A1 Security Home Security Systems

Home Alarm System

A home alarm system not only protects your home but, more importantly, also protects your family. A1 Security System, servicing the Burlington area, installs, maintains, and monitors home alarm systems, including adding a doorbell camera to help you and your family sleep better at night.

Our professional monitoring system will alert you immediately upon detecting an incident. Unlike other security systems out there, incidents are not limited to intruders but can also include a water leak sensor, smoke detector alerts, or carbon monoxide detectors.

Home Security Camera Systems

In addition to our home security alarm systems, we also offer video surveillance protection to help keep you and your family safe at all times. You can opt for home automation by integrating your system with smart home capabilities to access your security system remotely via a mobile phone or tablet.

Residential Data Cabling

We also provide a residential data cabling service for custom built homes, which provides your home with a structured cabling system and a central access point for connectivity. When you start adding up all of your family’s devices on connectivity, including telephone, internet, and television, you’re likely to begin experiencing glitches in your service. With residential data cabling, you can enjoy the convenience of accessing any device without any disruptions.

Burlington Business Security Systems

Protecting your property from being stolen and your people from getting hurt is a top priority as a business owner. Most commercial losses come down to gaps in coverage rather than sophisticated attacks, think an unmonitored side entrance, a blind spot in the parking area, a key that was copied years ago.

Thankfully, with an effective Business Security System, you can minimize these threats to your business as much as possible. A1 Security Systems installs, monitors, and controls access to your commercial security system.

Business Alarm Systems

Alarm monitoring and intrusion detection help to keep your company protected 24/7. The advanced design of our intrusion alarm not only detects the crime but also immediately notifies you while simultaneously initiating an appropriate response.

Business Security Cameras

How much down time does it cost your company when your vehicles are damaged or stolen?  Proactive business security cameras and solutions can reduce the disruptions to your business. Smash-and-grabs and theft throughout Canada account for millions of dollars of loss each year. With the help of a video surveillance camera and other security cameras, you can help to minimize this threat to your business. Business security camera installation is recommended for both indoor and outdoor areas for optimal safety and security. 

Card Access Systems

Card Access Control Systems help to keep your people, company, and data safe by providing you with better control of who can access your facilities at what time. These access systems can also be beneficial in providing a better monitoring system, boosting safety for everyone in your building.

ULC Fire Alarm Panel Monitoring

Your building may require a ULC Fire Alarm Panel Monitoring system and a sprinkler system to comply with the Ontario Building and Fire Codes. You’re in luck because we are listed as a ULC-listed Fire Alarm Panel Monitoring service company and can ensure that you receive your proper ULC-S561 Certificate following installation.

Office Data Cabling

Office data cabling helps you avoid any frustratingly slow connectivity amongst your equipment, including phone, security, and data traffic. Keep in mind that not only is slow connectivity frustrating for your team, but it can also poorly reflect on your customer service as a company.

Professional Monitoring by Our Burlington Team

While adding a security system to your home or business is a step in the right direction, it is not enough to ensure the safety of your property and people. With A1 Security Systems Burlington, you can rest assured that our ULC Monitoring Station is monitoring your home and business 24/7, ready to contact local emergency services if ever needed.

What Happens When Your Alarm Goes Off in Burlington

Halton Regional Police respond to activated alarms, including false ones. Under the HRPS Alarm Program revised in June 2023, premises can no longer be registered for discounted alarm response, and when police attend an alarm and determine it wasn't caused by a criminal offence, medical emergency, or fire, they invoice the alarm monitoring company — $197.75 per false dispatch.

That structure keeps our interests aligned with yours. We design systems to avoid false alarms with sensors positioned for how your property is actually used, verification before dispatch, and a response plan we set up with you rather than for you.

Burlington Security Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much does a home security system cost in Burlington?

    Equipment for a typical Burlington home may vary, with alarm monitoring starting from $39.95 per month. Business systems are quoted after a site walkthrough.

  • How do I choose between Burlington security companies?

    Ask three questions. Is the monitoring station ULC-listed? Are the company’s technicians employees or subcontractors?  And what is the length of the alarm monitoring contract term? A1 Security does not try to lock you into long-term monitoring agreements.  Those three answers separate most providers faster than a feature comparison.

  • Do I need to register my alarm system with Halton Regional Police?

    As of June 15, 2023, the HRPS Alarm Program no longer registers premises for discounted alarm response. Police respond to all activated alarms and false dispatch fees of $197.75. 

  • What counts as a false alarm?

    Halton Regional Police define it as any alarm call determined to have been caused by something other than a criminal offence, medical emergency, or fire. Appeals go through the False Alarm Coordinator and your alarm service and monitoring company.

  • What does ULC-listed monitoring mean?

    ULC is the Canadian certification standard for alarm monitoring stations, covering redundancy, staffing levels, and response procedures. Insurers and the Ontario Building and Fire Codes often require it for commercial properties.
