Compliance Meets Protection: Smart Security for Alberta Cannabis Facilities
Operating a cannabis facility in Alberta comes with more than the average set of security challenges. Strict Health Canada regulations, high-value inventory, and constant oversight from provincial and federal agencies mean your security system has to do more than just record video — it has to prove compliance every single day.
At Austin Security, we specialize in building and monitoring compliance-driven security systems for cannabis cultivation, production, and retail operations across Edmonton and beyond. Our smart monitoring and analytics technology keep you compliant, secure, and confident — without the complexity.
Security Built for Compliance
Under Health Canada’s Cannabis Act, licensed producers and retailers must maintain detailed surveillance coverage of all sensitive areas, record and retain footage for specified periods, and ensure that only authorized personnel have access to restricted zones.
Missing a compliance requirement can result in costly penalties or even license suspension — something no cannabis business can afford.
“In cannabis security, compliance isn’t optional — it’s mission critical. Our job is to make it effortless for owners to meet and exceed every standard.” — Austin Security
That’s why Austin Security designs each system around regulatory requirements first, then adds layers of technology that make day-to-day operations easier and safer.
Remote Monitoring That Never Sleeps
With live remote video monitoring, Austin Security’s trained operators watch your property 24/7 — detecting unusual activity in real time and responding before losses occur.
Whether it’s after-hours perimeter monitoring, motion detection in restricted grow zones, or unexpected access to product storage, our monitoring team can intervene immediately with alerts, live audio warnings, or direct police dispatch.
“Remote monitoring turns your security system from passive to proactive — stopping problems before they become violations or losses.”
Smart Analytics for Smarter Compliance
Beyond basic monitoring, our systems include AI-powered analytics that help you meet compliance requirements automatically.
These advanced tools can:
- Detect motion only in specific zones
- Send alerts for unauthorized access or loitering
- Track personnel and equipment movement
- Generate logs and reports for inspections
- Flag blind spots or failed cameras automatically
That means less manual work for your team — and greater assurance that your facility stays within compliance 24/7.
Protecting High-Value Inventory
Cannabis facilities face a unique risk profile: high-value product, limited access, and increasing theft attempts. Austin Security’s systems help prevent losses by combining real-time monitoring, secure access control, and layered video coverage — ensuring that your entire operation stays both compliant and protected.
