WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER!  

Tri-Ed / Northern Video Distribution is North America’s largest independent distributor of surveillance, low voltage, home automation and network infrastructure products. We are proud to provide state-of-the-art solutions from the industry’s leading manufacturers of CCTV, IP, access control, fire, intrusion, sound, communications, structured cable, and home automation products.  

In March 2010, Tri-Ed Distribution and Northern Video Systems combined to create an even greater value proposition for our customers and suppliers. With 43 locations across the US and Canada - and growing! - Tri-Ed / Northern Video Distribution offers personal customer service, ongoing technical systems support, flexible credit terms, next day shipping, purchasing rewards, and ongoing training programs. Customers can make purchases online through our ecommerce site or visit any of our retail locations to check out and demo our products in person.  

Our sales team, network specialists and business development managers are dedicated to educating customers on new offerings and applications. Our valued supplier partners also offer ongoing Counter Days and training seminars in each branch location so Tri-Ed / Northern Video customers can stay competitive, profitable, and ahead of the technology learning curve. We not only deliver the products customers need when they need them, we also continually train customers on their applications and capabilities. 

As part of our commitment to training, we continue to offer our highly successful North American IP Video Technology Tour. The Level I, ESA-certified training classes, which cover the basics of networking, IP configuration, and IP / network video recording, attracted thousands of security dealers and integrators across the US and Canada in 2010.  Level II of Tri-Ed / Northern Video's IP training seminar series covers the OSI model, IP naming structure, network design best practices and switch basics. ESA certification for the Level II class is expected to be announced soon, and Level I classes will continue to be offered upon request.  

Our innovative Great Expectations Customer Loyalty Program, now in its sixth year, continues to capture the support of customers and manufacturers alike. As the security industry’s richest rewards program, Great Expectations provides customers with points on every purchase made with Tri-Ed / Northern Video. Points are redeemable for merchandise including electronics, sporting goods and travel. It's just one of the ways we show our customers how much we appreciate their business. 

Serving customers, vendors, and the industry as a whole is our privilege and priority. Our commitment to excellence is threaded throughout the entire company and is exemplified by our Leadership Team – Steve Roth, Chief Executive Officer, Pat Comunale, President and Chief Operating Officer, and James Rothstein, Executive Vice President. 

Everyone at Tri-Ed / Northern Video works passionately to exceed expectations, one customer at a time. Tri-Ed / Northern Video Distribution is a transformed company. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and exceed your expectations.
