A TELSCO security specialist will work with you to understand the nuances of your business and design a system unique to your application.
How much does a security system cost for a business?

Are business security systems tax deductible?
Security systems are tax deductible. A security system may also make you eligible for discounts from your insurance provider.
What is the best security system for a small business in Edmonton?
There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution. TELSCO offers customizable systems to address your specific needs and budget. We recommend a free consultation to discuss your security concerns and receive expert recommendations.
How do I choose a security system for my Edmonton-based business?
Consider factors like:
- Your business type and needs: Retail, office, property management, etc.
- Entry points and perimeter security: Doors, windows, fencing, etc.
- Desired monitoring level: 24/7 professional or self-monitored.
- Budgetary considerations: Equipment, installation, and monitoring costs.
TELSCO offers a free security assessment to guide you through the process.

How does a business security system work to protect Edmonton businesses from local threats?
TELSCO business security systems typically include:

Installation and Maintenance
How long does it take to set up a new system?
The exact timeline of a new system setup will depend largely on the amount of hardware being installed. As a general rule, most commercial security installations are completed over a period of multiple days, during which technicians are mindful to minimize downtime as much as possible.
Do I need wifi to connect to the security system?
For Video Enhanced Alarm Monitoring, a high-speed internet connection (not necessarily wifi) is required. Wifi may be used in some cases for supplementary cameras or a backup communication source for alarms, but this need will be assessed and mentioned during an onsite consultation.
What are the best cameras to use for monitoring?
The best camera for each application is based on what job the camera will be doing, and what it is expected to see. Some cameras trigger alarms, whereas others are used to verify or support alarms. The location (indoor/outdoor), lighting conditions, distance to the target, and price point will all be considered when selecting the best camera.
Which is the most reliable alarm system for businesses?
The most reliable alarm systems incorporate video cameras that can be seen by operators when an alarm occurs. By accessing a live video feed, operators can instantly see what has caused the alarm – ensuring you get the best and fastest response every time.
How do you maintain a security system?
TELSCO offers comprehensive Service Assurance Plans, as well as optional annual inspections for our security solutions.
Our comprehensive service assurance plans cover the cost of any parts and labor required to maintain peak functionality and ensure your system is fully maintained without any surprise expenses.
In addition to onsite technical maintenance, we recommend testing your alarm system once per month.
