STRUGGLING WITH CASH FLOW? WE CAN FIX THAT

Most security dealers don’t fail because they can’t sell. They struggle because of cash flow.

It’s a common story: you work hard to sign new clients, install systems, and build recurring revenue. But then you wait. And wait. And wait. Sometimes months go by before you see the money you earned. Meanwhile, your expenses don’t wait - your team, vehicles, marketing, and operations still need to be paid.

That cash flow gap can stall growth, kill momentum, and limit your ability to scale.

We’ve solved this problem for our dealers.

Weekly Funding. Real Cash Flow.

The Reed dealer program gives you access to quick, predictable weekly funding, so you can keep growing without the financial bottleneck.

Here’s what that means in real terms:

No more waiting months to get paid
Consistent cash flow to cover operations and reinvest in growth
Freedom to scale without constantly worrying about receivables
A Trusted Canadian Partner

For 25 years, Reed Security has been building recurring revenue and delivering trusted security solutions across Western Canada. We know the challenges dealers face because we’ve lived them. That’s why our program is designed to help you grow your RMR fast, with a strong partner behind you.

When you join the Reed dealer program, you get more than funding. You get:

Proven marketing and lead generation strategies
Local installation and service support
A trusted Canadian brand your clients will recognize
A partner who understands the business inside and out

Every year 30,000+ Security Geeks (oops...Gurus) attend the biggest security expo in North America - ISCWest. Charge!

We connected with suppliers to negotiate the best pricing and brought the latest smart home and smart business technology back for our Clients and Dealers. Would you rather deal with the Dinosaurs that never change or the People that believe in Innovation?

Our partner Johnson Controls had a very busy booth. Product lines that we professionally install include DSC, Qolsys, American Dynamics, Exacq and Kantech.

The biggest advantages of using these sister product lines are integration and one app to control your security solutions. True convenience!

COMING SOON: Reed Security has been approved to become a Kantech Entrapass Global Dealer.

Senior Account Executive, Geoff Assman (right), connected with Kantech Field Application Specialist, Tom Giftochristos, to review the new features in Kantech EntraPass v8.0 including mobile app enhancements and a redesigned web interface.

NEW: Reed Security now offers Kantech Hattrix cloud-based access control. No server or up front software costs + no backups required. Conveniently manage your locations from your smartphone or desktop. Requires high-speed internet at the secured premises. Contact us for pricing details.

Automatic Systems has a fence barrier solution that ties into keyless entry systems. Restrict traffic in and out of your compound. Check out the video.

We visited our partner HIKvision with our Brand Ambassadors, Rain and Meadow. What's more fun than demoing HIKCentral Management software on four 65" screens?

HikCentral is a video business intelligence solution that provides features such as facial recognition, face matching and searching and people counting. Businesses can improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

Using deep learning technology, AcuSense detects humans and vehicles and filters out unwanted false alarms.

When a human or vehicle is detected a strobe light and audible alarm are triggered - a huge deterrence for unwanted visitors.

Instant alerts can also be sent to your smartphone.

All objects with a temperature above absolute zero emit thermal radiation, even at low levels. This kind of radiation, invisible to the human eye, can be detected by thermal imaging sensors.

Thermal Cameras can produce images in the visual spectrum by detecting temperature differences between an object and its surroundings. The larger the difference, the bigger the contrast variety, making details visible. Thermal cameras can be used for applications in more challenging environments to detect people and fire.

Our partner Avigilon released ACC 7 video management software featuring Focus of Attention, a cutting-edge user interface for live video monitoring. It uses AI-powered self-learning analytics and Unusual Motion Detection technologies to help ensure critical events don't go unnoticed.

Over 5 million people trust ALARM.COM installation partners such as Reed Security to protect their homes and businesses.

Alarm.com's video analytics engine provides an intelligent new layer of security and awareness for home and business owners.
