“I was in their store last month with a friend and picked up a DJI drone, wicked service and knowledge. The young lady that worked in the store was really nice. I went back a few weeks later and purchased a security system for my home. I plan on going back to grab a GoPro with my tax return. Great store and great staff!!” ~ Shawn, Google reviewer

I need a security system in Trail, B.C. What types of security equipment can I find at your store?

Selkirk Security Services carries a range of security equipment, such as:

• Access control systems: Access control systems do more than just lock or unlock a door.

  They can:

  • Prevent unauthorized entries through doors and designated alarm points
  • Monitor and record all activity around a protected facility 24 hours a day
  • Allow instant access changes to doors and alarm points using a PC connected to an access control network
  • Report event-triggered activity and alarms to CCTV Camera Call-Ups, pager messages, or video clips written to a storage device

• Burglary alarm systems: Your security system is one of the most important investments you'll ever make. At Selkirk Security, we do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution or pre-packaged security system. Instead, we will come out to you and do a complete evaluation of your security needs and then design a system based on your individual needs and primary areas of concern. Our staff will install your system in a timely manner and then train you completely on how to operate your system.

• Surveillance camera (CCTV) systems: Selkirk Security specializes in design and installation of video CCTV security camera systems for your home or business. We have package deals that can"t be beat! Let us do a site evaluation so we can determine the type, placement and number of surveillance cameras needed to accomplish your needs. CCTV camera installation is surprisingly affordable and easy to operate.

  We offer complete supply, design, installation and maintenance services for all types of CCTV systems. With so many options, we pride ourselves on our dedicated professional approach by making sure you have the system that will work when you need it.

• Existing alarm systems

  • Do you have an older security system that needs to be replaced or upgraded?
  • Are you experiencing a high number of false alarms?
  • Do you have a pet and require new pet-immune motion detectors?
  • Did you purchase a home with an existing alarm system and need to get it hooked up and monitored?
  • Are you finished paying for your “free system” (actually a financed or rented system) and your current alarm company will not lower your monthly monitoring fees?

  Make a quick call to Selkirk Security Services for a free alarm system audit. We are the first step to ensuring your family, home or business security system is working properly and you're paying the lowest price for monitoring.

• Personal emergency systems: Emergencies can happen anywhere in your home and even in the yard or driveway. LifeSentry will allow one to communicate their message instantly and efficiently from anywhere in and around your home to get help fast—all this with ONE button activation. The Pendant is water-resistant, so it can even be taken into the shower.

• Water and high/low temperature sensors: Whether it is an industrial, commercial or residential application, EnviroAlert provides the flexibility to simultaneously monitor temperature, humidity and/or water in one or more critical environments (sensor probes sold separately). With a designated relay output for each zone, EnviroAlert will activate alarms, dialers, transmitters and more.

I need to hire a security guard in Trail. What do you offer in terms of security services?

For those who require unsurpassed monitoring service, ULC (Underwriters Laboratories of Canada)-rated alarm monitoring is available through our partner companies. Our affiliated central monitoring stations are located right here in British Columbia. The monitoring station is interconnected with eight additional monitoring stations, five located in Canada and three additional ones located in the United States.

Our technical division provides superior service for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Selkirk Security combines a highly skilled technical staff with experienced program managers and design consultants to ensure our customers are making informed decisions on the best solutions. We are committed to providing a full-service resource from planning and design to installation, service and maintenance.

In addition to technical service, we also maintain a team of licensed security guards, medics and alarm responders so that we can provide a solution no matter what the issue.

We also offer lone-worker monitoring services to ensure the safety of employees who work alone. This cost-effective solution protects lone employees regardless of their work environment, bringing peace of mind for everyone–employees and employers and their families. It provides dependable live support for your employees, with 24/7 monitoring by our dispatch centre, ensuring a planned response and enhanced safety.

What types of fire protection equipment do you offer at Selkirk Security Services?

We want you to rest easy knowing you have protection in place in case of a fire or other hazard. We carry a number of products to ensure it, including:

• Smoke detectors: All homes should have smoke detectors installed in them. To take it one step further, all homes should have monitored smoke detectors. You should have a minimum of one smoke detector on each level of your home and—depending upon the square footage—you may require more.

  We usually recommend a minimum of two monitored smoke detectors per 1,000 square feet per level of their home (if it’s a fairly open floor plan). Ideally, your best bet is to have one per room.

• Carbon monoxide detectors: Carbon monoxide is a deadly toxic gas that is undetectable due to the fact that it is colourless, odourless and tasteless. Each year hundreds of people are killed across North America in their own homes by this poisonous gas known as the silent killer.

  Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of the fossil fuels that are present in very common household appliances like furnaces. Does your home or work place have a carbon monoxide detector?
