SOT - Security and Observation Technologies Ltd.

SOT – SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS EOOD, known as SOT 161, is a subsidiary of SECTRON OOD, the biggest importer of technical security and protection systems in Bulgaria. The company was registered more than 27 years ago, on January 7, 1994, by Dipl. Eng. Pavel Videnov. It is the first company in the country specialized in guarding sites using security alarm systems. It involves the guarding functions related to the use of the first private radio system manufactured by KP Electronics, Israel, and commissioned by SECTRON OOD on April 1, 1993. This was the first time when a base station for monitoring was developed and mobile teams were formed to respond to alarm signals received from sites in Lozenets Quarter which marked the beginning of private security services in Bulgaria. A year after its registration, the company started providing physical guarding services for sites. Gradually, as the number of sites increased, the opportunities and potential of the company grew stronger. Today, SOT – Security Alarm Systems EOOD (SOT 161) is the biggest security company in Bulgaria and the Balkans. Since 2006 SOT 161 has had affiliates in Belgrade, the capital of neighboring Serbia, and for the period from 2001 to 2014, SOT 161 established over 4500 sites in Skopje, Macedonia guarded using security alarm systems. The company provides security alarm services, physical guarding of property, and specialized security, i.e. guarding of valuables and cargo, personal protection and guarding of mass events. The company designs, monitors and maintains all kinds of technical security systems. Since 2013 SOT 161 has been providing national coverage and ensuring protection of more than 100,000 sites throughout the country. For the last 11 years SOT 161 has been providing Emergency Medical Assistance services to its clients, for the first time in the country.
