Can staff enter for an early shift without sharing one alarm code?
Separate user codes and door access permissions may allow different hours for different people. Tell us which doors and shifts need access so we can confirm a suitable setup.

Security Cameras, Alarms & Door Access in Saint-Laurent
In Saint-Laurent, a shop may need to watch its stockroom while a warehouse needs a clear view of deliveries. A family home has a different priority: knowing who is at the door and what happens when nobody is home.
Pro Vision Security offers security cameras, alarm systems, 24/7 monitoring and door access systems for homes and businesses. We help you decide what to protect, who can enter and who should be called if an alarm goes off.
Tell us about your opening hours, deliveries and entrances. Those details help us plan a system around your day, rather than asking you to change your routine to suit the equipment.
Key takeaways
- Watch customer entrances, stockrooms and delivery doors without filming areas that do not need coverage.
- Give staff their own door access and remove it when someone leaves.
- Agree on who receives alarm calls after closing and who can attend the property.
- For a home, keep everyday tasks simple: arm the alarm, check a camera and manage household access.
Where should cameras go in a shop or warehouse?
Start with the places people and goods enter: the customer entrance, staff door, stockroom and delivery area. A camera showing the whole parking lot may not show enough detail to recognize someone at a door.
At a Saint-Laurent warehouse, check whether a parked truck, open loading door or stacked goods will block the view. For a shop in a shared plaza, confirm mounting permission and avoid pointing cameras into neighbouring premises.
Check images under the lighting used after closing, not just in daylight. Snow, headlights and shadows can change what a camera can see. Our Cameras & CCTV service covers camera planning and installation.
Services for staff access, alarms and checking your business remotely
Door access systems let you give each employee a card, code or other supported way to enter. You can set permitted hours and remove access without relying on a shared key. Learn about Access Control.
An alarm detects events such as an opened door or movement in a protected area. Professional monitoring follows an agreed response plan when a signal is received. Review Alarm Systems and 24/7 Monitoring to see how they work together.
If you manage an office and warehouse, Remote Management can help you check supported systems without driving between addresses. Confirm which tasks your equipment allows and who should be able to use them.
Video alert settings can help reduce unwanted notifications from passing traffic. Our Smart Video Analytics service explains the options; results depend on the cameras, lighting and settings.
What should happen when the last employee leaves?
Decide who checks the doors, arms the alarm and handles a late delivery. If a cleaner or another shift arrives later, arrange access that does not require leaving the whole building unprotected.
Keep an up-to-date call list with a backup contact. Discuss what happens if the first person does not answer, and confirm the monitoring service included in your agreement. Cameras alone do not mean that someone is watching live video.

Simple protection for Saint-Laurent homes and shared entrances
For a home, start with the front door, driveway and any less visible side or basement entrance. Choose controls that the people living there can use comfortably.
In a building with shared entrances, agree with the owner or building manager on installation and camera views. Protect the entrance without unnecessarily recording a neighbour's windows or private space.
If you already have cameras or an alarm, tell us the brand and model before your visit. We need to check compatibility before recommending what can be kept or replaced.
What to prepare before requesting a Saint-Laurent quote
Bring these details so the quote reflects how the property is used.
| Information to gather | Home or shared entrance | Shop, office or warehouse |
|---|---|---|
| Entrances | Front, side and basement doors | Customer, staff and delivery doors |
| Daily schedule | When the home is empty | Opening hours, shifts, cleaners and deliveries |
| People needing access | Household members and trusted visitors | Staff, temporary workers and managers |
| Alarm contacts | A primary contact and backup | People available after closing |
| Existing equipment | Alarm model, cameras and Internet connection | Equipment models, network details and landlord permissions |
What should your installation quote explain?
Ask for a list of what is included: equipment, wiring, setup, training and any ongoing monitoring charges. Confirm who will show you how to find a recording, add a user and change an alarm contact.
A delivery door used overnight needs a different plan from a locked office door. The quote should explain those differences in everyday language and identify anything that needs landlord approval.
To discuss your property, use Contact us or call (514) 317-1515. Include the property type, number of entrances and the problem you most want to solve.
Frequently asked questions
Will a camera still see the delivery door when a truck is parked?
Not necessarily. Check the camera view with a vehicle in its normal loading position. A different position or an additional view may be needed to see the door.
Does installing cameras include someone watching them all night?
No. Recording cameras and professional monitoring are different services. Confirm which alarm signals are monitored, whether video verification is included and who is contacted.
Can I remove an employee's door access when they leave?
An electronic door access system can let an authorized manager remove an individual user's permission. The exact steps depend on the equipment; access should be reviewed whenever staff roles change.
Can we keep our existing alarm or cameras?
Possibly. Share the brand, model and any access details you have. We need to check the condition, compatibility and ownership of the system before confirming what can be reused.
