Copp Systems, a Dayton, Ohio-based security and communications systems provider, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Copp Systems (formerly Copp Integrated Systems) was founded in 1920 by Roy Stanley Copp, an engineer and member of the “Dayton Boys,” a group of young engineers and students interested in technology. Copp began selling and servicing RCA living room consoles from his Monument Avenue storefront to prominent Dayton families, including the Wrights, Deeds, and Ketterings.
As the business grew and new technologies emerged, Copp Systems added numerous communications systems to its offerings. Today, Copp Systems consults, designs, installs and maintains systems that integrate fire/life safety, video surveillance, access control, nurse call, audio-visual systems and monitoring applications. The firm is also proud to be one of the licensees of Footprint, an innovative web-based situational software developed in partnership with the University of Dayton Research Institute’s Software Systems Group.
