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!

Owner, CEO

Use Reed Security's checklist to keep The Grinch away this holiday season.

☐ 2. DO NOT ADVERTISE YOU ARE AWAY

• Ask all strangers for identification. The person who is “lost” and looking for directions could actually be The Grinch checking to see if someone is home.
  
• DO NOT advertise on Facebook or Instagram that you are travelling. You may think you’re letting your friends and family know you’re having a great time, but people often forget to change their privacy settings. If you like to post photos - post them after you get back.

 

☐ 3. LOCK YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS

• The Grinch targets unlocked doors - including vehicle doors. Make sure all doors and windows are locked.
  
• If you lose a key get the locks changed.
• A better alternative is to eliminate keys altogether by installing an Alarm.com smart lock with built in keypad.
• Install monitored door and window sensors.
• When your security system is "armed" an instant alert is sent to your smartphone and our 24/7 Monitoring Stations.
• Some properties may require security roll shutters to keep intruders out.

☐ 4. KEEP THE LIGHTS ON 

• The Grinch targets unoccupied homes - so keep your home well lit at night.
• Install exterior motion lights that turn on when there is movement.
• Install timers to turn on lights, radios and televisions on at different times. This gives the appearance that someone is home. 
• A better option is to install Alarm.com smart lights and smart plug modules - setup on alternating schedules.
  

☐ 5. INSTALL A SMART SECURITY SYSTEM

• $0 Smart Security systems range from $39.99 to $89.99 a month 
• Protection against intrusion, fire, carbon monoxide, flood, low temperature and more...
• Elegant touch screen and hub for home automation devices
• Control with Alarm.com smartphone and desktop apps
• Includes 24/7 professional monitoring
• 400% less likely to have a break-in
• Up to 20% off homeowners insurance - consult your insurance company

☐ 6. INSTALL SMART CAMERAS

• The Grinch avoids homes with outdoor security cameras
• Get instant alerts when The Grinch or a visitor is at your property
• Check on your property from Anywhere
• All events are recorded and can be used as evidence
• Secure your entire property in color 24/7 with our $0 ColorVu Camera Sale

After spending years working at Future Shop (Best Buy) and ADT Security I decided to go out on my own and launch a security company in Saskatoon, SK. I was 26 years old and had a lot of enthusiasm, but was really naive on how to start and run a business. 

It was pretty tough in the early years (2000) and I failed a lot. I was determined to succeed - even when our accountant at the time suggested otherwise "sometimes you have to give up your dream" he said. 

Today Reed Security services thousands of clients across the prairies from our head office and dealerships in Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Regina and Calgary. We've received 20+ Award Recognitions for Customer Service, Management Quality, Marketing, New Direction, Young Entrepreneur and Small Business of the Year.

In this podcast I share how I failed, how I overcame challenges, and how WE Built Reed Security into the successful brand it is today.
