Ottawa winters, from official records

61 days a winter that freeze, then thaw

On these days the temperature fell below 0 °C and rose above it within the same day. Seals, cable entries and mounts expand and contract again and again, which is why we pay attention to how each one is fixed and sealed.

Questions we hear in Ottawa

How many cameras do I need?+

It depends on the size and layout of your space. For a typical home, 3 to 6 cameras are enough: front door, driveway, backyard and garage. For businesses we suggest a quick walkthrough to find blind spots and cover entrances.

What is the difference between CCTV and a WiFi camera?+

CCTV cameras are wired to a recorder and do not depend on WiFi. WiFi cameras are faster to install and suit condos and rentals.

How much does it cost to install security cameras in Ottawa?+

WiFi camera installation starts at $200 for one or two cameras, before tax. Wired systems are quoted for each property. Quotes are free.

Can a tenant install a security camera?+

It depends on your lease and on where the camera points. WiFi cameras that need no drilling are a common choice for rentals; check with your landlord first.

How long does installation take?+

Most homes with two to six cameras take one visit of three to six hours.
