Retail Security Systems for Canadian Stores
Retail crime in Canada hit $9.1 billion in 2024 and it's getting more organized and more violent. Alarm Guard Security helps retailers deter theft before it happens, protect staff when it escalates, and capture the evidence needed when it does.
Organized Retail Crime
Coordinated groups conducting shelf sweeps and smash-and-grabs, not lone shoplifters. Losses per ORC incident average $500+.
Staff Safety
76% of Canadian retailers reported increased violence during theft incidents in 2024. Your staff need a fast, discreet way to call for help.
After-Hours Break-Ins
Storefronts are the most targeted property type for overnight break-ins and smash-and-grabs, especially in high-traffic urban areas.
Shrink From Multiple Sources
An estimated 70-80% of retail losses stem from internal cash and inventory shortages, not just customer theft. Internal and external threats require different tools.

Retail Security Solutions
Commercial CCTV
HD cameras covering sales floor, entrances, stockroom, and point-of-sale areas. Visible cameras deter casual theft. Strategic placement captures clear footage for evidence and staff accountability.
Professional Video Monitoring
Trained monitoring professionals watch your camera feeds in real time. Suspicious behaviour is flagged and acted on, not reviewed the morning after.
Business Alarm System
Motion sensors, door and window contacts, and glass break detection trigger instant alerts to our 24/7 monitoring centre and to you on your phone. After-hours protection that never clocks off.
Window Film Protection
Reinforces storefront glass to resist shattering during a smash-and-grab. Slows entry, reduces injury risk, and limits damage. An always-on passive layer of protection for street-facing retailers.
Access Control
Restrict stockroom, cash office, and back-of-house access to authorized staff. Logs every entry, a critical tool for investigating internal shrink without confrontation.
Intercom Systems
Screen deliveries and visitors at back or service entrances without opening the door blind, useful for stores that take regular after-hours deliveries or restocks.
Panic buttons are available as part of the alarm system package or as a standalone add-on
