Digital Systems Installation

Founding Story

"I founded Digital Systems Installation (DSI) in 2008 while I was a full-time police officer with the Weber County Sheriff’s Office. Drawing on my extensive expertise in video and surveillance equipment, I began helping local communities respond to rising crime concerns and evolving security needs.

With support from fellow enthusiasts and early adoption of innovative technologies that gained national attention, DSI was born. From the beginning, my focus was simple: deliver reliable, thoughtful security solutions that people could trust.

Nearly two decades later, DSI has emerged as a leader in heavy and light industrial and manufacturing sectors, specializing in advanced surveillance and security systems. While the business has evolved, the foundation remains the same—technical excellence, integrity, and a commitment to protecting people, property, and operations."

Why Cobalt

"It is these proven qualities—combined with growing demand—that prompted DSI and Cobalt to partner together. Together, we are accelerating innovative solutions to long-standing industry needs, tackling challenges that have persisted across heavy and light industrial and manufacturing sectors. The unique strengths, expertise, and diversity of Cobalt and DSI create a powerful synergy, driving meaningful influence in the security community. This partnership is more than a business alignment—it positions us to shape the future of the industry and inspire evolution—because we exist."
