During the pandemic, with offices shut because of various curfews and restrictions, companies had their staff getting as much of their work as they could from home. Additionally, there were many other changes in the ways they got through their work. People were making changes to their homes so they could continue working remotely and would need a room in the house out of which they could work.

Purchasing a security system is not exactly a straightforward process. It involves understanding highly technical terms that are difficult to interpret if you don’t have any prior knowledge of the security camera industry. Moreover, many home security systems now double as smart home hubs, centralizing controls for lights, thermostats, locks, and more within one app on your smartphone. Suddenly, your safety becomes an overwhelming and time-consuming process filled with jargon.

We would like to thank all our customers for using our services over the past year.

In case there was any doubt, we’re living in the golden age of technology development. In the past couple of decades, we’ve gone from relying on corded phones for the bulk of our communication to tiny computers in our pockets that are capable of dozens of simultaneous communication functions. If smartphones were one of the major tech developments of the 2000s, the next big step would be the development of smart homes.

Meet John Waddell, is a service and installation technician at Colonnade Security Inc. John started his career with us eleven years ago and has a bright future ahead.

Do you have or do you know someone that has a security system made by Interlogix? Interlogix was a world leader in security products and wireless devices. Unfortunately, they shut down their security alarm product line in 2019. Many customers are unaware of this situation until a service issue arises, and then they are told they need to upgrade their entire alarm system to a new product line.

Over the past few years, many Telco companies have increased their service rates. So, for customers to have a basic phone line service it will cost about $80.00 per month or more.
