MEET SARAH HARDY: THE QUEEN OF GETTING STUFF DONE


Every great team has that one person who just makes everything smoother, happier, and a little more fun. At Reed Security, that person is Sarah Hardy, our Awesome Administrator - yes, that’s her actual job title (and yes, she lives up to it daily).

Sarah’s been rocking the front lines at Reed for 4 years now, and honestly, we don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s the friendly voice you hear when you call. She’s the calm in the inbox storm. She sets up your Alarm.com accounts. She helps you troubleshoot your tech when our Support Desk is jammed. She even collects your bills - but in the nicest way possible.

Basically, Sarah gets stuff done...and she does it with a smile.

But she’s not just helping clients. She’s also helping us celebrate. She’s on the Reed Security 25th Birthday Party Planning Committee (and it’s gonna be epic on May 25th). And she’s the one who sneaks out to pick up cakes or cookies for staff birthdays. Pro tip: don’t stand between Sarah and the bakery box.

When we asked her what she likes about working at Reed Security, she said:

“It feels like family here. I love helping people, and we have so much fun together.”

And she means it. Some of her favorite Reed moments include:

🎳 A full-team Bowlarama battle (yes, there were strikes… and questionable dance moves)

💪 A staff workout with a personal trainer (there were also groans and sore muscles for days)

Outside of work, Sarah’s a total family-first kind of person. She loves baking, spending time with her crew, and getting zen with Cosmic Kids Yoga (Google it - you’ll thank her later).

Sarah lives our values - TrustLoyaltyCare, and Effort every single day, and she makes Reed Security better just by being herself.

Thank you Sarah for being Awesome!

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF KEEPING YOU SAFE


Happy New Year!


2025 is a BIG year for us - Reed Security is celebrating 25 years of keeping you safe.


When I started this company in 2000 my goal was simple: provide effective security solutions with expert local service. A quarter century later, we’ve grown a lot, but our commitment to you has never changed.


Security has come a long way since the early days.


Basic alarms have become smart home and business security systems with intuative touch screens. Control your alarm, cameras, lights, locks and temperature with one single app.


Black and white video surveillance systems have become smart camera systems with Artificial Intelligence. Security cameras can identify people and take action.


Local keyless entry systems have become smart access control systems that can be controlled from anywhere. Remotely buzz people in or unlock doors at your building with a smartphone.


We’ve worked hard to stay ahead of the curve. What hasn’t changed is our focus on building relationships. You’re not just clients; you’re part of the Reed family.


Thank you for trusting Reed for 25 years!

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.






Testimonial

At Reed Security, we pride ourselves on a seamless installation process that prioritizes customer satisfaction. Here’s what Lindsay Ullathorne, the owner of Canadian Tire 912, had to say about the experience:


“Our Account Executive Geoff was professional, informative, and clear with his communication. Our Techs Ty and Brendan were friendly, paid attention to detail, and were tidy. Overall, Reed Security made things easy and would recommend them to others.”

-Lindsay Ullathorne, Dealer, Canadian Tire 912


Reed Security is dedicated to providing customized security solutions that meet the unique needs of every client. With a team of professionals who prioritize clear communication, friendly service, and attention to detail, we aim to make the installation process simple and effective.
