As the largest single provider of security in Northern Ontario, True Steel has provided the most modern security solutions for over 35 years.
When it comes to your home or business’ security, Kevin Buckland, True Steel’s General Manger, knows that being proactive is best.
“It is much better to consider security needs and invest in security to prevent a break in and the consequences that come with it, rather than reacting to a break in after the fact and putting a system in place to prevent future ones,” he advises. “A lot of stress and anxiety can come with the feeling of violation that accompanies a break in. It can also be more expensive to put a system in place after the fact, as you will likely have a significant deductible to pay on an insurance claim. Then there are the sentimental items you lose that may have little financial value, but huge emotional value, such as keepsakes from parents or grandparents.”
Today’s security solutions provide more than peace of mind. They are convenient and digitally integrated to provide you with complete control.
“You can grant access to some people around the clock, and others only during certain hours,” Kevin explains. “You can get activity alerts or notifications sent to you even when the alarm is not armed. One example is a contact on the back shipping door that can send you a text when it is opened, along with a video clip of who opened it. You can be notified if a system has not been armed by a certain time. You can use your smart phone to look in on video to determine if a household member left and simply forgot to arm the system. If they are gone, you can arm it remotely, turn off the lights, turn down the furnace, and lock the dead bolts in the doors. When leaving you can enact an away scene at the touch of a button on your phone – with a single command your lights can turn off, the thermostat can adjust, the door can lock, the garage can close, and the security system can be armed. Security systems have become complete home and business automation systems.”
In addition to home and business security, True Steel also has PERS (personal emergency response system) solutions that help those with limited mobility live more independently.
Kevin notes, “You worry about your loved ones, who may be vulnerable to a fall or other event while alone; you can’t be with them 24 hours a day. Knowing they have a pendant they can hit to call for help or that automatically detects falls, or even better – a system of motion detectors and contacts that will automatically call for help should something happen – is truly a game changer for caregivers. Even though your loved ones may tell you they are fine and not to worry, the fact is that they are likely a little worried about being alone and having an incident. They too will feel more comfortable knowing that help will be on the way if they need it. Our PERS division is called Helpline and they do a fantastic job of assessing the needs of families and offering the system that will best suit their requirements.”
The average industry experience of a True Steel technicians is over 20 years. In addition to products, True Steel provides education and information about the solution you choose, they install it (no third party installers), and they do their own monitoring.
“We handle everything. You know we are going to be here for you no matter what you need,” Kevin says.
True Steel is not just another security company. Each interaction is based on your needs and solutions for your home, business, or wellbeing.
“Quite simply, we care!” assures Kevin. “We’re not just looking to throw another security system in. We are privately owned and local. We live in the communities we serve. We are your neighbours. We are very engaged with our communities, contributing to nearly 40 charities each and every year.”
He concludes, “Our approach is to educate our prospects about what security can do and what it cannot do. We feel if we do this correctly, then the client will be in a great position to determine if they want security or not, and if they do, exactly what it is they want. Our approach is comfortable. No pressure tactics from us! Assessments and quotes are free with no obligation to buy.”
