It's still unclear how cannabis will be distributed (i.e. government run stores, pharmacies or private shops, etc.) and what requirements will need to be fulfilled before a retail store or grow op can be started, but what we can foresee is an increase in the number of legal marijuana retailers and growers.
In fact, even without marijuana being legal, a Spokesperson for the Vancouver-based Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries responded, “It’s a little hard to keep up” and gave a best guess when asked how many dispensaries are in Canada (both legal and illegal).
If you’re planning on entering the legal marijuana business, or you're already licensed and operating, then you need a top quality commercial security system that you can depend on.
Licensed marijuana grow ops and retail stores have very specific security needs. They're high-risk targets, and often companies providing traditional security solutions are either unwilling or unable to provide the all-encompassing security solutions that this industry needs.
With our fully integrated security system, you will benefit from the best physical security system for your perimeter fences, windows, and doors, as well as gain access to our technically advanced verified video and audio monitoring system that police respond to with priority.
Our verified SonaVision technology is a remotely monitored video solution that is considerably superior to conventional CCTV alarm systems.
Conventional CCTV just records activity, at best providing you with an after the fact video of a guy wearing a ski mask (unidentifiable), but more often provides nothing at all, since criminals are well aware that they can remove a digital recorder or damage it enough that there is no recording. Sonitrol CCTV can be stored off site in the "cloud".
With our integrated SonaVision technology, this isn’t possible. If our alarm system is tripped during a break-in or if there's an armed robbery, we can stream the live SonaVision video directly to the responding Police units, so they're ready and prepared to catch the criminals in action.
Additionally, Sonitrol’s active audio continuously monitors the ambient sounds in a marijuana grow-op facility and when break-ins are attempted, the audio recordings are listened to by our monitoring station, and when verified, the Police are informed of a crime in progress.
Sonitrol security solutions also include integrated access control to securely manage entry. This ensures that only those who are authorized to enter are able to get in. As an additional layer of protection, for your marijuana operation, our systems record all authorized entries and unauthorized entry attempts.
We have years of experience protecting high-risk commercial facilities like legal marijuana retailers and growers. Even, professional thieves know our brand, so they avoid us!
Sonitrol has been protecting beer and liquor stores and distribution centres for years let us help you design your verified integrated security system so you don't experience a break-in or armed robbery.
In fact, many professional criminals will not even attempt to rob or break into a facility protected by Sonitrol because they know the complexity and risk that our level of security brings them.
They know how our verified security systems will catch them, how difficult it is to beat our alarms, and how Police across North America give a prioritized response to all verified Sonitrol calls for crimes in progress.
