Monitoring of your intrusion detection system
How we design for each rule
Perimeter cameras
Cameras along the fence line and gates, with night vision. We plan the views to cover the whole perimeter.
Intrusion detection
Alarms on every door into storage and operations areas, and motion sensors inside.
24/7 monitoring
Every alarm goes to a live operator at our ULC listed partner station.
Access control
Fobs for the doors into storage and operations areas, with a log of every entry.
Video and records
We plan the video storage around the retention period for your licence. The alarm and access logs give you a record of each incident.
Retail cannabis stores
Retail stores in BC must meet the security conditions in their provincial licence. We design alarms and cameras for the sales floor, the product room and the doors, and connect them to 24/7 monitoring.

Questions from licence holders
Do micro licences have the same rules?
No. The rules differ by licence class. Read the Health Canada guide for your class, and we design the system to it.
How long must we keep video?
For standard cultivation, standard processing and medical sale licences, at least 1 year. For cameras that record on motion, you keep the recordings that show movement.
Can you monitor our intrusion detection system 24/7?
Yes. Every alarm goes to a live operator at our ULC listed partner station.
Do you install in retail stores?
Yes. We design to the security conditions in your store licence.
