Home security in Brampton, planned around how Brampton homes are actually built

Two households, one address

Many Brampton homes have a second unit in the basement, rented or shared with family. Security for these homes has to answer a simple question: who can arm and disarm what? We usually split the house into separate areas so the upstairs family and the basement occupants each have their own code and their own entry door sensors, while smoke and CO alarms cover the whole building. If the second unit is rented, the Ontario Fire Code puts smoke and CO alarm duties on the landlord, so we document what is installed and where.

The garage is the real front door

In a typical Brampton build, the door from the garage into the house is the one people forget to lock. We put a contact sensor on that interior door, a tilt sensor on the overhead door, and, if you want, a camera that covers the driveway rather than the street. A driveway view is the one you want when you are checking on a vehicle at 3 a.m.

Doorbells and deliveries

Busy streets mean packages sit on porches. A video doorbell that records the full porch, plus a simple delivery instruction for the side door, solves most of it without a wall of cameras.

What a walkthrough in Brampton looks like

We start with your Safety Score answers, then check the things the score can't see: the date on every smoke and CO alarm, the doors you actually use, Wi-Fi strength where a camera would go, and who needs a code. You get an itemized quote in writing and decide in your own time.
