The company is new. The expertise isn't.

More than fifteen years of hands-on security and electronics work, brought home to Garden City and southwest Kansas — with one simple rule: the watching is always for you.

Veillance Security & Electronics was founded by Fritz Groenewald, who spent more than fifteen years in security and electronics before bringing the trade to southwest Kansas. He learned it in South Africa — a place where security isn't a box you bolt on after a break-in. It's planned, layered, and done properly the first time, because there's precious little room for second chances. That standard came with him, and it lives in every job we touch.

He settled in Garden City for the same reasons you're here: it's a place where your word still means something, where a handshake counts, and where neighbors look out for one another. Veillance is the professional version of exactly that — watchfulness you can count on, run by someone local who answers his own phone.

“Security done properly, or not done at all. There's no halfway when it's someone's home or livelihood on the line.”

Cameras are where most people start with us — but the work runs a lot deeper. Ajax alarm systems you actually own, with no forced monthly fees. Point-to-point wireless that reaches a grain bin miles past the last power pole. Smart automation that starts an auger or locks a gate from your phone. And custom electronics, engineered from scratch, for the jobs no off-the-shelf kit can solve. One team, every scale — from a single dome over a front door to a forty-camera commercial site.

The name

Why “Veillance”?

Most people know the word surveillance — literally “watching from above,” the eye in the sky watching the public. We took it apart.

Veillance is the root that sits inside it: the pure act of watching. Strip away the “sur-” and you're left with watchfulness itself — without the heavy-handed sense of being watched over. That's the whole idea behind what we do: the watching is for you, on your property, under your control. Not surveillance of you. Veillance with you.

The chameleon in our logo captures it — vigilant, adaptable, always watching, with a circuit-trace tail for the electronics side of the craft.

From the Latin vigilāre

Latin vigilāre — “to stay awake, to be watchful”

Old French veillier — “to keep watch”

French veiller — “to watch”

veillance— “the act of watching”

Specified, not guessed

Every system is designed to your property and your real risks — the right gear in the right places, never a one-size box kit.

Commercial-grade for the little guy

The same professional hardware that protects big facilities, scaled and priced for a single home or a small shop.

No forced monthly fees

With Ajax, you own your system and self-monitor free. Add professional monitoring only if you want it — never as a condition.

Reach past the last power pole

Point-to-point wireless links your shop, bins, and field sites miles out — a southwest-Kansas specialty most installers won't touch.

We build our own software

Custom tools and electronics in-house mean quoting, planning, and the tricky one-off problems get solved — not shrugged off.

Local & accountable

We live in Garden City. When you call, you reach a neighbor who installed the system — not a call center three states away.

Our mission

Watchful, by design.

To build and maintain the systems that keep homes, farms, and businesses watchful — so the people who own them can rest easy and get on with everything else. Always on your side of the camera.
