Vision That Inspires Confidence
Tim Feury, Altec Systems, Inc.
(1958 – 2014)
Many knew Tim Feury as a strategic physical security partner, an "out-of-the-box" thinker, and a trusted client-focused advocate. He had an insatiable curiosity about the latest and greatest in technology and a passion for helping organizations protect their people, facilities, and assets through innovative security solutions.
Tim’s humility, charisma, and endearing sense of humor gave him an amazing ability to “hold court” with any group while ensuring everyone felt comfortable and entertained. This fine mix of qualities made Tim uniquely Tim.
Security Was His Passion
Tim Feury founded Altec Systems, Inc. in 1994. He gained his early security industry experience at ADT and Honeywell Systems prior to launching his own physical security and technology solutions company in Georgia.
Tim served on the board of directors of PSA Security Network for six years (2007–2013). He also acted as chairman of PSA’s Technical Committee, which produced a healthy mix of innovative technical solutions and services for its members each year.
The Building Owners and Managers Association of Metro Atlanta and the American Society of Industrial Security were just a few of the many industry associations where Tim contributed his time and talent.
Tim’s practical perspective on the security industry and his forward-thinking vision of emerging technologies—including Access Control, IP Video, and integrated security systems—made him a sought-after advisor and panel member.
Then and Now
Hailing from New Jersey, Tim was the father of three fine men. He had a sweet daughter-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter. Tim was a brother to seven siblings, a relative and friend to many, and an avid dog lover.
On June 12, 2014, Tim passed away unexpectedly in our home, just a few days after his 56th birthday and only two weeks before our 10th wedding anniversary.
With a heavy heart, I took over as owner of Altec Systems here in Marietta, Georgia.
Fortunately, Tim’s sister, Pat, and the rest of the highly skilled and loyal Altec Systems team remained with the company.
By the grace of God, we persevered, continuing the company’s mission of serving our communities through premier physical security and commercial technology solutions—one client at a time.
Our Future
Now, years after Tim’s passing, we continue moving forward with his vision. Altec Systems continues to grow as we expand into new markets and deliver leading-edge physical security and IT services.
From Access Control and IP Video to Remote Video Guarding and cloud-based technology solutions, we remain committed to helping organizations safeguard their people, facilities, and operations.
We know Tim would be proud that the company he began so many years ago continues to thrive today.
Tim’s presence remains with us, and we have no doubt he is still positively influencing and guiding us as we embrace each new challenge and opportunity.
