Alarm systems for Fort McMurray buildings
Shops and offices in Fort McMurray often sit empty between shifts, over long weekends or during shutdowns, and yards keep trucks, tools and materials outside. We install monitored alarms for buildings and yards across Wood Buffalo.
Many sites are far from town or have unreliable internet, so we use cellular communicators and backup batteries that keep the alarm reporting through winter outages. Pairing zones with cameras lets our monitoring partner check before anyone drives out.
Serving Fort McMurray and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo as part of our Alberta and BC service area, supported from our Edmonton head office.

Monitored and electric fences in Fort McMurray
Laydown yards and contractor lots in MacKenzie Industrial Park, TaigaNova and along Highway 63 keep equipment and materials outside. Fence sensors report the exact zone someone is climbing or cutting, and electric deterrent fences turn them away, running off-grid on solar where there’s no power. How monitored fences work.
- Fence zones reported by location
- Electric deterrent fences with warning signs
- Cameras turn to the zone that tripped
- Solar options for yards without power
Video-verified alarms in Fort McMurray
When an alarm trips at a Fort McMurray yard at night, our monitoring partner views the camera for that zone before dispatch, so nobody drives out in the cold for blowing snow. How remote video monitoring works.
- Zones matched to yard and shop cameras
- Live video checked before dispatch
- Talk-down speakers on gates and bays
- Fewer wasted callouts
