Monitored alarms for Vancouver storefronts, offices, Lower Mainland warehouses and strata common areas, with video verification so real break-ins get the response.

Alarm systems for Vancouver buildings
We install and monitor intrusion alarms across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, from street-level shops and restaurants to offices, clinics and warehouses in Richmond, Burnaby, Delta and Surrey.
Storefronts with big glass fronts, back lanes and shared loading areas are common here, and many strata buildings want alarms on parkades, storage rooms and amenity spaces. We zone each area separately and pair alarms with cameras where it helps our monitoring partner tell a real break-in from a false alarm.
Serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland as part of our Alberta and BC service area.

Monitored fences for Lower Mainland yards
Industrial yards in Delta, Richmond and Surrey keep trucks, containers and materials behind a fence. Fence sensors report the exact zone someone is climbing or cutting, and electric deterrent fences turn them away before they reach the yard. How monitored fences work.
- Fence zones reported by location
- Electric deterrent fences with warning signs
- Cameras turn to the zone that tripped
- Linked to your alarm panel and monitoring
Video-verified alarms in Vancouver
When an alarm trips at a Vancouver storefront or warehouse overnight, our monitoring partner views the camera for that zone first, so police get called for a real break-in and not for a delivery left at the door. How remote video monitoring works.
- Zones matched to cameras
- Live video checked before dispatch
- Talk-down speakers on lanes and docks
- Fewer wasted callouts
