One standard across
every address you run.
The site that gets hit is usually the one nobody could name. ACS watches staffed, unmanned and remote locations from one operations centre, on one standard, with one set of reports.
You cannot fix
what you cannot compare.
A portfolio's exposure is the volume underneath it: ordinary offences, counted in the millions across the two countries ACS covers.

FBI · UCR summary 20250parking lots & garages
offences recorded in parking lots and garages alone by NIBRS-reporting agencies — the kind of shared space every portfolio carries.
FBI · NIBRS table 18Canadian counts exactly as printed in table 5 of Statistics Canada's Police-reported crime statistics in Canada, 2025 (22 July 2026). The U.S. total is the FBI's national estimate from its Summary of Reported Crimes in the Nation, 2025 (14 August 2026); the parking-lot figure is a NIBRS table 18 count of what participating agencies recorded, not an estimate, and the two U.S. figures are different measures. These are national counts across every kind of property, not a figure for any one portfolio.
One console watching
all of it at once.
Nine sites, nine alarm companies, nine ways to find out late — or one team watching all of it. This is a portfolio the way ACS runs it: every location wired to the same desk.
One site in a portfolio, set up the way every other one is — same head, same rules, same report, whatever the address.
A portfolio does not have a security problem.
It has eleven different ones.
Sites acquired at different times were secured by whoever was local at the time. The cost of that is not the hardware — it is that no two locations can be compared, and nobody can say which one is actually costing money.
-
One survey, in one format
Every site is walked and written up the same way: what is there, what it is worth, how it is entered, what already exists and what it is doing. Until that is true, a portfolio-wide decision is a guess.
-
One set of zone names
Perimeter, ground, controlled point. The same three names on every site, whatever the site is. An exception from a yard and an exception from a retail unit then mean the same thing and can sit in the same list.
-
One console watching all of it
Not eleven portals with eleven passwords. Operators watching one portfolio learn its normal — which shift change is noisy, which gate is always propped, which address has a real problem.
-
One report, monthly
Every site, every exception, in one document with one format. That is the artefact an operations director can take into a budget meeting, and the reason the conversation stops being anecdotal.
-
One number to call
Staffed, unmanned and remote sites on one account, across Canada and the U.S. A site manager in another province calls the same operations centre as the one down the road, and gets the same standard.
What we put on each site,
and what each part stops.
The gap in a portfolio is never the site you think about. Here is what ACS puts where, so the quiet ones are covered to the same standard as the rest.
The same team watches all of them, so an alert from the smallest address gets the same response as the largest.
Remote and unpowered locations get coverage without a build, and the tower moves to the next site when this one is finished.
Existing systems brought onto one standard, so the footage is usable and reaches the same people.
Mobile Patrol & Alarm Response
A licensed officer attends the site, checks it and reports back, instead of a manager driving between addresses.
One contract, one contact and one format of report across the portfolio — see what an assessment covers
The same hardware,
wherever the site is.
A standard is only real if the equipment is the same. These are the three things that go onto a site whatever province it is in.
-
Standard camera cluster Every site, same configuration Same heads, same zone names, same rules. An exception from one location means what it means at all of them, which is the whole point.
-
Mobile tower Sites with no services, or no permanence Coverage that follows the portfolio. A location being refitted, closed for a season or newly acquired gets the same standard without a capital project.
-
Fixed and pan-tilt-zoom heads Staffed locations Where a building exists to mount to, the permanent install is configured to the same standard as the towers — so the console does not care which kind of site it is looking at.

Common questions.
Yes. One trained ACS team monitors many sites at once from the operations centre. Operators verify alerts, intervene by on-site audio and coordinate with law enforcement, 24/7. Virtual coverage runs across Canada and the U.S.
With mobile defense towers. They need no permanent install and run on solar power with a 4-day runtime and 5G connectivity. Each carries 4K pan-tilt-zoom cameras, sirens, lights and AI detection, with live monitoring available on every unit.
Yes. Every site runs the same documented response: detect, verify, communicate, deter, escalate, document. One accountable team runs it, with one consistent set of reports across all locations.
No. Live monitoring and towers cover sites around the clock without a guard posted at each one. Where on-site presence is needed, guards and mobile patrols layer in.
Yes, where ACS patrols operate. Multi-site and portfolio operations run from one coordinated patrol plan, with each property's checks, contacts and escalation defined on its own.
Yes. ACS designs, installs and supports the CCTV behind every site. Coverage is planned for each location rather than bought off the shelf, so the same standard holds across the portfolio.
Every guard is individually licensed under Ontario's PSISA and screened before representing ACS. Operations carry comprehensive general liability coverage on every contract.
