The Role of Technology in Modern Condo Security Systems in Delta

Condos throughout the Lower Mainland use plenty of modern technology in security systems. While British Columbia is not the province with the most crime in Canada, BC is also not the safest province, either. The Lower Mainland is known for relatively higher crime rates compared to much of the province for various reasons, however, Delta, is one of the safest areas on the Lower Mainland.

Nevertheless, Delta condos employ a variety of features in security systems, and what is used is going to vary from one condo community or strata to another. In today’s blog article, we are going to look at how technology may be used in modern condo security systems.

Video

First, video cameras may be used extensively, and these cameras keep getting better as far as picture quality. The video feed might cover exterior areas, parking lots, doors, as well as lobbies or interior hallways.

The feed may be taped and may also be available to be viewed live by security persons watching it all the time. It might be possible to see the video from on someone’s phone or laptop. In addition, artificial intelligence may be used to analyze the video on an ongoing basis for anything unusual.

Alerts

Property managers or homeowners might be receiving alerts for breaches of doors or windows, or unusual activity, and they may be able to access video feed or contact security personnel.

Automation and Smart Features

Individual residences may have smart features that allow for televisions or lights to be turned on and off to mimic the resident being home and dissuade potential intruders. There may be automation of window blinds. Depending on how old or new the multi-family residence is, there could be many modern features available for automation.

Centralized Monitoring

There may be automatic monitoring of all kinds of sensors, such as those for smoke, fire, or water damage, as well as the usual window and door sensors. These may all be monitored in one central place with a system. There may also be a live person monitoring these things in a central location and/or patrolling the grounds.

What is happening in Delta condo security systems really depends on the individual condo development. However, there is great technology available today for security systems in condos.
