Yes. We specialize in security for Niagara's thriving vacation rental market. There are over 1,400 active Airbnb listings in the region, and we've secured many of them. Our systems include smart locks with temporary guest codes that automatically expire, exterior cameras for property monitoring, and full remote access so you can manage everything from anywhere. We understand the unique needs of Airbnb, VRBO, and vacation property owners who need to balance security with guest convenience.

Most Niagara Region residential installations are scheduled within one to two weeks of signing up. If you have an urgent need. Maybe you've experienced a break-in, you're preparing a vacation property for rental season, or you have a specific deadline. Let us know and we'll do our best to expedite. The actual installation typically takes 2-4 hours for a standard home system, longer for larger properties or commercial installations. Being headquartered right here in Niagara Falls means we can often schedule faster than competitors who travel from out of town.

Yes, absolutely. Our smartphone app works anywhere you have internet access. Whether you're across the border in Buffalo, visiting family elsewhere, or on vacation overseas. You can arm and disarm your system, view live camera feeds, receive instant alerts, and lock or unlock smart-enabled doors. Many Niagara residents who frequently cross the border particularly appreciate this. Check your cameras from the outlet mall. Lock your door from the Peace Bridge line.

When your alarm triggers, the signal goes instantly to our ULC-certified monitoring centre via cellular connection. No dependence on your home internet or phone line. A trained operator immediately verifies the alarm type and contacts you at your primary number. If you confirm it's a false alarm and provide your verbal password, we cancel the response. If you don't answer, can't verify, or confirm there's an emergency, we immediately dispatch Niagara Regional Police, Fire, or EMS depending on the alarm type. The entire process takes seconds, not minutes.

This is our home base. We service the entire Niagara Region including Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Fort Erie, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Thorold, Port Colborne, Grimsby, Lincoln, Pelham, and all surrounding communities. Our technicians work throughout the region every single day because they live here. This isn't the edge of our service area. It's the centre of it.

Often, yes. Many insurance companies offer discounts for professionally monitored security systems, typically ranging from 5-20% off your premiums. ULC-certified monitoring like ours is specifically recognized by Canadian insurers because it meets strict national standards. We provide documentation proving your system meets insurance requirements. The discount varies by insurer, so check with your provider. But the savings often offset a significant portion of your monthly monitoring cost, making professional security surprisingly affordable.

In many cases, yes. If you have an existing system from ADT, Vivint, Rogers Smart Home, or another provider, we can often take over monitoring without replacing all your equipment. We'll assess your current system, verify compatibility with our monitoring centre, and let you know if a full takeover is possible or if some equipment upgrades are recommended. This can save you significant money compared to starting from scratch with all new equipment.

We're Canadian-owned, operated, and headquartered right here in Niagara Falls. That means your monitoring fees stay in Canada supporting Canadian jobs. We're not a subsidiary of some multinational corporation or a franchise operation. Our technicians are your neighbours. They live and work in the Niagara Region. We don't use high-pressure door-to-door sales tactics, and we won't lock you into predatory long-term contracts. When you call for service, you reach someone who can actually help. Not a call centre overseas.

Vehicle theft has hit record levels, and the Niagara Region is no exception. Catalytic converter theft has surged in communities from Niagara Falls to Welland. A visible driveway camera with motion alerts tells you the second someone approaches your vehicle. Night vision means you get clear footage even at 3 AM. Pair that with a monitored alarm and motion-activated lights, and your property becomes a much harder target. The footage also gives Niagara Regional Police exactly what they need to investigate.

In most cases, yes. We specialize in alarm system takeovers from ADT, TELUS SmartHome, Vivint, Bell, and other providers. With TELUS now owning both ADT Canada and Vivint Canada, a lot of Niagara homeowners want out. We'll check your existing equipment for free, verify it works with our monitoring centre, and handle the transition. Most takeovers need minimal changes. You keep your sensors and wiring. We swap the communication module. Contact us for a free takeover assessment.

DIY systems are cheaper upfront but come with real trade-offs. Pro installation means we spot the weak points you'd miss and put sensors exactly where they need to go. Our systems use cellular communication with battery backup, so they work even when your internet goes down or power gets cut during a Niagara ice storm. We use commercial-grade equipment that's more reliable than consumer DIY gear. And ULC-certified professional monitoring is what insurance companies want to see for premium discounts. DIY self-monitoring doesn't qualify.

We're biased, obviously. But here's what makes us different from every other option. We're the only security company actually headquartered in Niagara Falls. Our office is on Stanley Avenue. Our technicians live in the region. When TELUS or ADT sends someone to Niagara, that person is driving from Toronto or Hamilton. When we send someone, they're driving from home. We use professional DSC, Honeywell, and Qolsys equipment. Not proprietary gear that locks you in. ULC-certified monitoring from a Canadian centre. No long-term contracts. Check our reviews and ask around the neighbourhood. That's the real answer.

TELUS bought ADT Canada and Vivint Canada. So if you're comparing those three, you're really comparing one company with three different price sheets. Their equipment is proprietary. If you cancel, it becomes a paperweight. Their technicians come from out of town. Their contracts lock you in for years. Their monitoring centres are corporate operations that don't know Niagara from North Bay. We install industry-standard equipment you actually own. No contracts. Local techs. And a monitoring centre staffed by Canadians who know the area. For most Niagara homeowners, the choice is pretty straightforward once you compare the fine print.

Professional 24/7 monitoring from Force Security typically runs between $30 and $45 per month depending on the features you need. That gets you ULC-certified monitoring, cellular communication, smartphone app access, and real human response when your alarm triggers. For context, that's less than most people spend on streaming subscriptions. And some insurers give you 5-20% off your home insurance for having monitored security. Which can offset most or all of the monthly cost. Get a free quote for exact pricing based on your property.
