Local security, local response.
The approachable security tier from Wenner Group — packaged alarm systems, security cameras, and access control for custom homes through entry-level. Same-day quotes, ULC-listed monitoring dispatched from a local Canadian station, and a local team that's been here since 1945.
For high-end custom security integrated into a Crestron platform alongside lighting, AV, and climate, see Wenner luxury security.
What we install and monitor.
Most homes and businesses need a combination of these. We start with a site assessment, recommend what fits, and quote it before any work begins.

Why local matters for security.
Our security team, a local monitoring station
SmartSecure (Wenner Security Inc.) is our own security company — install, configuration, service, and the people who answer your call are us. Alarm monitoring itself is dispatched by a local Canadian ULC-listed station we partner with, with the appropriate certifications and licenses.
Faster response times
The local ULC-listed station we work with averages alarm-to-call in under 30 seconds. Most national companies measure response in minutes.
Three generations of accountability
Wenner has been on Vancouver Island since 1945. SmartSecure has been our security division for over a decade. We're not going anywhere — and our customers know our names.
Honest pricing
No long-term contracts that lock you in for five years. Month-to-month monitoring after the first year. Take your equipment with you if you move.
Prefer to talk to a human?
One number — 250.758.2231 — reaches the whole team. We use a virtual receptionist so we can stay focused on the work, but a real person is at the other end. Just tell them who you want.
- For SmartSecure Ask for Derek or Jordan, or simply say "security department".
- Already have a system with us? Ask for the technician you've worked with before — they'll be expecting your call.
- New to Wenner? Ask for Adam or say "Sales" — he'll point you to the right team for what you need.
If it's an active alarm event, the monitoring station handles it directly — they have your dispatch protocol on file and respond in under 30 seconds.
