Lextech Labs takes video surveillance mobile
Alex Bratton and Lextech Labs are featured in the Medill Reports Chicago. Lextech Labs founder and CEO Alex Bratton discovered his love of computers early in life, after his parents bought one of the first Apple computers.
“When Alex was probably 10 or so, we bought an Apple II computer..and he was writing little games on it,” said Ray Bratton, Alex’s father. “[He] made these little stick men that would fall off a cliff” with his little brother
That was just the beginning. By age 14, Alex had formed his first software development company to write programs for his high school. Eight more companies and a computer engineering degree later, Bratton’s passion is his Lisle, Ill.-based Lextech Labs, which makes the iRa C3 mobile video surveillance app.

We are pleased to announce that ProTech Security in Ohio is the Partner of the Month for October 2010. ProTech Security has established itself as a full-service security solutions provider.
