ACTVGRD™: LIVE VIDEO MONITORING AND MOBILE SURVEILLANCE UNITS FOR THE PRAIRIES


ACTVGRD is Reed Security’s new live video monitoring solution for sites across Saskatchewan and Alberta that deal with theft, trespassing, and vandalism after hours.


Using AI-powered remote video surveillance, mobile surveillance units, and trained live remote guards, ACTVGRD detects intrusions, verifies threats, and escalates to the police when needed.

Most cameras record problems.

ACTVGRD is built to stop them.


How ACTVGRD works


ACTVGRD combines AI detection with live human monitoring. When someone enters a restricted area, they’re identified, challenged over on-site speakers, and escalated if they don’t leave. Verified incidents can result in police response and arrests when warranted.


This stops loss in real time instead of documenting it later.




Built for prairie sites


ACTVGRD is designed for sites with limited power, changing layouts, or large outdoor areas:


  • Mobile surveillance units for temporary or remote locations
  • Solar-powered trailers where power and internet are limited
  • AI Box for rapid deployment on fixed sites


It’s a practical fit for construction sites, equipment yards, dealerships, rural facilities, and remote infrastructure across the Prairies.


Who it's for


ACTVGRD is a strong fit for:


  • Dealerships and inventory yards
  • Construction and equipment sites
  • Rural towns, lake properties, and First Nations
  • Utilities, solar sites, and commercial properties with outdoor assets




What you get


  • Live video monitoring
  • AI-powered threat detection
  • Real-time voice deterrence
  • Escalation to security or police
  • Incident reports with video, timelines, and actions taken


Is ACTVGRD right for your site?


If you’re dealing with repeat after-hours incidents, this is the upgrade from passive cameras.

REED SECURITY PARTNERS WITH CANADIAN SECURITY LEADER INAXSYS


We’re adding another video surveillance line to our portfolio, and we’re doing it with a Canadian company that aligns with how we operate.


Reed Security has officially partnered with Inaxsys Security Systems to expand our video surveillance offerings. They’re headquartered in Canada, operate a Canadian data center, and back their technology with strong, responsive support. That combination matters to us, and it matters to our clients.


This week, David Hein, VP of Key Accounts & Business Development, and Juan Campos, Sales Manager for Central Canada, spent a full training day at our Saskatoon headquarters with our field technicians. The room included Reed Security techs along with several dealers and contractors we work closely with. Same systems, same standards, same expectations.


We don’t add new technology lines casually. If it doesn’t meet our requirements for reliability, data security, and real-world support, it doesn’t make the cut. Inaxsys earned their place in our portfolio.


More capability. More choice. Same commitment to quality.


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.
