Residential and Commercial Security Systems, Access Control, Video Surveillance System and Intercomscess Control

Kantech Cloud Hosting, DSC Alarms & ExacqVision Video – A Full-Stack Security Solution in Ontario

Introduction

In today’s security landscape, commercial buildings and facilities can no longer rely on disconnected or outdated systems. The modern standard demands robust, integrated solutions that are seamless to use, scalable for growth, and easy to manage remotely.

For building managers, property owners, and facility operators across Ontario, this means choosing a system that combines access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance into a single user-friendly platform. That’s exactly what SecurU delivers. With over 30 years of experience, this Ontario-based security integrator offers full-stack commercial protection by combining Kantech access control with Hattrix cloud hosting, DSC PowerSeries Neo and PowerSeries Pro alarms, and ExacqVision video surveillance, including Illustra smart cameras.

In this guide, we explore how SecurU’s integrated approach empowers property managers and site operators to secure every door, manage multiple sites with ease, and improve operational security using smart technologies.

Kantech Access Control with ioSmart Readers for Every Entry Point

Encrypted Smart Access to Every Critical Entry Point

Kantech access control systems, like the KT4 four-door controller and ioSmart card readers, bring secure, centralized control to any commercial environment. These readers, available in both proximity-only and keypad+proximity formats, offer AES-128 encryption for strong data protection and support two-factor authentication when needed.

This means only authorized personnel can access secure areas such as:

  • Perimeter gates and reception entries
  • IT and server rooms
  • Inventory and tool storage
  • Financial departments
  • Laboratories and R&D facilities

Each access attempt is logged through EntraPass software, giving administrators a clear audit trail and easy access to compliance reporting.

Expandable & Modular Design

Kantech’s access control isn’t limited to small offices or single buildings. The EntraPass ecosystem supports:

  • Anywhere from one to hundreds of doors
  • Doors on multiple locations/sites
  • Role-based access permissions
  • Temporary visitor passes
  • Time-based locking/unlocking
  • Custom schedules for departments or tenants

Whether you’re managing a multi-tenant business centre in Toronto or a growing industrial facility in the GTA, this system scales with your needs, without requiring a full rebuild or rip-and-replace upgrade.

Remote Management with EntraPassWeb and EntraPassGo for Mobile

Intuitive Interfaces Across Devices

With EntraPassWeb (client-based), EntraPassGo (mobile app), and a dedicated Windows client, SecurU offers flexibility in how your system is managed.

From any device, authorized users can:

  • Lock or unlock doors remotely
  • View real-time system statuses
  • Replay surveillance footage from integrated cameras
  • Manage users, credentials, and schedules
  • Set notifications for unusual activity (e.g., forced entry or door held open)

This level of visibility makes it simple to run a secure operation, even when managing properties in different cities or regions.

Built for Multi-Site Management

SecurU’s setup is ideal for businesses with multiple locations, such as:

  • College campuses with several buildings
  • Logistics companies with distribution sites
  • Franchise businesses with locations across Ontario
  • Large commercial real estate portfolios

By aggregating all entry points and alarms into one view, EntraPass allows for both centralized control and regional delegation. Local managers can be assigned access to their respective buildings, while a head office oversees all operations.

Say Goodbye to On-Site Servers

Traditional access control setups demand internal servers, VPNs, and IT oversight. This introduces cost, complexity, and risk.

Kantech cloud services hosted by our Canadian Top Leading MSP eliminates the overhead and lowers the total cost of ownership to our clients. EntraPass is delivered as a hosted service, with data securely managed in Tier-III Canadian data centres.

Key benefits include:

  • PIPEDA compliance for Canadian data privacy
  • Redundant backups and system failover
  • HTTPS-encrypted remote access
  • 24/7 monitoring and support
  • Zero downtime updates

Easily Add Sites or Doors

Need to add a new office location in Ottawa? Expanding your facility in Hamilton? With SecurU, adding new access points is as simple as connecting hardware and configuring settings in the cloud dashboard. No server upgrades, no IT headaches.

This makes it an ideal solution for fast-growing businesses that need to secure assets while scaling operations.

Integrated Intrusion Detection with DSC PowerSeries Neo & Pro

Alarm + Access in One

Many businesses manage intrusion and access as separate systems, requiring different credentials, control panels, and responses. SecurU solves that by integrating DSC PowerSeries intrusion alarms directly into the access control environment.

Benefits include:

  • Disarm alarms with a single card swipe
  • Arm via double-swipe during exit
  • No more PINs or clunky alarm keypads

This reduces false alarms and keeps your entire team on the same intuitive system.

Smart Event Automation

Through EntraPass automation rules, the system can:

  • Lock down all doors during a triggered alarm
  • Automatically arm after business hours
  • Bookmark video recordings at the moment of intrusion

This integrated response is especially useful for regulated industries, where detailed logs of entry, alarm, and video events are required for compliance audits.

ExacqVision Video Surveillance + Illustra Cameras

See Everything, Anytime

Video surveillance is the final pillar in a unified security system. With ExacqVision, you get:

  • Live camera views tied to access points
  • Instant playback based on door activity
  • Push alerts sent via email to mobile devices during events

And all of it managed within the same dashboard as your access and alarm systems. This means your team isn’t toggling between systems during emergencies or investigations.

Illustra Flex Gen4: Next-Gen IP Cameras

SecurU pairs ExacqVision with Illustra Flex Gen4 cameras, offering:

  • AI-based edge analytics (detects vehicles, people, loitering)
  • NDAA compliance and cybersecurity safeguards
  • Infrared night vision up to 50 metres
  • Rugged, vandal-resistant housing (IP66/IK10)

These cameras perform reliably across Ontario’s harsh winters and in varied lighting conditions. Features like image stabilization and wide dynamic range (WDR) ensure security teams can capture usable, actionable footage, every time.

Bonus Tools: Mobile Demos and Training Support

For clients who want to evaluate systems before committing, SecurU offers:

  • ExacqVision Mobile Demo Library
  • Live video walkthroughs of connected systems
  • In-person or virtual platform training for staff

This helps ensure staff feel comfortable using the platform from Day 1.
