Northern Video

I used them for CCTV in the past and they also had lots of access control stuff:

http://www.northernvideo.com/home.html

Another one was Security Cameras Direct

http://www.securitycamerasdirect.com/?k ... ty&x=0&y=0

once you have accounts with them the prices are much nicer than the ones listed on the public website, and the more volume you buy the better the prices.


I don't personally know this company but they came up in google searches: http://accesscontrolhut.com/main.sc

hope this helps you out

What brands are you looking for? If you do enough business you might get 45% on major brands but no better than that. How many points do you mark up your parts generally and do you sub-contract with access control companies? I know if you sub-contract you aren't going to be able to mark up as many points because they can buy the materials directly. You make it up a bit on labor but make your money through volume.
