1. Controlled Access: Control who goes where and when within your premises, protecting sensitive areas from unauthorized access and potential risks.

   

2. Customizable Security Levels: Adapt to the unique needs of your business by setting different access levels, ensuring that employees can only access areas necessary for their role.

   




3. Real-Time Alerts:
 Keep a real-time eye on the movements within your business premises, which can be pivotal in both preventing and addressing security incidents quickly.

   

4. Reduced Risk of Theft and Vandalism: By restricting access to certain areas, you significantly lower the chances of theft and vandalism, safeguarding your assets and intellectual property.

   




5. Integration with Existing Security Systems:

6. Compliance and Reporting: Effortlessly maintain compliance with industry regulations through detailed reporting and audit trails that the system can generate, giving you peace of mind and saving time.


7. Enhanced Employee Safety: Elevate the safety of your employees by controlling access to the premises and safeguarding them from potential intruders.

SECURING YOUR HOME FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR


As the back-to-school season arrives, life gets busy. Between making sure the kids have their backpacks packed, lunches prepared, and everyone out the door on time, home security might not be at the forefront of your mind. But as routines change and schedules get hectic, ensuring your home is secure becomes even more important.


Be prepared to upgrade


If it’s been a while since you’ve checked on it, now’s a good time to make sure everything is in working order. Technology has come a long way, and if your system is a bit outdated, consider upgrading to something a little smarter. With the latest security features, you can get real-time alerts and monitor your home from anywhere - like when you’re stuck in traffic or at that after-school activity that always seems to run late.

Rogers recently announced the shutdown of 2G and 3G cellular services on March 31st, 2025. Many home and commercial security systems will be impacted - so check with your security provider right away.





Get instant notifications


Speaking of smart upgrades, let’s talk about smart locks. If you’ve ever found yourself standing outside your house, wondering where the kids misplaced their keys this time, you’ll appreciate the convenience of a smart lock. No more spare keys hidden under the doormat or panic when a key goes missing. With a smart lock, you can control access from your phone and even get notified when the kids arrive home. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in how secure and stress-free your day feels.


Add a smart lock to your home security system for as little as
$1/mo. for the first 3 months*.



Show them how it works


Now, we all know kids are quick learners, especially when it comes to technology. So, why not take a few minutes to teach them the basics of home security? Show them how to lock the doors, arm the security system, and what to do if something doesn’t feel right. This way, they’re not just relying on you for safety - they’re part of the solution. And while you’re at it, a gentle reminder that sharing the Wi-Fi password with the whole neighborhood isn’t the best idea wouldn’t hurt either.


Another thing to consider is your home’s outdoor security. Good lighting is a simple yet effective way to keep your property safe. Motion-activated lights can deter unwanted visitors and help ensure that those early morning or late evening arrivals are well-lit and safe. Combine that with a few strategically placed security cameras, and you’ve got a solid setup that keeps an eye on things even when you can’t.


Add smart security cameras for as little as
 
$1/mo. for the first 3 months*.


Share the plan


But security isn’t just about the physical aspects - it’s also about being prepared for the unexpected. Having a family emergency plan in place is crucial. Make sure everyone in the family knows what to do if the security system goes off or if there’s an emergency while you’re not home. It’s like a practice drill, but with real-life stakes, and reviewing it regularly ensures everyone knows their role.


As you navigate the back-to-school season, taking these steps will help you maintain peace of mind, knowing that your home and family are well-protected. At Reed Security, we’re committed to helping you keep your home safe. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your system or just need some advice, we’re here to assist.


So, as you focus on getting the kids out the door and into their school routine, remember that securing your home doesn��t have to be complicated. A few thoughtful changes can make all the difference in keeping your family safe, no matter what the school year brings.

HOW TO DETER A BURGLAR


HOW TO DETER A BURGLAR

In Canada, Break-in's occur every 90 seconds.

Use Reed Security's summer home security tips to reduce break-in's and put the odds of reduced property crime in your favor.


1. Burglars don't like awareness.

Share information about suspicious activity or crime with the Police and your neighbours.


2. Burglars can see you are travelling.

Do not post photos and videos of you travelling on social media.

Instead share privately with family and close friends.


3. Burglars look for easy access.

Make it difficult by locking doors and windows.

Consider adding window bars to basement windows.


4. Burglars don't like to be seen.

Keep your property well lit at night.

It also gives the appearance you may be at home.


5. Burglars target homes without security.

You are 400% less likely to have a break in with a monitored Reed™ smart security system.

Insurance companies often provide discounts.


6. Burglars don't like to be recorded.

ReedHD™ smart cameras detect visitors and alert you.

See, listen and speak to visitors and interrupt burglars.


7. Burglars like to hide.

Trim shrubs and trees to increase visibility.

Hire a student or landscaper for larger projects.


8. Burglars steal outdoor valuables.

Secure your your barbecue and lockup bicycles and lawnmowers in a lockable shed or garage.


9. Burglars target unoccupied homes.

Have a close friend or family member pick up your mail, cut your lawn and check on your property.
