NEW! OUR AI FLOODLIGHT CAMERA PROTECTS YOUR DRIVEWAY


Meet the Only Camera That Fights Back

Most cameras record.

Some cameras alert.

This one intervenes.


Reed Security is proud to introduce the new Alarm.com AI Floodlight Camera - the most advanced outdoor security device we’ve ever installed. And it’s only available with professional installation by our expert team.


This isn’t your average motion light or driveway cam.


It’s a smart deterrent system built for one purpose:   

To stop crime before it happens.





The #1 Way to Protect Vehicles in Your Driveway

If you’ve ever had your car broken into or know someone who has, you know how frustrating it is. Cameras might catch a grainy image after the fact - but by then, the damage is done.


Our AI Floodlight Camera is different.


✅ It detects people loitering near your vehicle

✅ It triggers 3,000 lumens of blinding LED light

✅ It activates flashing red and blue strobes, just like a police cruiser

✅ It plays a loud siren to scare off criminals

✅ You can talk to the person live via two-way audio

✅ You get a smart alert on your phone in real-time


No other camera on the market responds like this.


High-Performance Tech, Professionally Installed by Reed Security

This isn’t a DIY product. It’s a pro-grade security solution designed to work with your existing Alarm.com smart system - and it’s available at Reed Security and our authorized dealers.


We’ll come to your home or business, install it properly, and set it up to:


  • Record 24/7 or based on smart motion triggers
  • Save encrypted footage locally (with microSD) or in the cloud
  • Integrate with your smart home devices (locks, lights, garage, etc.)






💡 Light Up Your Property. Scare Off Intruders. Sleep Better.

Whether you’re protecting your family, your vehicle, or your tools and gear, the Alarm.com AI Floodlight Camera gives you the upper hand.


Perfect for:

  • Driveways
  • Backyards
  • Side yards
  • Garages and sheds
  • Business loading areas or parking lots

THINK BEFORE YOU POST


You're at the lake. You snap the perfect sunset pic. You post it with a caption like “Gone for the week!”

Guess who else is watching?

Burglars scroll social media too - and your public post just told them your house is empty.

Here’s the smarter move:

  • Wait to post your vacation photos until you’re back.
  • Or share privately with trusted friends and family through text, WhatsApp, or private groups.
  • Keep your profile settings tight. Limit what strangers can see.

💡 You wouldn’t hang a “We’re not home!” sign on your front door. So don’t do it online either.

Stay off the radar while you're away - and come home to everything just the way you left it.



SEE SOMETHING? SAY SOMETHING.


Summertime means more time outdoors - camping trips, long weekends, and evenings in the backyard. It also means empty homes, open garage doors, and more opportunity for criminals to snoop around.

If you see something suspicious, don’t ignore it.

  • Call the Police and report the activity. You could be stopping a crime before it happens.

  • Share the info with your neighbours, especially if it’s something like a strange vehicle cruising slowly down the street or someone poking around yards.

  • Post in your neighbourhood Facebook group or community app. The more eyes, the better.

💡 Criminals don’t like attention. Neighbours who look out for each other make a street much harder to target.

At Reed Security, we believe security starts with awareness - and teamwork. When communities watch out for each other, everyone wins.

👉 Stay tuned for Tip #2 next week.




1,500 SMILES, ONE VERY HAPPY DAY!


Big news.

On May 25th, 2025 we threw a party - Reed Security’s 25th Birthday - and 1,500 people showed up. Clients, families, staff, vendor partners, friends, and our community all came together to celebrate at Gather Local Market in downtown Saskatoon.

We called it BOUNCEFEST, and yeah - it was a lot of fun:
The most bouncy castles ever assembled in downtown Saskatoon.

But it wasn’t just about bounce. It was about connection. Laughter. Gratitude. And the kind of collaboration you only get when Partners show up for each other.

ACADIA GROUP OF COMPANIES GETS PROTECTED BY REED SECURITY


When Acadia Group of Companies broke ground on their state‑of‑the‑art building at 120 Prospect Road in Saskatoon’s BizHub Industrial Park, they knew their security needed to keep pace with growth.

Objectives:

- Seamless integration of alarms, cameras, and door/gate control

- Centralized management via desktop and mobile

- Easily manage security for 150+ employees

- Scalable platform to support future expansion

   - Remote arm/disarm functionality for added convenience


2. Access Control

   - Electronic door locks and gate control using smartphones

How Acadia Leverages Alarm.com

User Management: Quickly add, modify, or remove access for up to 150 employees - no more physical keys. New smartphones simply require new mobile credentials.  

Zone‑Specific Permissions: Define access levels for yard gates, the shop floor, and the office with tailored schedules.  

After‑Hours Monitoring: The system auto‑arms every evening at a specified time, sends confirmation when armed, and alerts on any non‑typical activity - like an HVAC service door opening at 5:10 AM or unexpected entry at 8:56 PM.  

Video Verification: Link alarms to live camera feeds to verify incidents remotely. If a false alarm occurs, Jason can disarm the system and clear the event from his phone within seconds.  

Remote Control: Arm or disarm the system and unlock doors via the Alarm.com mobile app to ensure authorized personnel can enter without delay.





Why Choose Alarm.com on a Unified Platform?

Efficiency: One login, one app, one vendor—streamlining support and training.

Reliability: Enterprise‑grade hardware backed by 24/7 monitoring options.

Scalability: Easily add sensors, cameras, or doors as your facility grows.

Cost‑Effectiveness: Bundled services lower installation and maintenance expenses.
