Our team of skilled security professionals works tirelessly to safeguard homes across Vancouver’s most exclusive neighborhoods, offering comprehensive security solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

The Cornerstone Difference: Tailored Security Solutions

Our approach to residential security is based on one fundamental principle: personalization. We know that each home, family, and lifestyle is unique, and that’s why we take a bespoke approach to every security plan. Whether you live in a gated community, an urban condo, or a sprawling estate, we ensure that our solutions are seamlessly integrated into your daily life without compromising your privacy, comfort, or convenience.

From the latest in smart security technology to trained and certified security personnel, our services offer a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to security. Let’s delve deeper into the various components that make up Cornerstone Security & Transport’s residential security services.

Surveillance: The Eyes of Your Property

Surveillance is a crucial component of residential security, offering constant vigilance to detect and respond to potential threats early. Whether through high-definition CCTV, motion sensors, or video analytics, keeping an eye on your property at all times helps ensure any unusual activity is quickly addressed.

We provide a range of surveillance solutions that integrate seamlessly with your home’s infrastructure, including video surveillance cameras, remote monitoring via mobile apps, and secure security dashboards. Our systems feature night vision, motion detection, and wireless connectivity, allowing 24/7 monitoring regardless of the time of day.

Additionally, motion-activated lights and video systems act as a deterrent to potential intruders. When unusual activity is detected, alarms, lights, and real-time alerts are triggered to help keep your property secure. Our surveillance solutions are designed to ensure that your home remains well-monitored, well-lit, and well-protected at all times.

Alarm Systems: Immediate Response, Guaranteed

A key element of any comprehensive security setup is a reliable alarm system. At Cornerstone Security & Transport, we provide advanced alarm systems that integrate seamlessly into your home’s broader security network. When an alarm is triggered, both the homeowner and our security team are notified immediately, ensuring swift and appropriate action.

Our monitoring systems offer real-time alerts and response capabilities, giving you peace of mind that any potential threat—whether a break-in attempt, fire, or other emergency—will prompt an immediate response. Designed for rapid notification and quick action, our alarm systems ensure that your home remains protected around the clock.

Perimeter Defense: Protecting the Boundaries

Effective perimeter defense is essential to keeping your property secure from unauthorized access. The boundaries of your property serve as the first line of defense against potential intruders, which is why we focus on enhancing security with fencing, gates, and other robust physical barriers.

Our security fencing solutions provide the height, strength, and durability needed to deter unauthorized entry, made from weather-resistant materials that can withstand the elements. Gates and walls are also implemented to help control access, creating an additional layer of protection around your property.

In addition to these physical barriers, we integrate perimeter lighting to ensure entryways, gates, and fencing are well-lit. This serves to deter potential intruders while improving visibility for security personnel. Motion-activated lights further enhance security by illuminating dark areas, helping to quickly detect and respond to any unusual activity around your property.

Access Control: Managing Who Comes and Goes

Controlling who has access to your property is essential for maintaining a secure environment. At Cornerstone Security & Transport, we know that effective access management is a cornerstone of home security. That’s why we offer advanced access control systems that allow you to manage and monitor entry to your home seamlessly.

With smart locks and access control systems, homeowners can control entry remotely, granting or restricting access from anywhere. Our solutions integrate with your home’s broader security setup, offering centralized control over who enters and exits. Customizable settings allow for restricted access, entry logging, and identity verification, ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to your property.

Additionally, our trained security personnel provide an extra layer of protection by verifying visitor identities, performing security checks, and responding to any incidents at entry points. With a dedicated presence at gates or entryways, we ensure that access to your home remains strictly controlled and secure at all times.

Security Personnel: The Human Element

While technology plays a critical role in residential security, human expertise remains indispensable. Our highly trained security guards and patrol officers provide a visible and proactive presence on your property, ensuring that any potential threats are identified and dealt with before they escalate.

Our security officers are trained in emergency protocols, perimeter defense, access control, and surveillance system operation, making them a valuable asset in maintaining a secure home environment. They are also well-versed in reporting incidents, managing security incidents, and liaising with emergency responders when necessary.

Whether you’re hosting an in-home event or simply need someone to patrol your property at night, our security personnel are equipped to handle any situation. Concierge security staff are also available to assist with non-security tasks, such as overseeing deliveries, managing access requests, and assisting guests.

Monitoring: Keeping an Eye on Your Home, Always

Monitoring is at the heart of any effective security system. At Cornerstone Security & Transport, we offer both real-time monitoring and remote monitoring services, ensuring that your home is always being watched over, even when you’re away.

Our centralized control centers are staffed by trained monitoring technicians who are responsible for overseeing security systems across multiple properties. These technicians respond to alerts in real-time, ensuring that any security event is handled immediately. Our system can also be integrated with video surveillance systems, motion sensors, and alarm systems for comprehensive monitoring that leaves no room for error.

Through security dashboards and remote monitoring, homeowners can view live feeds from their cameras, receive real-time alerts, and access data from their security systems—all through their mobile devices or computers. This connectivity ensures that you are always in control of your home’s security, whether you’re at work, on vacation, or anywhere in the world.

Debunking Common Security Myths

When it comes to residential security, many people hold misconceptions that can lead to suboptimal protection. Let’s take a moment to debunk some of the most common myths:

Believing that a security system can prevent all break-ins: While a robust security system significantly reduces the likelihood of a break-in, it cannot guarantee complete immunity. However, with the right combination of surveillance, access control, perimeter defense, and security personnel, the chances of an intrusion can be minimized.

Thinking that security personnel are not needed if there is a surveillance system: Surveillance cameras are valuable, but they cannot physically deter intruders like trained security guards can. Guards are also able to respond to incidents in real time, something that cameras cannot do on their own.

Assuming that alarm systems will always trigger when there is an intrusion: Alarm systems are effective, but they rely on correct installation and regular maintenance. False alarms can occur, and that’s why integration with motion sensors, surveillance systems, and monitoring services is essential for a comprehensive security plan.

The effectiveness of DIY home security systems versus professionally installed systems: DIY systems are cost-effective but often lack the sophistication and reliability of professional systems. Professional systems are integrated, regularly maintained, and come with trained personnel who can quickly respond to any threats.
