OREM, Utah-(BUSINESS WIRE)-Pinnacle Security, a leader in the residential security market, announces a year of record growth, increasing residential installations by more than 60 percent.

Munday, Chairman and CEO, Pinnacle Security, “we expect to continue expanding through strategic partnerships with high-profile brands to drive innovation within the industry, provide greater access to the most-advanced technology in home security and raise the industry standard for compliance.”
