Security built for BC ski country
BC’s ski towns run on visitors. Hotels and lodges, strata buildings with rental pools, staff housing, rental shops, restaurants and the businesses at the base of each hill have people coming and going every day of the season, and some sit nearly empty between seasons.
Snow, cold, wildlife and seasonal staff all shape how a mountain system is planned. Most day-to-day changes, like adding staff or checking video, are made remotely, with on-site visits from the office nearest each town.
Golden, Invermere, Fernie and Kimberley are supported from our Calgary office; Revelstoke, Sun Peaks, Big White and Silver Star from our Kelowna office; and Whistler as part of our Vancouver service area.

Planning a system in a BC ski town
What we look at on resort sites.
Strata rules and BC privacy law
Some changes in a strata building need owner approval, and cameras fall under BC’s privacy law. We help you plan cameras and signs that fit both. See BC strata security cameras. This is general information, not legal advice.
Snow, cold and ski boots
Readers, intercoms and cameras are chosen for deep snow and cold, and placed where snow sliding off roofs won’t hit them.
Busy seasons, quiet seasons
Access schedules and alerts can change with the season, so buildings that sit quiet between seasons are still watched.
Stuck with a system nobody will fix?
We take over, repair and fully support systems installed by other companies, with new passwords and full documentation.
Brands we install in BC ski country
Brands we install for BC resort hotels, strata buildings and businesses, fully supported end to end.

Rental shops, storage and strata buildings can sit quiet between seasons. Our monitoring partner can watch your cameras 24/7, warn people off through speakers and call for help when it’s real. How remote video monitoring works.
- Ski storage, parkades and shops checked live
- Detection tuned for people and vehicles, not snow or wildlife
- Police or your contact called when it’s real, with the video
- Added to new cameras, or to existing cameras we’ve checked
