A lot of businesses across Greater Vancouver are running camera systems that only show you what happened after the fact. That might help you file a report, but it won’t stop someone from breaking in, stealing inventory, or damaging property.
At Standard Security Systems, we help our commercial clients move beyond passive surveillance. Live video monitoring gives you trained eyes on your site in real time. That means action, not just footage.
Whether you’re overseeing a warehouse in Richmond, a dispensary in Chilliwack, or a multi-unit plaza in Burnaby, the goal is the same: respond before there’s a problem, not after.
Passive Recording Doesn’t Cut It Anymore
Traditional systems have their limits. Motion alerts? Half the time, they’re triggered by wind, pets, or headlights. And the other half? They’re dismissed as false alarms.
That’s where monitored video systems take over. Smart analytics spot suspicious behavior. Human operators step in when something doesn’t look right. The result is fewer incidents and faster response when it matters most.
What Real-Time Video Monitoring Looks Like
When we design a live monitoring solution, we don’t just hang up cameras and hope for the best. We build each setup to match your workflow, your hours, and your risk profile.
Here’s how it works:
- Strategic Coverage: We assess your property and install cameras where they actually matter. That includes entries, exits, and any blind spots.
- Smart Detection: Our analytics don’t just flag movement, they look for patterns that indicate real threats.
- Live Intervention: Our remote operators can issue loud audio warnings and contact law enforcement on your behalf.
- Fewer False Alerts: You don’t get pinged for every squirrel or shadow. You get notified when something actually needs your attention.
With this kind of layered approach, your system becomes a tool for prevention, and not just evidence collection.
Sites We’re Protecting Right Now
Every week, we’re helping more businesses across Greater Vancouver upgrade to smarter, proactive monitoring. That includes:
- Commercial warehouses and distribution centers
- Cannabis grow ops and dispensaries
- Construction trailers and material yards
- Auto lots and service centers
- Retail strip malls and lobbies
If your site is sitting empty overnight, it’s already a target. We help you stay ahead of it without the overhead of on-site guards.
