Operating throughout New York
Highline Integrated Security is a security integrator in New York for commercial buildings and the networks their systems run on.
Highline exists so a commercial building in New York has one team for its whole security system: design, door hardware, infrastructure and software.
We design, install, integrate and maintain the system, so one company is accountable for making it work.
As a commercial security integrator in NYC, we keep design and delivery in one team.
Designs are buildable
The people who specify the system install it, so frame preparation, riser capacity and platform fit are settled on paper.
Compliance is settled early
Egress release, fail-safe or fail-secure locking, ADA heights and landmark constraints are resolved per door.
Accountability continues after handover
Managed service and lifecycle support cover every layer, from a broken hinge to cut wiring.
Landmark buildings are where our accountability shows.
We engineered heavy-duty hinges for an oversized freight door to landmark approval standards, and built high-security aluminum storefront replicas in Carnegie Hall's pecan color. Read the Carnegie Hall project
We built replica gilded stage doors for City Center, and delivered New York City Ballet's David H. Koch Training Center with MAD and SPK/Lewis, on time and within budget.
At Pacha NYC we delivered cabling, access control, 200+ AI-powered cameras and occupancy software across two venues, with 25+ technicians at once. Our people-counting platform, built for Mirage, was adopted by Christie's. Read the Pacha NYC project · See the Christie's platform

Every project follows seven stages, run by one team.
We map doors, risers, existing systems and how people move.
Each layer specified per door; cloud or on-premise chosen to fit the building and multi-site plans.
We sequence our work with the GC and other trades, so rough-in and inspection dates hold.
Our own technicians install and label every component; larger projects are phased.
Every door, camera and integration is verified against the design.
Your team learns to add users and handle alarms; you receive as-builts and configuration documentation.
A 12-month warranty, then managed service, maintenance and legacy system upgrades as the building changes.
From our General Manager: "When we do a Salto Space setup, we have to send our best guy on-site for hours. When we do a KS install, we can get it all prepped remotely in about 45 minutes. Night and day difference in our speed to deliver." — Ari Amotz, General Manager
Every system we deliver spans three layers, and we own all three: physical hardware (openings, electrified door hardware, hinges, readers), infrastructure (structured cabling, servers, switching, firewalls) and a unified platform for access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, intercom and visitor management.
We engineer and fabricate doors in-house, so the physical layer of access control is never subcontracted. A custom landmark hinge is designed by the same team that wires the reader. See our commercial door repair and installation
Cameras, readers and intercoms are network devices, so physical and network security belong in one plan. We manage the switching, segmentation and firewalls beneath them on Cisco Meraki and Alta Labs. Enterprise network services in NYC · Our cybersecurity services
Five values describe how we behave on a project.
Accountability
One partner owns the outcome, from design to maintenance.

Licensed, certified professionals who know US code.
Long-term partnership

FAQs
Short answers on what an integrator does, how to choose one, staff training, support and where we work.
A security integrator in New York designs and connects access control, video, intercom and alarm systems so they work as one. We also install and maintain them.
The difference between a security integrator and an installer is who owns the system. An installer fits the devices it is given; an integrator designs how the layers work together and answers for the result.
To choose a security integrator for a commercial building, check its license, manufacturer certifications and work in similar buildings. Then ask who answers when the lock and the server stop talking.
Yes, we train your staff and support the system after handover, with as-built documentation and a 12-month warranty. Managed-service clients get 24/7 support with a 4-hour response on critical failures.
Yes, we only work on commercial and institutional properties, across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. In multi-tenant buildings, the owner or managing agent is our client.
