Cambridge Security Company for Homes, Shops & Industrial Sites

Cambridge is really three communities in one: Galt, Preston and Hespeler, joined by fast-growing areas in between. JR Security Solutions installs security systems in Cambridge for detached homes and townhouses, downtown storefronts, and the industrial, manufacturing and logistics properties near Highway 401. Every system starts with a free on-site assessment and a custom estimate built around how your property is actually used. Founded in 2020, we’re open daily 9am–9pm.

Security for Cambridge Homes, Storefronts and Industrial Sites Coverage for Every Part of Cambridge

A heritage storefront on Main Street in downtown Galt, a bungalow in Preston, a new build in Hespeler and a warehouse with a fenced yard all need very different camera plans. For homes, we focus on entrances, driveways, side yards and package deliveries. For commercial and industrial sites, we cover loading docks, yards, fence lines and parking areas, with recording you can search quickly when something happens after hours.

Built for Cambridge's Industrial and Commercial Base

Cambridge is one of Waterloo Region’s main manufacturing and logistics centres. Plants, distribution centres and trades yards fill the Cambridge Business Park, the Boxwood area and the corridors along Highway 401, Townline Road, Franklin Boulevard and Eagle Street, and many of them run more than one shift. That changes how a security system should work:
  • Cameras that cover docks, trailer parking, yards and fence lines, with lenses chosen for long distances and recording you can search by time.
  • 24/7 monitored alarm systems with zones that follow your shifts, so the warehouse can be armed while the office stays open.
  • Access control by shift, with temporary credentials for contractors and gate entry for drivers.
  • Video intercoms at the shipping door or gate, so staff can see who’s there before opening up.
  • Networking between buildings, so every camera and door reader stays connected.

Downtown Galt, Preston and Hespeler

Each of Cambridge’s three historic cores has its own character. Downtown Galt has 19th-century stone buildings along Main and Water Streets and new condo buildings near the Grand River. Preston’s King Street has older storefronts with apartments above. Hespeler Village’s Queen Street mixes shops with older homes.

For these buildings we mount cameras discreetly under awnings and in recessed doorways and run cable inside wherever possible. Above-shop apartments and small multi-unit buildings often get a video intercom and keypad entry on the shared door. If your building has heritage designation, check with the City of Cambridge before changing the façade.

Homes from Galt to Blair

Cambridge homes range from century brick and stone near the rivers in Galt and Preston to newer subdivisions in Hespeler, Fiddlesticks, Southwood and Blair. Older homes usually need cable routed through basements and attics, plus sensors on basement doors and windows. Newer homes often need a video doorbell, a driveway camera and a rear camera for yards that meet a trail or woodlot. Many households commute along the 401, so phone alerts, app arming and smart home automation to switch lights and locks remotely are popular add-ons. For a monitored system built around the house, see home security in Cambridge.

Security Systems in Cambridge for Business and Home

Commercial Security Cameras

Manufacturers, distributors and contractors in Cambridge's industrial areas often have large footprints and activity around the clock. We design camera layouts for docks, yards, entrances and equipment storage, and you can view multiple cameras, or multiple buildings, from your phone or a monitoring station in your office. For more ideas, read our guide to protecting your business from theft in Cambridge.

Access Control & Video Intercoms

When you have multiple shifts, contractors and visitors, keys stop working as a security plan. Assign fobs, cards or mobile credentials by person, door and schedule, see who entered and when, and cancel a lost credential instantly. Video intercoms let reception or the yard office see and speak with visitors before opening a door or gate.
