Security System Design & Installation

Our security system design methodology begins with understanding our client’s security objectives and a needs assessment to evaluate the complete physical environment where the security technology will be deployed.

We also evaluate your existing IT infrastructure to make sure the system we design and recommend can operate within your company’s available network capabilities. We look at network bandwidth, server configurations and storage capacity. When necessary, we can work with your internal or external IT staff for system upgrades to support the deployment of the right type of IP video security cameras to meet your needs.

Our recommendations are custom-designed to fit the needs of each individual client, with an emphasis on reliability and proactive service. The security cameras must be suitable for the physical environment where they will be deployed and the system functionality must serve your business operations. Our goal is to simplify and streamline the day-to-day security aspects of your business through the right mix of technology and user-interface.

Here’s our guide to defining the scope of a video security system for commercial operations .

We encourage (but don’t require) our clients to use open platform technologies when installing a new video security system or upgrading an old one. We discourage the use of proprietary security technology to avoid getting trapped in an outdated platform.

Remote Monitoring Services

We offer security camera monitoring services using UL approved monitoring stations, which are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Monitoring can be performed remotely live, in real-time, or using advanced video analytics software for event-based monitoring. On this page, we provide an overview of our video monitoring service packages.

Clients can also access and monitor their security system remotely via smart phones, tablets or computers via an Internet connection.

Systems Servicing & Proactive Maintenance

We offer service agreement packages for proactively maintaining your system, to make sure the cameras and security technology you deploy are working as designed. Reliability is one of our core values, but sometimes technology fails.

Our proactive service options can reduce the possibility of a camera being offline at the moment an incident occurs and proactive service packages can save you money in the long run because many times problems can be addressed remotely, without the need for a service van roll.
