# Protect & Automate

See, control and secure your property from anywhere, on systems you own.

Security and automation are the same project: the camera that sees the door, the reader that unlocks it, the sensor that notices it was left open, and the rule that turns the lights on. We install all of it, on hardware you own, with no monthly contract unless you want monitoring.

- **IP camera systems**High-resolution PoE cameras with local recording (NVR), remote viewing from your phone, and sensible retention. No cloud subscription required.

- **Access control**Keypads, fobs and mobile credentials for doors and gates, with audit logs and schedules, for offices, shops, multi-unit buildings and gated homes.

- **Alarm & sensors**Intrusion, door/window, glass-break, water, temperature and smoke sensors, self-monitored or connected to a ULC-listed monitoring station.

- **Smart building & home automation**Lighting, climate, shades, audio and scenes that respond to presence, time and events. Integrated with the security system, not bolted beside it.

- **Intercom & doorbell**Video intercoms and doorbells that integrate with access control and your cameras.
