ACS security guards on post outside a Windsor restaurant storefront at night
Retail, Restaurants & Gas Stations

Security for stores, restaurants
and gas stations.

Loss-prevention guards on the floor, AI cameras over the entrances and lot, and live operators watching after close, across Windsor-Essex, under one PSISA-licensed provider.

The threat

A storefront is exposed
from open to close.

Public doors, cash on site, a forecourt and a parking lot, retail, food-service and fuel sites face loss during the day and break-in risk after dark, with staff often alone at the worst hours.

Shoplifting & loss

Product walking out the door, shift after shift.

After-hours break-ins

Empty building, forced entry, no one watching.

Loitering & drive-offs

Crowding at the entrance; fuel leaving unpaid.

Lot & late-night risk

Parking-lot incidents and staff alone at close.

The solution · on site

A licensed guard
where it deters most.

We assess the layout, map access vulnerabilities and foot-traffic patterns, then place a guard where presence actually changes behaviour, the floor, the entrance, the close. We don't guess. We plan.

  • Loss prevention

    Visible presence on the floor and at exits.

  • De-escalation first

    Loitering and disputes handled without disruption.

  • Closing support

    Staff aren't alone for the last hour and lock-up.

The solution · cameras

Cameras designed
like security.

Full-colour day and night, true colour in low light, not washed-out IR, so the detail that identifies someone survives. AI watches the entrances, forecourt and lot, and playback exports clean when you need it.

  • AI detection

    People, vehicle, loitering and intrusion alerts.

  • Full-colour day & night

    Identifying detail holds up in low light.

  • Evidence-ready playback

    Clean, exportable footage, found fast.

Commercial CCTV

The solution · after hours

Watched live
after you close.

When the doors lock, live trained operators keep watching, not automated software flagging motion. They verify the alert, speak down on site to deter, coordinate with law enforcement, and document the response.

  • Verify, then voice-down

    Operators confirm and intervene by on-site audio.

  • Coordinate with police

    A real person escalates a verified event.

  • Documented response

    Detect, deter, escalate, every step on record.

Virtual Security Guard

The solution · the lot

A tower over
the parking lot.

For the forecourt and lot, a mobile defense tower deploys fast with no permanent install, a 25-ft mast, 4K pan-tilt-zoom cameras, sirens and lights for active deterrence, backed by live virtual oversight around the clock at a fraction of the cost of a physical post.

The value

Prevention on the floor,
proof on the shelf.

Visible deterrence

Guards, cameras and a voice on site, risk that's seen before it acts.

Usable evidence

Full-colour, exportable footage that holds up when it's needed.

Fewer losses

Loss prevented on shift costs less than loss cleaned up after.

Safer staff

Support at close and a watch after hours, for staff and customers.
