Residential Video Surveillance

Residential Video Surveillance

Cameras are about feeling safe and allow you to view your home from wherever you are, monitor children and pets when you can’t be there, and deter criminal activity. Whether you’re looking to catch an intruder in your yard or communicate with someone at your door in real time, cameras add an added level of protection to your home. If you have cameras and your neighbour doesn’t, you can probably guess where the intruder is most likely to go.

Reed Security supplies high quality equipment with clean, professional installations (no draping cords anywhere!) and all the ongoing support you need. We help you see what you need to see from wherever you happen to be!


Keeping an Eye on Your Home - From Wherever

Cameras are about feeling safe. They allow you to view your home from wherever you are, monitor children and pets when you can’t be there, and provide evidence to identify criminals. Video cameras also deter criminal activity. 

Whether you’re looking to catch an intruder in your yard or communicate with someone at your door in real time, cameras add an added level of protection to your home. If you have cameras and your neighbour doesn’t, you can probably guess where the intruder is most likely to go.

Video surveillance is a massive industry with a wide variety of camera styles, storage options and pricing available. Whether you're looking for a doorbell camera, a camera to watch your driveway, or something to capture the licence plate of a vehicle 100 feet away, Reed Security will work with you to find the right solution. 

Our residential video surveillance cameras range from basic 1080p to 4K and beyond. We offer both cloud-based solutions and traditional hard drive-based storage options, and can work with almost any budget.

Small Town Service for Your Big City Needs

What sets Reed Security apart is its people. Unfortunately, the security industry currently doesn’t have minimal educational or certification requirements so you could be dealing with an unqualified salesperson.

Dave prides himself on providing small town service for your big city needs. He is inspired by other small businesses who use Canadian suppliers and do great work taking care of their customers.

Custom Solutions, Full Service

Like everything else we do, it all starts with a face-to-face consultation to determine your needs and work out the best possible camera angles. Next, we put together a proposal, typically with good/better/best options for you to consider. When a decision is made, we order the equipment and get an installation date booked, usually within 1-2 weeks.

Once on site, we run the cables, mount the cameras, and get you set up for viewing remotely from your computer, tablet or smartphone. Tweaking is sometimes necessary to make sure you're seeing exactly what you want to see, so a return trip or two may be necessary to make sure you're completely happy. That's all part of the service!


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much recording time will I get?

A: All of our systems have different storage options. You tell us what you want to see and for how long, and we'll make sure you have the right-sized hard drive or cloud storage package. 


Q:Why do you need to run wires? Can't we just use Wi-Fi? 

A: Yes and no. Even a Wi-Fi camera needs power, so a wire is still required. While we do use Wi-Fi cameras when absolutely necessary, they are usually not the best option; exterior walls (particularly brick or stucco) can make Wi-Fi cameras very slow or unresponsive, and they rely entirely on your internet to work. Usually we find a wired system end-to-end to be much more reliable. 


Q: Will I be able to read licence plates on the street with the right camera and under the right conditions? 

A: Absolutely! But be warned: while modern video surveillance is incredible, it is not like the TV shows where you can just "enhance" any image to get the information you're looking for. If one of your requirements is capturing licence plates, please let us know at your consultation, and we will work with you to find the right camera.
