Who We Are

DSI was founded with a simple, if not lofty, goal... Be the best. Our parents did not raise us to be runner-ups or silver medalists. If we are going to do something, we want to be great at it. For the past 20 years, our talented team has worked hard at being the best. So the question is - the best at what?

We determined early on that in order to be the best in the marketplace, Los Angeles, CA, the US, or the world we had to be great at the following things:

  • Design world-class systems as trusted home automation installers that are high-performance, reliable, and most importantly, easy-to-use 
  • Provide fanatical customer service to our clients when service is needed
  • Always act in the best interest of our clients as their trusted home automation installer and technology consultant
  • We have made it our mission and our passion to excel at these three pillars of our business.

Along the way, people noticed.

Our group of professionals has received more than 100 significant industry awards which makes us the most decorated team in our industry. Our growth is fueled by the quality work that we perform and the satisfaction of our clients. Our clients consistently reward our friendly staff, fanatical service, and honest advice with referrals to their friends and family. DSI has assembled the best and brightest talents in our industry. Highly skilled personnel from within our industry and adjacent technologies, from residential audio video installations to commercial AV installations, consistently knock at our door for employment in Los Angeles, CA, and the surrounding areas.

Our hard work and focus has placed us in the fortunate position at the top of the consideration list for some of the most amazing construction projects in the world. Three projects highlighting the outstanding work of our team members were recently featured in Architectural Digest.

Our core management team established roots in the industry in 1994 when DSI began operations. More than 20 years later we continue to strive to be the best, to provide fanatical service, innovative technology solutions and sound advice to our appreciative clients. Our amazing team of superstars with over 250 years of accumulated experience, is as passionate about their work as they have ever been.

Now that you know something about us, we look forward to finding out more about you and how we can make your residential Los Angeles, CA audio video installation or commercial AV installation successful.
