About SightMind

"More Knowledge. More Security"

SightMind businesses design, sell, install and maintain digital video surveillance systems for medium-sized and large customers in education, local government, and industry. These systems help provide security for people and assets, lower operating costs, improve customer service, and lower employee turnover. SightMind offers you the chance to operate a business that sells, configures, installs and maintains digital video surveillance and related security systems that monitor, record and analyze activity in customers' facilities and public areas. You, the franchisee, perform all of the "customer facing" activities, such as site surveys and installation. We, the franchisor, perform all of the activities that can be centralized for efficiency, such as R&D, training, equipment approval, web site maintenance, tool creation and updates, software, tech support, marketing, branding, and national lead generation. This structural organization is fundamental to the efficiency and success of all franchising, and is a reason that franchising in the US today holds 41% (and growing) of all retail purchases. This distributed responsibility is outstandingly well suited to IPVS systems, where network monitoring, updates, re-configuration, and troubleshooting can usually be done remotely.
