Professional Security Camera installation in Vancouver

For over a decade, we’ve installed security cameras that follow BC’s PIPA and PIPEDA privacy laws, requirements that many properties must meet to avoid regulatory issues.

We identify your coverage gaps, install reliable wiring, and integrate everything with your existing alarm system so your footage stays clear, legally compliant, and useful when you need it.

We configure encrypted remote viewing, compliant storage, and smart alerts that cut false alarms and help your security team react faster.

Downtown Van 4K Security Camera Installs

We install 4K security cameras with proper placement and professional wiring that meets BC Electrical Code standards. The higher resolution allows you to identify faces, license plates, and incident details that lower-quality cameras miss. Our licensed technicians configure each system to match your property’s layout and vulnerabilities, connect it to your existing security setup, and provide ongoing support when you need adjustments or repairs.

Upgrading Outdated Security Systems

We’ve upgraded security systems for many Downtown Vancouver properties, replacing aging analogue and DVR systems with modern IP cameras that meet current privacy regulations. Many older systems lack encryption, have footage quality too poor for identification, or don’t comply with PIPEDA storage requirements.

We assess what equipment can be reused (like cabling or mounting hardware), replace outdated components, and ensure it works with your current security infrastructure. You’ll get clearer footage, remote access, and compliance without rewiring your entire property.

Questions Often Asked

Do I Need Permits for Security Camera Installation in Vancouver?
Electrical work requires permits through Technical Safety BC, which we handle as licenced contractors. If you’re in a strata property, you’ll need approval from your strata council before installation. We manage the electrical permitting process, help you navigate strata requirements, and ensure your camera placement complies with BC’s PIPA privacy regulations and respects neighbouring properties.
Recording audio in Canada requires consent under Criminal Code s.184, PIPEDA, and BC’s PIPA. You must obtain consent before recording conversations, post clear signage indicating audio recording is active, store recordings securely with limited access, and delete recordings after 30 days unless needed for investigations. Audio recording is prohibited in areas where privacy is expected, such as washrooms and break rooms. Most commercial properties choose to disable audio on cameras to avoid these compliance requirements. We can configure your system either way.
Yes. We integrate existing analogue cameras with IP systems using HD-over-coax technology or video encoders that convert analogue signals to digital. We’ll assess which cameras are worth keeping based on their resolution and condition, check if your network can handle the additional bandwidth, and configure everything to work as one unified system. This lets you upgrade gradually without replacing cameras that still work well.
Yes. We secure your network video recorders and routers by changing default passwords, closing unnecessary ports, separating camera traffic from your main network, enabling multi-factor authentication, and keeping firmware updated. This prevents unauthorized access to your camera feeds and protects your network from being used as an entry point for cyberattacks. We can also provide ongoing monitoring and security updates.
Annual maintenance typically costs 8-12% of your system’s initial value. This covers quarterly inspections, firmware updates, lens cleaning, cable checks, and priority support when issues arise. We document all maintenance for insurance and compliance audits. Optional cybersecurity monitoring and hardening services are available separately if your property requires enhanced network security.
