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.

TOP 9 REASONS YOU NEED AN ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

If safeguarding your business and employees is important to you, it's essential to invest in a system that offers more than just basic security.

An access control system provides enhanced security, insightful data to make informed decisions and better accountability





Top 9 features and benefits of access control


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:
 Our Access Control System integrates smoothly with your existing security alarm and cameras, providing a cohesive and fortified layer of protection.

   

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.


8. Cost-Efficiency: Save on costs in the long run by preventing security breaches, reducing the need for physical security personnel, and potentially lowering your insurance premiums. No More keys to replace.

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.
