Professional Video Monitoring for Canadian Businesses
A camera that records is evidence. A camera that's monitored is prevention. Alarm Guard's professional video monitoring puts trained security professionals behind your cameras watching in real time, responding immediately, and stopping threats before they become losses.
How a Professionally Monitored Business Alarm System Works
1. Detection
Motion sensors, door/window contacts, and glass break detectors trigger the moment an intruder attempts entry anywhere on your property.
2. Signal
An instant signal is sent over a cellular network to our 24/7 ULC-certified monitoring centre. No Wi-Fi or landline required cutting them doesn't disable your system.
3. Verification
Our monitoring agents verify the alert calling your designated contacts and reviewing available footage to confirm a real threat before dispatching.
4. Dispatch
Police, fire, or EMS are dispatched immediately. You receive a mobile notification at every step in real time, from wherever you are.
The Difference Between Recording and Monitoring
Standard CCTV
Captures footage 24/7. When something goes wrong, you review it the next morning. The theft is done, the perpetrators are gone, and the average recovery rate is under 10%.
Professional Video Monitoring
Trained security professionals actively watch your feeds. Suspicious activity is spotted in real time a vehicle circling your lot at 3am, someone testing a loading bay door and acted on before the threat escalates.

Who Benefits Most from Professional Video Monitoring
Construction & Remote Sites
No on-site staff overnight. Hours from emergency services. Live monitoring is the only realistic deterrent for sites where police response takes 30+ minutes.
Warehouses & Distribution Centres
Large, partially-monitored spaces with high-value inventory. After-hours cargo theft happens fast live monitoring catches it mid-event, not morning after.
Retail Storefronts
After-hours break-ins and smash-and-grabs happen in under 3 minutes. Recorded footage doesn't stop the clock. Live monitoring can dispatch police while the attempt is still in progress.
Multi-Site Operations
Too many locations to monitor manually. One monitoring team covers every site simultaneously consistent coverage across your entire footprint.
