A lot of questions surrounding Waterloo Regional Police registration this year. Trust me. We get it. It. Sucks. Waterloo Regional decided years ago that any home with an alarm system was to be registered as having an alarm system in order to receive prioritized response and one free false alarm response per year. As the […]
So, this is a huge topic. For such a small room, communal laundry rooms are a major source of income for a lot of our less honest community members. They are also a major source of expense for many of our building owners. And it’s getting worse. There are a few ways to address this […]
So. I feel like we’ve beaten the whole home automation thing into the ground for now. Maybe that’s because of the total immersion I’ve been experiencing for the past 2 months. It probably is.

I received a firm reminder this weekend on how important it is for someone to feel secure. Anything can happen, and sometimes protection is required. Not all home situations require police support. Sometimes a quick text or email can make us feel better. Other times having someone visit is enough. But when things get really […]
We’ve been around since the early eighties. I think we’ve beaten that to death. There are times I get tired of hearing it to so I promise you… I will try to not belabour the point too much from here out. Except for right now. Customer Service is an ever changing sector in businesses, because […]
