The Advantages and Disadvantages of Telus Business Security

When it comes to protecting your business, you’ve got one shot to get it right. A half-baked commercial security system won’t cut it - it’s like locking your front door but leaving the windows wide open.

You need a solution that works, not one that looks good on paper but crumbles when tested. Telus Business Security is often marketed as a go-to option for commercial security, boasting low costs and customizable features.

Telus might tick a few boxes, when it comes to actually stopping crime and protecting your business, it doesn’t measure up.

In this blog, we’ll break down the supposed advantages of Telus Business Security, expose its flaws, and show you why Sonitrol is the only real choice if you’re serious about protecting your business.

The Advantages of Telus Business Security

1. It’s Cheap

One of Telus’s biggest selling points is its affordability. On the surface, the low cost might seem like a great deal, especially for smaller businesses looking to keep expenses down. However, this low price comes at a cost - namely, the reliability and effectiveness of the system itself.

Telus Business Security’s affordability is largely due to its reliance on basic motion sensors and cameras, which are insufficient for deterring or catching criminals. Let’s be real… a cheap solution that doesn’t protect your business is no solution at all.

2. Customization is Easy

Telus offers a range of customization options, allowing you to tailor the system to your needs. From cameras to motion sensors and app-based controls, there’s flexibility in how the system is set up.

While this level of customization is appealing, it’s important to remember that even the best-configured Telus system won’t address the critical gaps in its technology.

3. It’s Enough to Satisfy Your Insurance

For many business owners, meeting insurance requirements is a priority. Telus Business Security can check that box. But what happens when a break-in occurs?

Insurance can help cover losses after the fact, but it won’t prevent a crime from happening in the first place. A security system’s true value lies in its ability to stop incidents before they escalate - not just to meet minimum requirements.

The Disadvantages of Telus Business Security

1. It Won’t Stop Crime, It Will Simply Record it

Telus Business Security’s systems are reactive, not proactive. Cameras and motion sensors alone might capture footage of a crime, but, with professional criminals, they don’t play much of a role in its prevention. They know they can act quickly, grab what they want, and leave before anyone responds to an alarm.

2. It’s Not Verified

One of the most significant flaws in Telus Business Security is the lack of verified alarm capabilities. Most alarms from their system rely on basic motion detection, which can be easily triggered by false alarms like animals, wind, or even shadows.

Verified alarms, like those offered by Sonitrol, use real-time audio or video verification to determine whether an alarm is legitimate. This ensures faster police response times and dramatically reduces false alarms. In fact, many police departments across North America aren’t even responding to unverified alarms anymore.

3. It Relies on Motion Sensor Technology, Which Has Blind Spots

Motion sensors are limited by their design. They can’t cover every angle, and they’re prone to blind spots that criminals can exploit. Sonitrol’s verified audio intrusion technology provides comprehensive coverage of your business, ensuring no area of your property is left unprotected.

4. It Won’t Scare off Crime

The best security solutions don’t just respond to threats; they deter them. Criminals know that some brands, like Sonitrol, mean business. They’re less likely to target a property with a recognized and proven security system. Unfortunately, Telus doesn’t have the same reputation, and criminals know how to bypass its systems.

Why You Should Invest in a Verified Security Solution Like Sonitrol

Let’s cut through the noise. Most alarm companies are stuck in the past, selling outdated systems that are riddled with false alarms, blind spots, and empty promises. Telus is no different.

They’ll talk a big game - like other alarm companies - but when the chips are down, their systems won’t protect your business.

Sonitrol, on the other hand, is in a league of its own. We don’t just claim to be the best - we prove it.

What Makes Sonitrol Different?
