Security camera systems for Nanaimo buildings
From storefronts and offices downtown and along the Island Highway to industrial and port-area sites around Duke Point, we design and install camera systems across Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island.
Rain, wind and salt air are hard on outdoor cameras, so we choose sealed, corrosion-resistant cameras and seal every cable entry. Business and strata cameras in BC have to follow the province’s privacy law, so we plan views and signs with you.
Serving Nanaimo and central Vancouver Island as part of our Alberta and BC service area.

Remote video monitoring for Nanaimo camera systems
Sites near the harbour and Duke Point, and storefronts across the city, need eyes on them at night. When a camera detects someone after hours, our monitoring partner checks the video live, warns them through a speaker and calls police or your contact if it’s real. How remote video monitoring works.

- Weather-rated speakers for the coast
- Police or your contact called, with the video
