Fire alarm, access, building controls, video, intrusion, commercial audio. It's all custom work, not cookie-cutter. Network is a little different. It's more cookie-cutter and you'll see a few women.
That makes a lot of sense. Us tech nerds handle a lot of things in-house where I work, but AV and access control is one of the things we don't touch. Too difficult and specialized for us.
I don't consider it difficult, but it's really an untaught specialty. Becomes more of a network and firewall job every day. Keeping your stuff on a security subnet while setting up access from the outside world or a general subnet is seriously tedious. You have to play nice and be firm with IT entities which would prefer your kinds of issues didn't exist.

It's a near zero for women in the field for AV and security.
I agree, I've never seen one with the company we contract with.
