Mobile Alarm Response in Vancouver
It’s 2:47AM. An alarm blares inside a Mount Pleasant office. A warehouse in Richmond flashes red on the monitor. A condo unit in Coal Harbour registers water leakage. Property managers can’t always leave bed. Police might not treat it as urgent. Someone has to show up fast.
That’s where Secured Property Group comes in. Our mobile alarm response services in Vancouver give property managers, strata councils, and businesses peace of mind when the city doesn’t sleep.
Why Alarm Response Matters
An alarm system without a response plan is just noise. Here’s the risk:
​
-
Break-ins & theft: Downtown shops or East Van storage units can be cleaned out before morning. Our security guard services reduce this risk.
-
False alarms: Building systems glitch all the time. Resetting them at 3AM isn’t your job — but it is ours.
-
Property damage: Burst pipes, fire alarms, and power failures don’t wait until office hours. When needed, we coordinate with our handyman services to fix what triggered the call.
-
Tenant safety: Strata councils and building managers carry liability when alarms go unanswered. Our night security patrols keep common areas under watch.
​
Every missed alarm is a gamble. SPG takes that weight off your shoulders.

Local Knowledge, Local Advantage
​
Vancouver isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our response strategies adapt to neighborhood challenges:
-
West End & Coal Harbour condos — noise complaints, fire panels, elevator lockups.
-
Kitsilano & Main Street retail — late-night break-ins, storefront glass damage.
-
Richmond & Burnaby warehouses — trespassing, copper theft, shipping bay access issues.
-
Downtown offices — system glitches, HVAC failures, power outages.
We’ve been serving Metro Vancouver since 2008. We know the city’s rhythms and trouble spots, from wet fall nights that track mud into lobbies to summer festivals that bring late-night crowds near retail zones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover alarms outside of regular office hours?
Yes. Most of our calls come between 11PM and 6AM. We’re built for overnight response, backed by our night security patrols.
How fast can a guard get to my property?
Response times depend on the location, but our mobile security guard units are placed across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and the North Shore to minimize delays.
​
What happens if the alarm is false?
Our guard still inspects the property, resets systems where possible, and files a full report so you’re never left in the dark. We often flag janitorial or handyman issues if they contributed.
​
Can you escalate to police or fire if needed?
Yes. If we identify a genuine emergency, we coordinate directly with first responders and secure the property until help arrives.
Do you only cover Vancouver?
No. We also serve Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and surrounding Metro areas.
Can you handle non-intrusion alarms?
Yes. Beyond burglar alarms, we respond to fire alarms, water leak alerts, HVAC issues, and environmental sensors.
Can alarm response be paired with other services?
Absolutely. Many property managers combine mobile response with night security, concierge, or janitorial support for complete coverage.
