Authenticated & safe security components
Companies in the security industry require genuine and defect free electrical components. Security system components should be purchased with a range of different criteria, not just chosen for cost savings. Knowledge and experience with global certifications, regulations and protocols are also of great importance to security customers. Princeps always delivers for its security clients with a range of industry recognised accreditations and long term partnerships under our belt.
The security sector is made up of critical infrastructure where technological reliability, precision and integrity are non negotiable in their systems. Security technologies are built to protect lives, assets and national interests across a broad range of diverse settings, from critical national infrastructure and government facilities to commercial and private security systems, further qualifying the need for reliable components.
Our security sector clients need more than standardised component procurement, they require a strategic sourcing partner who has:
- Full EEE technical expertise
- The highest quality standards
- Specialist vetted manufacturing partners
- Complete knowledge of global security protocols
- Advanced traceability methods
- In depth component inspection processes

What is a security component supplier?
A security component supplier identifies, vets and delivers electronic, electrical and EEE parts that security systems require for full functionality. This could be in use cases such as access control hardware, surveillance circuitry, alarm sensors and biometric readers. If the components aren’t legitimate then the systems built around them become unreliable which can become a critical safety and security issue.
The component supplier's job isn't just buying the electronic parts. It requires tracing every component back to its original manufacturer, screening for counterfeits and keeping supply lines intact even during global shortages or tech upgrades.
Princeps handles this thoroughly for clients in the security industry. We have vast experience in working with security system clients across global markets to source genuine, fully traceable EEE components which also include obsolete, outdated and challenging to discover parts. Once a part is sourced, we then subject it to detailed supply chain inspection before it reaches a client’s production line. Our AS6081 accreditation confirms our rigorous processes and we are proud to have a vetted international supplier network.
For security system manufacturers our services enable lower procurement risks. Components will arrive at your facility with documentation suitable for auditing, sourced through a process designed to catch problems before they become a financial risk.
Who are component suppliers to the security industry?
Component suppliers in the security industry are specialist procurement and testing partners who provide crucial electronic parts which are then built into professional security products. Products may include surveillance cameras, intruder detection systems and access control units, for example.
This type of supplier are not general part distributors. Security industry suppliers operate under tighter tolerances as parts have to be authentic, fully traceable and inspected against tight security quality standards. One single fake or substandard component in a security product can compromise an entire product, system or security installation.
At Princeps we are a specialist security component supplier, boasting a global sourcing network and in house supply chain testing capabilities. Princeps locates genuine EEE components, including long lead time and obsolete lines, for security OEMs who cannot risk procurement which may result in poor quality or counterfeit parts. Our range of accreditations back up our credentials and our processes provide the documentary evidence that security compliance requires.
Where some distributors prioritise volume, we prioritise verification. Every component sourced for a security industry client is screened, documented and traceable to the origin to reduce the risk of counterfeits and keep production schedules on time even if the rest of the market is under pressure.
