I do appreciate and feel very confident that when I put a product on the wall, it's pretty much filled the need that we needed when they were transitioning out of old POTS lines and switching to Voice Over IP phone system that our equipment just didn't like. We had nothing but problems with it and putting the TG-7FS on them was basically the ultimate fix for us. "

Celebrating 40 Years of Telguard

In the early 1980s, the personal and commercial security landscape looked awfully different from what we take for granted today. While we might get nostalgic thinking of rotary dialing or busy signals with the landlines inside our homes, those same wires were once the lifeline for alarm systems, and a simple snip was all it took to sever a home or business from help. It was that false sense of security – that misguided belief that a home or business was safe when in reality it was just a $2 pair of wire cutters away from being vulnerable – that inspired Telguard founder William De Nicolo to take a new approach.

Melody Parham, Telguard’s Director of Sales, has heard variations of this origin story many times over her 25+ years with the company. “There are stories about phone lines being cut, homes being broken into, people who thought they were secure and weren’t. That’s really why a product like ours was created 40 years ago.”

The founding idea is rooted in something deeply human: everyone deserves that feeling of safety that a reliable security system can provide. That simple ethos has been Telguard’s north star for four decades and counting.
