In an emergency, you need someone that is dependable and qualified. With Securco’s 24/7 security system monitoring, you get that reliability and so much more. We offer monitoring from Canadian-based monitoring stations with built-in system redundancies. With this type of system in place, we ensure there is never a loss of service.
From intrusion and fire alarms to elevator monitoring, Securco helps businesses in Victoria, Nanaimo, and across Vancouver Island stay protected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Commercial Alarm Monitoring for Your Business
A security system can detect an incident, but professional monitoring helps make sure someone is there to respond. With commercial alarm monitoring, signals from your monitored security systems are sent to a professional monitoring station where trained operators can take action based on the type of event and your established response procedures.
This provides an important additional layer of protection outside regular business hours, during holidays, or anytime your property is unoccupied. Rather than relying solely on an employee or business owner to notice an alert, professional monitoring provides around-the-clock oversight for your property.
Securco can incorporate monitoring into a comprehensive commercial security system alongside intrusion alarms, security cameras, access control, and other security technologies based on the needs of your business.
Fire Monitoring
Our security systems can be equipped with smart, fire monitoring equipment allowing us to monitor your fire alarm control panel. This monitoring enables us to check for faults, system failures, and tampering as well as detecting fire emergencies.
Elevator Monitoring
Keep your customers and employees safe with our elevator monitoring. Our monitoring stations can use this system to check for equipment faults, alarms, and maintenance needs ensuring less downtime and peace of mind.
Canadian-based ULC rated monitoring stations
At Securco, we take pride in working exclusively with Canadian-based monitoring stations that are also Underwriters Laboratories of Canada Certified (ULC) which means they meet the highest Canadian standards for alarm monitoring stations. This guarantees that your property is being kept safe by a highly trained staff who are constantly watching out for your best interests. They keep detailed records, have advanced dispatch software, and work in a highly secure environment.
Enjoy your time off from your business as it will be protected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commercial alarm monitoring connects your business security system to a professional monitoring station. When a monitored alarm or event is triggered, the monitoring station receives a signal and trained operators follow the appropriate response procedures for your business.
The response depends on the type of alarm and your established procedures. Monitoring operators may assess the signal, contact designated keyholders, follow verification procedures, or contact the appropriate emergency services when required.
Professional monitoring can be particularly valuable for businesses that are vacant overnight, store valuable equipment or inventory, have multiple access points, or need protection outside regular operating hours. It ensures someone is available to respond to monitored security events even when you aren't on site.
A ULC-rated monitoring station meets applicable requirements established by Underwriters Laboratories of Canada for professional alarm monitoring. These requirements address areas such as monitoring operations, equipment, security, staffing, and service reliability.
