Our Story!

Founded in 1979, Monitor Dynamics (MDI) has been at the forefront of advancing security technology for over four decades. From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to deliver unified security management solutions that protect people, property, and information at the highest level.

As a proud U.S. manufacturer, we design and build our technologies domestically to ensure quality, reliability, and innovation. This foundation gives us the ability to respond quickly to evolving security challenges while maintaining complete accountability to our customers. Today, our systems secure organizations across government, military, commercial, and enterprise sectors worldwide.

At the heart of our innovation are two powerful access control platforms:

• SAFEnet – our award-winning hybrid software/hardware platform that integrates access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection into a single, open-architecture command and control system. SAFEnet delivers real-time, enterprise-wide security management that meets the most demanding compliance standards.
   
• iTRUST – a next-generation, pure IP-based access control solution, designed for organizations seeking a flexible, scalable, and cost-effective system without sacrificing performance or security.
   

Complementing our software platforms is the Universal Door Controller (UDC) — a revolutionary piece of hardware engineered to give customers unmatched flexibility and performance at the edge. Designed with an open, future-ready architecture, the UDC enables seamless integration with SAFEnet, iTRUST, and third-party systems, providing organizations with a single, intelligent controller that simplifies deployments, reduces costs, and enhances scalability.

Like many pioneering companies, our journey has not been without challenges. But resilience defines us. When faced with difficulties, we rebuilt stronger — modernizing our processes, embracing secure software development practices, and reinforcing our culture of innovation. This spirit of determination has allowed us to thrive and expand as a trusted leader in the security industry.

Monitor Dynamics continues to lead with innovation, compliance, and customer partnership. From enhancing access control hardware like the UDC, to evolving the SAFEnet ecosystem, we are shaping the future of secure, intelligent environments. For us, security isn’t just technology — it’s trust, integrity, and a promise to safeguard what matters most.
