorado municipalities, and participate in OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing, which lets eligible government, education, and commercial buyers procure through an existing competitively bid contract.
Our work in this region includes Larimer County, the City of Fort Collins, the City of Loveland, and Northern Colorado Regional Airport. Those are the facility types we support here: county and municipal government, transportation, and institutional clients that need systems installed correctly and maintained over time.
Why a Local Integrator Matters for Service in Boulder
Laboratory and research space puts requirements on access control that a standard office build does not. Rooms with controlled materials need their own credential groups and a log that survives an audit. Clean rooms and cold storage restrict where you can mount hardware. And in shared research buildings, the people who need access change every semester, so the provisioning process matters as much as the hardware.
We offer service agreements with preventive maintenance, which replace the unpredictable cost of emergency break-fix calls with scheduled service and priority response. If your Boulder facility runs its security systems on a break-fix model now, a service agreement is worth a conversation. Our commercial security system maintenance guide walks through what scheduled service should cover.
