Proactive. Intelligent. Uncompromising.

The Future of Site Security is Here.

When developing premium real estate, the standard for security shouldn’t just be a physical presence. It should be intelligent, seamlessly integrated, and uncompromisingly reliable. Protecting valuable assets, equipment, and timelines shouldn't feel like a cost center - it should feel like an operational advantage.

For Remai Property Group, the status quo of reactive security simply wasn't enough. They needed a solution as forward-thinking as their developments.

Enter ACTVGRD™.

The Challenge: Beyond the Perimeter

Construction sites are inherently vulnerable. At their newest development at 151 Pawlychenko Lane in Saskatoon, SK, Remai Property Group faced the same critical challenges every major developer faces.

Theft: High-value tools and essential materials are prime targets.

Vandalism: Senseless damage that causes costly delays and compromises quality.

Liability: Meeting strict Builders Risk Insurance requirements without inflating the budget.

Traditional security measures - like static cameras that only record the aftermath, or expensive physical guard patrols - leave gaps. Remai Property Group needed a system that didn't just watch, but actively protected.

The Solution: ACTVGRD™ by Reed Security

Deployed by the integration experts at Reed Security, ACTVGRD™ is more than just a camera on a pole. It is a comprehensive, live video monitoring service paired with a state-of-the-art mobile surveillance units.

It represents a paradigm shift in how we secure environments:

Always On: 24/7 continuous live monitoring ensures absolute, unbroken coverage.

Active Deterrence: It doesn't just record what happened; it anticipates and deters threats in real-time, stopping losses before they occur.

Intelligent Economics: ACTVGRD™ fully satisfies Builders Risk Insurance requirements at half the cost of traditional security guards. Better protection. Smarter investment.

The Remai Experience

When technology works this flawlessly, the results speak for themselves. Barry Remai, President of Remai Property Group, shares how ACTVGRD™ has fundamentally transformed their site operations.

"Our biggest risk is thieves who want to steal tools or materials. But even worse than that is the potential for vandalism. This was the first building we decided to go with video surveillance, and we went with Reed Security based on their reputation and the technology they brought... The key is stopping losses before they happen, not just detecting them. I think these live monitoring camera systems are the way of the future."

Construction sites are easy targets.

They’re full of valuable tools, copper wire, equipment, and materials. Most sites also sit empty overnight and on weekends. Criminals know that. They drive by, watch for a few nights, and when nobody responds, they move in.

We’ve seen it happen many times across Saskatchewan.

The problem isn’t that sites don’t have security. Many have cameras or alarm systems. The problem is that most of those systems are passive. Cameras record what happened. Alarms send notifications after someone has already broken in.

By the time anyone reacts, the theft or damage is already done.

Why Construction Sites Are Targeted

Construction sites attract thieves for a few simple reasons:

⬢ Valuable tools and equipment left on site

⬢ Copper wire, fuel, and building materials that are easy to resell

⬢ Limited lighting or security overnight

⬢ No one present after work hours

Even when cameras are visible, criminals often assume nobody is actually watching.

Unfortunately, they’re usually right.

The Problem With Traditional Security

Most construction sites rely on one of three things:

Security cameras

These help after the fact. They provide evidence but rarely stop the crime.

Alarm systems

Alarms trigger once someone has already entered the site. Many thefts happen in minutes.

Security guards

Guards can work, but they are expensive and difficult to staff consistently. Coverage gaps are common.

For many projects, none of these options provide reliable protection.

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.

Escala, a project by Meridian Development, sits in one of the most storied neighbourhoods in Saskatoon. Steps away from the hustle and bustle of Broadway Avenue, yet secluded on University Drive, it offers a mix of apartment-style and townhouse-style condos for those who love the refined life.

Located at 637 University Drive, this luxurious residence is also one of the safest and secure properties in Saskatoon.

Protection for this project included:

Property that has two or more tenants is considered a multi-tenant property. This could be retail, industrial, office, condominium or an apartment building. Managing the security systems of multi-tenant properties can be a challenge for landlords and property managers - especially if the security systems are from different security providers.

We have extensive experience designing centrally managed security systems for housing authorities, property management companies, landlords, housing co-operatives, REITs, development companies and condominium corporations. Our security systems are remotely managed via easy-to-use central management software and high speed internet connections.

Instead of going to the property every time you need to change an access code or retrieve the footage from a security camera for the Police, you can login with apps for your PC, tablet or smartphone. This is a huge time saver!  We can manage the security of your properties for you when you subscribe to a Concierge Service Plan.

We design layered security solutions that will save you time and money. The amount of security layers we implement are based on your needs and budget.
