Business Security System Installation Across Alberta
A business security system is not a bigger version of a home camera setup. The questions a business actually needs answered are different — not just what happened, but who was in the building when it happened, whether a specific door was used outside business hours, and whether footage from three months ago still exists when an insurance claim or a legal matter surfaces. Cameras alone answer none of those.
Access control is what turns a camera system into an actual security system for a business. Card or fob readers on exterior and sensitive interior doors log who entered and when, and correlated against camera footage, an alert becomes an answer rather than a mystery clip of someone's back. For a retail business, tying till activity to the camera timeline turns a stocktake discrepancy from a shrug into a specific five-second clip.
Because we are a network company first, this gets built the way it should be — on its own segmented network, integrated behind the firewall we may have already installed for you rather than sitting as an unrelated add-on, with retention set to what your insurance or lease actually requires rather than whatever the recorder's default happens to be. Multi-location businesses get one login across every site instead of switching between separate systems.
Who This Service Is For
The situations where this work is usually the right answer.
Multi-location retail and franchise businesses
Needing consistent coverage and a single management view across several sites, rather than independent systems that do not talk to each other.
Warehouses and logistics yards
Where equipment, inventory and vehicle movement all need coverage, and access control on loading and yard doors matters as much as the cameras do.
Offices needing access logging
Businesses that need to know who entered a building or a restricted area and when, not only whether the door was used.
Businesses with compliance or insurance requirements
Where a lease, an insurer or an industry standard specifies a minimum retention period or a documented access control policy.
What the Installation Includes
Everything below is part of a standard engagement, not a list of chargeable extras.
- Access control integrated with the camera timeline, so an alert and a badge event can be reviewed together
- Card, fob or mobile credential readers on exterior and sensitive interior doors
- Centralised multi-site dashboard for businesses with more than one location
- Retention policy set to your insurance, lease or compliance requirement rather than a default
- Till and point-of-sale correlation, linking a transaction to the matching camera clip
- Incident export packaged for police or insurance use, without needing us on site to retrieve it
- Integration behind your existing firewall and network segmentation, including any network we have already installed
- Credential issuance and revocation process, so a departing employee's access is removed the same day
Our Process
How a project runs from first contact to handover.
Requirements and site or multi-site survey
What you need the system to answer — access logging, camera coverage, retention period — and a walk of every location involved, not just the primary site.
Design and written quote
Camera and reader positions, network integration approach, retention sizing and a fixed quote, agreed before any hardware is ordered.
Installation and network integration
Cameras and access control installed and cabled, then integrated behind your existing firewall with the same segmentation discipline as any other commercial network build.
Staff training and credential setup
Whoever manages access day to day is trained on issuing and revoking credentials, and on retrieving footage without needing to call us for routine requests.
Documentation and ongoing support
As-built documentation, credentials and a written retention policy handed over, with optional ongoing monitoring if you want us managing it rather than your own staff.
Equipment We Support
- Access control readers and credentials
- Card, fob or mobile-credential readers on the doors that matter, logged centrally rather than left as a standalone lock-and-key system with no record of use.
- PoE switching sized for the load
- Cameras and door readers both draw power over the same cabling, so switch capacity is sized for the combined load rather than assuming spare ports are spare power too.
- Compliance-grade recording and retention
- Storage sized to the retention period your insurance, lease or industry actually requires, not the recorder's out-of-box default which is frequently far shorter.
- Multi-site video management
- A single platform and login across locations, so a manager reviewing an incident does not need separate credentials and separate software per site.
