About Us

Original Austin Logo

Austin Security began in 1993 as a one man operation when after ten years in the industry, company President Pat McNamara ventured out on his own. Operating out of his basement, Pat grew his business by knocking on doors in the Edmonton area, until he was able to lease an office space and hire employees to his team.

Over the years, Pats wife Annette provided support by assisting with the bookkeeping and together, began raising their three children; twins, Mitch and Liam and Daughter, Alyssa. While spending days and nights at the ice rink and the swimming pool, the McNamara’s continued to grow Austin Security throughout the city of Edmonton and area.

Austin Security has grown exponentially over the last two and a half decades, with a client list expanding across Canada, the US and even overseas. The success of the company’s growth, is attributed to their committed, dedicated, and caring employees. The open office environment is a collaborative space including; the president, reception, sales, service, parts, administration, installation and IT help desk, allowing everyone to be part of a quick solution for the client.

Live Video Monitoring was the recommended solution from Austin Security after numerous thefts and catalytic converter thefts in our yard. Shortly after the installation Austin identified a break-in as it was happening, the police were contacted right away with a detailed description of what was happening, and arrests were made. I would highly recommend Austin Security to anyone who has been experiencing similar issues. Curtis Dylke Sonic Coatings

Last night we called Austin Security for emergency help in our server room for problems unrelated to their systems or service. We knew Austin Security was a firm we could rely on with no notice for emergency help. At 6PM we messaged them for emergency help because we had a burning smell from our server room. We shut down all systems for safety as we didn't know what was causing the issue. We were effectively completely shut down. Austin immediately replied to our urgent request and promised to be onsite first thing in the AM. This AM, they diagnosed the problem, installed some loaner equipment and we were back up and running. Amazing service from Austin Security, especially since the related issue had nothing to do with their systems.

Have nothing but positive feedback for Austin Security and the security installation they did. We had selected TELUS previously, and it was a complete disaster - Austin installed a very comparably priced system with significant upside with respect to the gear they installed, the service they provided, and the end result.

I have used Austin security for many projects over the past several years and have always been very happy. We are using Austin again in our new space for security cameras and alarm system. The quality of work has been excellent and integration through new apps and technology was painless thanks to the support provided. Great service and friendly staff, I highly recommend this company!
