Team Working in the System Room

Serving Montana for over 50 years

Advanced communications & security for facilities, assets, and people.

Welcome to the Beacon Communications Missoula, Montana office!

We’re proud to say we’ve been providing security systems to business, government, education, healthcare, and more throughout Montana from the same Missoula office location since 1974, originally as PhotoScan Northwest. As of 2018, we were acquired by Beacon Communications and have expanded our bandwidth, services, technology partners, and capabilities to better serve our local Montana market.
 

Since 1974, we’ve provided countless security camera surveillance video, card access control, burglary/intrusion, panic, and emergency lockdown alarm systems, intercoms, structured network cabling, A/V audio video and fire alarm protection systems to residences, businesses, utilities, schools, and hospitals throughout Montana and surrounding regions. 

 

We are here after the installation as well, to give you local support with maintenance, repair service, inspections, technical support and training. When necessary, we can access manufacturer level support for your systems, as well.

 

Beacon Communications brought the resources of a national organization to Montana with an expanded portfolio of security and healthcare products, services, and teams of experienced professionals. We are pleased to be partners with Rauland Nurse Call and TelecenterU, Edwards Fire Safety, Lenel S2 OnGuard access control, Milestone Systems and Avigilon Video, along with many other top tier, innovative technology manufacturers. 

 

We’re looking forward to meeting and working personally with you to provide the highest level of safety solutions, security systems, and services that help give you peace of mind while keeping your organization protected and connected.
