Warehouse Security Systems across Canada
Cargo theft is rising across Canada and North America. Alarm Guard Security protects warehouses and distribution centres with commercial surveillance cameras, access control, intrusion alarms, and 24/7 professional monitoring to safeguard inventory, loading docks, employees, and daily operations.
Organized Cargo Theft
Criminal groups target high-value loads including food, beverage, electronics, metals, and pharmaceuticals, with theft incidents averaging $273,990 in 2025 as criminals became increasingly selective and sophisticated.
After-Hours Break-Ins
Warehouses are prime overnight target large footprints, limited staff, and high-value inventory accessible through loading bays and side doors that standard alarm systems often leave unmonitored.
Insider Theft & Inventory Shrink
Internal theft is the most underreported loss category in warehousing. Access control with entry logs creates accountability at every access point, deterring losses that cameras alone don't catch.
Copper & Metals Stripping
Metal theft rose 77% in 2025, driven by record copper prices. HVAC systems, electrical panels, and wiring inside warehouse facilities are now high-value targets for organized theft crews.

Business Alarm System
Motion sensors, door contacts, and glass break detectors across your facility. Cellular-connected monitoring that transmits over cellular networks, not your facility's internet, so cutting power or network access doesn't disable your protection.
Window Film Protection

Access Control
