When it was time to make a decision on where to expand the family business, Victoria was the obvious choice for Security & Cellular Plus.
B次元官网网址淲e put a lot of thought and research into getting established in Victoria,B次元官网网址 said Rich Worth, owner and president of the Saskatoon-based company that specializes in security and environmental monitoring for homes and businesses. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a very beautiful city with a small-town vibe, great people and a great atmosphere. ItB次元官网网址檚 similar to Saskatoon in many ways including the population, and that was a big draw.B次元官网网址
Security & Cellular Plus offers a broad range of services, including 24/7 environmental monitoring, alarm services and systems, home and business security, construction surveillance, life safety, medical alert, interactive security, mobile apps, video monitoring, access control and more.
B次元官网网址淲e take a very hands-on approach to providing security solutions,B次元官网网址 said Worth, who launched the location on the West Shore in January. B次元官网网址淧eople want to deal with a local company, have someone come out to your home or business and customize service and products to suit their individual needs. One click on your phone at bedtime sets all your systems on go for your interior and perimeter.B次元官网网址
The system is monitored 24 hours a day, whether you are home or away, Worth added. B次元官网网址淚f youB次元官网网址檙e watching TV upstairs and a fire starts downstairs, youB次元官网网址檙e notified immediately, even if you havenB次元官网网址檛 set the system.B次元官网网址
Environmental monitoring utilizes sensors that provide protection from everything from a flood in the neighbourhood to an overflowing sink or blown hot water heater, Worth explained.
People can monitor carbon monoxide, fire and smoke hazards through their phone as well, and have live streaming from their front doors and driveways. B次元官网网址淎 lot of parents really like the peace of mind that comes with a notification that your kids are home from school,B次元官网网址 he noted. B次元官网网址淎nother feature we offer is an automatic door lock where your cleaning lady can enter with out a key, for example, but only at specific times.B次元官网网址
Worth noted that someone who travels a lot or is away for extended periods is going to have different demands than someone who only goes away for a couple of weeks a year.
B次元官网网址淪ecurity is evolving as our lifestyles change,B次元官网网址 he said. B次元官网网址淭he biggest misconception is that security is only for break-ins. ThereB次元官网网址檚 a lot of expensive real estate in Victoria. People want protection that ranges from knowing if you left your garage door open to being alerted to water issues in your neighbourhood.B次元官网网址
Worth stresses that the qualities that made Security & Cellular Plus such a success in Saskatoon for 28 years are an integral part of the companyB次元官网网址檚 approach to getting established in Victoria.
B次元官网网址淭he business has always been based on family values,B次元官网网址 he said. B次元官网网址淚 couldnB次元官网网址檛 do this if I didnB次元官网网址檛 find helping people feel secure so rewarding.B次元官网网址
Basic 24-hour monitoring services start at $19.95 a month. For more on Security & Cellular Plus, check out .
