Founded in 2017, ZTH Wave was formed to eliminate the coordination burden that makes enterprise and government security deployments unnecessarily complex and failure prone.
The standard model, separating vendors for cameras, software, installation, and support, creates accountability gaps that are exploited during incidents and maintenance cycles. ZTH Wave was built to close those gaps with a single, end-to-end partner model that stays engaged through the full lifecycle.
As the only authorized U.S. reseller of iCetana AI — a world-leading video security AI deployed worldwide — ZTH Wave delivers the most advanced self-learning surveillance technology available, paired with the operational discipline and veteran-owned accountability that government and enterprise clients require.
ZTH Wave LLC holds dual SDVOSB certification: verified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Center for Veterans Enterprise (VA CVE) and certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Both certifications are actively maintained through ongoing verification and compliance.
One accountable partner from installation through service.
Designed for organizations where security cannot fail.
A disciplined SDVOSB partner focused on accountability and mission success.
Turn existing cameras into a proactive monitoring and detection tool.
