Multi-Unit Security Systems

Multi-Unit Security Systems in Ontario

Stellar Security provides multi-unit security systems in Ontario for apartment buildings, condominiums, multi-unit residential properties and other buildings with multiple occupants or access points.

Multi-unit properties can require security coverage across shared entrances, hallways, parking areas, common spaces and exterior areas.

Security systems can be designed around the property’s layout and the areas requiring surveillance, controlled access or additional security.

Security Systems Designed for Multi-Unit Properties

Every multi-unit property has different security requirements.

A smaller building may require coverage around the main entrance and parking area, while a larger property may require cameras and access control throughout multiple entrances and common areas.

Security planning can consider:

  • Main entrances
  • Lobby areas
  • Hallways
  • Parking areas
  • Garages
  • Side entrances
  • Building exits
  • Common areas
  • Storage areas
  • Mail areas
  • Exterior doors
  • Other access points

The appropriate system depends on the property’s layout and security requirements.

Multi-Unit Security Cameras

Security cameras can provide visual coverage around important areas of a multi-unit property.

Depending on the building, cameras may be positioned around:

  • Main entrances
  • Lobby areas
  • Parking lots
  • Parking garages
  • Side entrances
  • Building exits
  • Hallways
  • Common areas
  • Exterior doors
  • Other important access points

Camera placement should account for viewing angles, lighting, building layout and the areas requiring surveillance.

  • Monitor multiple areas
  • Access supported remote viewing
  • Review activity around important locations

A centralized recording system can be useful when a property has multiple cameras across different entrances and common areas.
