Security camera systems for Vancouver buildings
From downtown and Yaletown towers to warehouses and yards in Richmond, Burnaby and Delta, we design and install security camera systems across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Coastal rain, salt air and long, dark winter evenings are hard on outdoor cameras, so we choose weatherproof housings, corrosion-resistant mounts and cameras that see well in low light. Business and strata cameras in BC have to follow the province’s privacy law, so we plan signs and camera views with you.
Serving Vancouver and the Lower Mainland as part of our Alberta and BC service area.

What affects the cost of a security camera system in Vancouver
What drives the cost of a camera system in a Lower Mainland building. A site walk turns it into a written quote.
Camera count and types
Parkades and towers often need many fixed cameras, plus a few PTZ or multi-sensor cameras for large areas.
Cable routes
Concrete towers and older buildings need cable routes planned carefully, which affects labour.
Storage
Video retention and camera count set the size of the recorder or cloud plan.
Plate recognition and analytics
Plate cameras at parkade gates and smart detection add hardware and setup.
Optional monitoring
Live monitoring through our monitoring partner is a monthly service, priced by what’s watched.
Planning a camera system for a Vancouver building
The questions we ask on Lower Mainland site walks, so you can have answers ready.
- What each camera must seeDecide where you need faces and plates, and where an overview is enough.
- Privacy and signsPlan signs where cameras record, and keep views away from suite windows, balconies and neighbouring property.
- Strata approvalCouncils often need a written camera plan before they decide. Our BC strata camera guide explains the basics.
- Weather exposureNote cameras that face rain, spray or salt air, so we choose the right housings.
- Building networkLarge buildings need PoE switches and cable runs between floors. We check what you have or design a separate camera network.
- After-hours alertsChoose who gets alerts, or have our monitoring partner watch parkades and docks live.

Remote video monitoring for Vancouver camera systems
Parkades, loading docks and warehouse yards across the Lower Mainland sit quiet overnight. 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.
- Parkades, docks and yards reviewed live
- Speakers at parkade gates and dock doors
- Police or your contact called, with the clip
- Works with new cameras or existing ones we’ve checked
Security camera questions in Vancouver
Do you install cameras in Vancouver strata buildings?
Yes. We cover parkades, entrances, mailrooms, bike rooms and garbage rooms, and give strata councils a written camera plan to approve.
Do you cover Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey?
Yes. We install cameras across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, North Vancouver, Coquitlam and New Westminster.
Why do camera quotes vary between Vancouver buildings?
Mostly because of cable routes in concrete or older buildings, the number of cameras, plate recognition and how long you keep video.
Can you take over a camera system from another company?
Yes. Where the building owns it, we recover recorder access, fix what’s failing and tune detection.
Can someone watch our parkade overnight?
Yes. Our monitoring partner can watch parkades, docks and yards live after hours, 24/7.
Can we keep our existing cameras?
Often. We check each camera, and working ones can usually stay on a new recorder while you upgrade in stages.
Do strata buildings need signs for cameras?
Yes. Under BC’s Personal Information Protection Act, people should be told they’re being recorded. Post signs at entrances and camera areas, and keep views away from suites. This is general information, not legal advice.
