Integrated Parking solutions since 1978.
Integrated Parking solutions since 1978.
Since 1978, SECOM has designed, manufactured, and supported integrated parking access and revenue control systems built for operational visibility, accountability, and long-term reliability.
OUR STORY
Founded by Ted Burton and Terry Bixler, SECOM began with experience in banking security and transaction processing, where accuracy, accountability, and system reliability were critical.
That same thinking shaped SECOM’s approach to parking. At a time when parking operations relied heavily on ticket dispensers, gates, and manual cashiering, SECOM helped introduce centralized processing, reporting, and operational control.
Today, with more than 5,000 installations, SECOM continues to build parking technology that connects entry, exit, payment, credentials, reporting, and management into one integrated platform.
ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
SECOM is an engineer-led company focused on practical innovation. Every parking operation is different, so SECOM develops systems that adapt to each facility rather than forcing operators into rigid technology.

This gives SECOM greater control over reliability, support, system performance, and long-term upgradeability.

Real-time data and analytics tools to monitor, manage, and optimize performance.
Advanced access control solutions that integrate seamlessly with parking systems.
Secure, flexible payment solutions and mobile experiences for today’s parkers.

Built for the Long Term
Zero-obsolescence philosophy
Linux-based controller architecture
On-premise operational control
Upgradeable software and hardware platforms
Long-term customer support
Continued support for legacy systems
Since its founding, Secom has maintained a philosophy focused on longevity, upgradeability, and operational continuity.
Parking facilities are long-term investments, and technology decisions made today often impact operations for decades. For that reason, Secom systems are designed to support ongoing enhancement rather than complete replacement.

Meet Chuck & Charlie
Every engineering organization needs a few inspectors.
While SECOM’s engineers handle parking technology, Chuck and Charlie oversee daily factory operations from carefully selected locations throughout the building.
Their engineering contributions remain undocumented, but their work in morale support, facility inspections, and unofficial quality assurance is ongoing.
