TELSCO vs. Austin Security: Choose the End-to-End Service Provider

TELSCO provides complete end-to-end security. One local team manages everything from setup to 24/7 Edmonton-based monitoring. Austin Security specializes in temporary rentals like CCTV trailers, often acting as a dealer for outside technology platforms rather than owning the entire monitoring process.

Why Edmonton Businesses Choose TELSCO over Austin Security

Total Accountability
Austin Security acts as a middleman between your business and a third-party monitoring services. This can lead to a gap where the people watching your cameras are not connected to the technician who installed the system. TELSCO operates an integrated monitoring center within our Edmonton office.

Permanent Installs
Austin Security leads in mobile CCTV trailers and construction site rentals. Brick-and-mortar office or retail locations require long-term system integration. TELSCO spent over five decades perfecting permanent commercial security and fire panel monitoring.
