Surveillance Systems Incorporated (SSI) - South Lake Tahoe Verkada Access Control and Intrusion System
In 2022, the District Attorney’s Office transitioned the security system at their Placerville offices from Sonitrol to SSI Verkada and is now looking to follow suit with updating the system at their South Lake Tahoe office, located at 1360 Johnson Blvd. South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150.

SSI has quoted the office $38,615.64 for the Verkada door intrusion system components, installation, and a 10-year license.
