MARTENSVILLE CANADIAN TIRE GETS PROTECTED BY REED SECURITY


Congratulations!

Congratulations to Lindsay Ullathorne and team on the grand re-opening of Canadian Tire 912 in Martensville, SK! 

With 50,000 square feet of retail space and over 50,000 products, Canadian Tire is your home for all the everyday things that help you work, play and live better.  


Project goals and requirements

For a retail location like Canadian Tire, security isn’t just about protecting assets; it’s about peace of mind and maintaining a safe, welcoming environment. Lindsay Ullathorne, the owner, had two primary objectives in mind:


1. Increase Deterrence: Visible security measures act as a powerful deterrent, discouraging potential thieves from attempting any unauthorized activity.

2. Reduce Losses Due to Theft: Effective video surveillance allows for immediate investigation and response to any suspicious activities, ultimately reducing the financial impact of losses.





ReedHD
™ video surveillance

To meet Canadian Tire's needs, we installed a comprehensive video surveillance system designed for both wide coverage and detailed monitoring. Here’s an overview of the equipment and technology we implemented:


90+ High-Definition Security Cameras: Strategically positioned both indoors and outdoors, these high-definition cameras provide crystal-clear imaging day and night. Whether monitoring the aisles, entrances, or parking lot, these cameras offer complete visibility, leaving no blind spots.

Network Video Recorder (NVR) with 30-60 Days of Storage: This powerful NVR offers extended video retention, ensuring footage is available for review weeks after an incident. From theft prevention to employee safety, this extended storage feature is invaluable for ongoing security.

Desktop and Smartphone Apps: Both desktop and smartphone apps allow Lindsay and her team to monitor live feeds and playback past footage. This mobile functionality ensures they can keep an eye on the store anytime, anywhere, reinforcing security even when they’re off-site.

HONORING SIX YEARS OF EXCELLENCE: CONGRATULATIONS LESLI BRAYSHAW!


We are thrilled to celebrate Lesli Brayshaw, our incredible Client Care Specialist, on completing six years with Reed Security! Lesli's journey with us has been remarkable, and we couldn't be more proud of her achievements.


When Lesli joined Reed Security, she was uncertain about adapting her support skills to the security industry. Today, she stands as a confident and indispensable part of our team, expertly assisting both home and business security clients.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Lesli's job is the joy she feels when helping people and receiving heartfelt notes of appreciation. Her dedication and compassion are truly inspiring.

WILL YOU BE TRAVELLING? MAKE SURE YOU ADD THIS PROTECTION



Most insurance companies require your home to be 
checked every 24 hours when you are travelling - due to the high risk of damage and paying out claims.

Many insurance companies will accept monitored environmental devices connected to a home security system as an alternative. You may also qualify for an insurance premium discount.    

Before leaving for an extended trip, contact your insurance agent or company to understand their specific requirements and recommendations.

Reed Security's most popular, insurance approved added protection are:




Low temperature protection...$3/month per sensor

Drops in temperature can occur when your furnace or boiler breaks down in our cold winters. 

Installing a low temperature sensor can prevent frozen pipes. If the temperature in your home drops significantly, there's a risk water pipes can freeze. Frozen pipes can burst, leading to expensive water damage.

When the temperature drops to 7 degrees Celsius you receive instant alerts to your smartphone and Reed Security's monitoring team will notify your call list. Take action before there is greater damage and costs.

Reed Recommends: install monitored low temperature sensors near the furnace or boiler as well as on each floor



Flood protection
...$4/month per sensor

Flooding can occur after heavy rains, spring melting, sump pump failure, sewer backup, water pipes bursting, broken appliances, bathtubs overflowing and more. 

Installing a monitored flood sensor provides early detection in areas with pooled water. Y
ou receive instant alerts to your smartphone and Reed Security's monitoring team will notify your call list. Take action before there is greater damage and costs.
   
Reed Recommends: install monitored flood sensors at low points where water is likely to pool - basement storage rooms, sump pit, and laundry area. Consider installing a smart water shutoff to turn the water off when a leak is detected.




Fire protection
...$4/month per sensor

The top 5 causes of house fires are: 1) cooking; 2) heating; 3) electrical; 4) smoking; 5) candles 

Installing monitored smoke sensors can save lives. Unlike traditional smoke alarms that only sound within a home, monitored smoke sensors are connected to Reed Security's 24/7 Monitoring Stations - operators will immediately dispatch the Fire Department.  

Reed Recommends: install monitored smoke sensors in bedrooms, hallways and common areas on each level of your home; do not install in kitchens or garages due to the potential of false alarms

BACK TO SCHOOL SECURITY AND SAFETY TIPS

The back-to-school season is in full swing! As your little scholars return to the classroom, it’s essential to ensure the nest they come back to is safe and secure.


Reed Security takes the responsibility of protecting your home seriously. Use these 7 pro tips to increase your home security and safety as the school year kicks off.




1. Test your alarm system


Did you recently cancel your home phone line? If so, you may no longer be connected to Reed Security's 24/7 Monitoring Stations (and no longer have Guard, Police, and Fire dispatch).


Visit our 
Self Care site and type in "test" into the search bar for instructions. 




2.  Upgrade to a smart security system


As your kids return to school, there's no better time to review your home security measures. A smart security system not only protects against intruders, but can also notify you of hazards like fires or floods.

Consider installing:


Smart Door Lock: Never worry about losing keys. Our door locks have built-in keypads and can alert you when your child arrives home. Lock/unlock doors with our mobile app. 

Smart Doorbell Camera: Get an alert when a visitor approaches or rings your video doorbell. See and speak to visitors, from anywhere.

Smart Home Hub: The IQ Panel 4 replaces your existing alarm system. Comes with an elegant HD touchscreen, hacker protection and ultra fast LTE signaling to our monitoring stations.




3. Setup schedules


With the hustle and bustle of school routines, it's easy to forget to lock doors or arm the security system. By setting up schedules through the Reed Security mobile app, you can automate these tasks to ensure your home remains secure even in the midst of morning chaos.

For example, you can setup your alarm to auto-arm at 11pm (if it hasn't already been armed) or 9am after the kids have gone to school.


4. Establish a safe room


Designate a "safe room" aka a panic room in your home where your children can go in case of emergencies.

A safe room should have a solid core metal or wood door, a deadbolt lock and no windows. You can modify a closet or an are within your basement.   

Equip this area with essential supplies, including a first-aid kit, a list of emergency contacts, and a device to call 9-1-1.

Consider installing a keypad or panic button in your safe zone to notify the Police that you need help. 

5. Teach safety principals


Educate your children about the basics of home safety:

Stranger Awareness: Teach them not to open doors to strangers, no matter how friendly they seem.

Emergency Numbers: Ensure your children know how to dial emergency numbers and what information to provide.

Safe Routes: Discuss the safest routes to and from school and the importance of staying on the designated paths.




6. Share with neighbours


Encourage a neighborhood watch program where you and your neighbors look out for each other’s properties. Creating a community of vigilance can significantly enhance security.

Share info. via text messaging or WhatsApp and post videos on Facebook.


7. Light up the perimeter


Ensure the external areas of your home are well-illuminated to deter potential intruders. Install motion-sensor lights and trim shrubs to remove potential hiding spots.


Back-to-school time is a season of transition. As you navigate the new schedules and routines, let Reed Security provide peace of mind by safeguarding your home. With cutting-edge technology and unparalleled service, we are committed to keeping your nest secure as your young ones head back to school.
