Ideal Security Systems was established almost 20 year ago in June of 2005.

Proving to be a leader in the industry is what makes Ideal Security the company of choice for respected clients such as Marriott Hotels, Related Management, Greystar, Bozzuto, AvalonBay and many others.
Jason Gross is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of IDEAL Security. Prior to Founding IDEAL, Mr. Gross incorporated Eye In The Sky Security in 2003, a DVR (digital video recorder) manufacturing company.

After years of dedication to the manufacturing industry, Mr. Gross decided to split his time and incorporated IDEAL in June of 2005. The company grew at a rapid pace and continues to service some of the most known clients in their industries such as Related Management, AvalonBay, Greystar, Bozzuto, Marriott Hotels, Gilbane Construction, Ritz-Carlton, and St. Regis hotels.
