A Trusted Security Systems Company in Montreal

Sting Security is a security systems company based at 1200 McGill College Avenue in downtown Montreal. Our technicians design, install and support alarm systems, security cameras and access control for houses, condos, apartments, offices, retail stores and commercial buildings across the island of Montreal and Laval.

Every Security System Starts From Your Property.

A two-bedroom condo needs a different layout than a warehouse with three loading docks. We combine intrusion detection, video surveillance and real-time notifications in one system. Then we connect it to a central station that monitors it around the clock.

You get one security provider for the whole job. Same team. Sting handles the quote, the security system installation, the training and the customer service afterward, so there is no hand-off between an alarm system company and a separate monitoring service.

Large home security providers often route you through call centres and long procedures. Sécurité Sting, based in Montréal, gives you the personalized service of a local alarm system supplier with the monitored security of a large network.

Comparing alarm system companies? The difference shows up after the sale, in the after-sales service.

Licensed RBQ Installer Trusted by Élections Canada and Starbucks

The Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) licenses Sting Security under licence number 5762-6434-01. That licence covers the installation work our technicians perform in Quebec homes and commercial spaces. It is public.

Alarm System Montreal: Intrusion Detection and 24/7 Monitoring

A Sting alarm system in Montreal detects an intruder at a door or window and sounds the siren. It sends the alarm signal to a monitoring centre at the same time. Operators at the central station, also called the central office, handle every alarm and can dispatch emergency services during break-ins, a fire or a flood. Sting connects your system to monitoring stations that stay staffed day and night.

24/7 monitoring is part of every plan. Sting systems stay operational if your internet connection drops, and the control panel keeps a battery backup for a power outage. A wireless alarm system installs without opening walls. That keeps the work clean in older Montreal homes and finished basements, where running wires is costly. No phone line is needed, and no landline either. The panel reaches the monitoring station over the internet and the LTE cellular network.

Qolsys IQ Panel with Door Contacts, Window Sensors and Motion Detectors

The Qolsys IQ Panel sits at the centre of each Sting alarm system. This smart control panel uses a touchscreen to arm and disarm the system and show sensor status. It doubles as a smart home hub. Z-Wave security devices connect to the same screen.

Around the panel, each security alarm uses security sensors chosen for your floor plan:

  • Door contacts on every exterior door and the garage entry
  • Window sensors on ground-floor and basement windows
  • Motion detectors in hallways and main living areas, where an intrusion detector catches intruders who get past a door
  • A glass breakage detector near patio doors and large windows
  • A smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector on each floor, so a fire alarm reaches the central station
  • Water leak sensors near the water heater and washing machine

Each sensor reports to the panel. If one goes offline or its battery runs low, the panel flags it, and tamper protection alerts you if anyone opens a sensor or the panel.

Security Cameras and Video Surveillance Systems

Security cameras show you what triggered an alarm. Sting installs an indoor camera, an outdoor camera or a full set as part of video surveillance systems for homes and businesses. Live video and recorded clips, kept in cloud video storage, are available from your phone. These surveillance cameras support remote monitoring from anywhere.

Motion detection starts each recording. You get a short clip instead of hours of video monitoring footage. For businesses, we also design commercial security camera systems that cover entrances, cash areas and parking lots. Cameras can be added at installation or later.

Video Doorbell, Smart Locks and Home Automation

A video doorbell shows who is at the front door and lets you talk to them from anywhere. Our smart video doorbell installation connects the doorbell camera to the same app as your alarm.

Smart locks replace keys with codes. You can open the door for a contractor and lock it again once they leave. Home automation adds lights, a smart thermostat and a smart garage door to the same system. Arm the alarm at night and the lights downstairs turn off with it. This smart home system stays secondary to the alarm: security comes first.

Security Solutions for Homes and Businesses

Sting builds two lines of security solutions on the same Alarm.com platform. One covers residential properties. The other is a commercial security system line for offices, stores and warehouses. Both include professional installation and 24/7 monitoring, and both run on the same smart security systems.

Serving Montreal, Laval and the Greater Montreal Area

Sting Security installs alarm systems and security systems across Montreal and surrounding regions. We are the installer and the monitoring company. One team provides the security services behind each security system Montreal homeowners choose, and behind the alarm systems Montreal businesses run at several sites. Same people, same number.

Every Montreal alarm system we install gets that local support. As a security system company with an office downtown, we cover Downtown Montreal, Old Montreal, the Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont, Verdun, Griffintown, Saint-Laurent and Anjou. Across the river, our technicians install every type of alarm system in Laval.

Professional Installation with No DIY Hassle

Skip the complexity of setting up your system yourself. A professional alarm installer from Sting places each sensor where it detects reliably and avoids false alarms.

DIY kits often fail at the details. A motion detector aimed at a heating vent creates false alarms. So does a door contact on the wrong side of the frame. Our certified technicians handle installation and configuration so everything works from day one. Self-installation kits leave that testing to you.

Control Everything from the Mobile App

The Alarm.com mobile app controls your entire Sting system from your phone. You can arm or disarm the alarm, view live video from your cameras, open a door and check every sensor, whether you are at work in downtown Montreal or travelling outside Canada.

The app and the control panel run on the same platform. Change a setting on your phone and the panel shows it. Connectivity between the two runs over the internet and the cellular network.

Real-Time Notifications, Remote Disarm and Access Control

Real-time notifications tell you when a door opens, motion is detected or the system is armed. You choose which events trigger an alert, so a delivery at noon does not wake you at night.

If someone triggers a false alarm, you can remotely disarm the system from the app. Businesses use the same app for access control systems. An access control system grants employee access by badge, RFID card or mobile credential and blocks unauthorized access, with a log of who entered and when. Door locks on every site can be managed from one screen.

Home Alarm Systems and Monitoring FAQ for Montreal

Montreal homeowners and business owners often ask us about home alarm systems, monitoring and installation. Short answers from our team below.

How much does a Sting system cost in Montreal?

The cost depends on the equipment, features and monitoring plan you choose. Sting offers monthly plans, billed per month, that typically include professional installation, equipment and 24/7 monitoring. This guide explains how much a home alarm system costs and what ongoing fees to expect.

Is 24/7 alarm monitoring included?

Yes. Every Sting plan includes 24/7 professional monitoring through a central station. Operators respond to each alarm signal and contact you, then emergency services if needed. Alarm monitoring is part of the plan. Unlike self-monitored kits, every Sting alarm service is pro-monitored.

Does my system keep working without Wi-Fi?

Yes. Wi-Fi powers mobile access, notifications and video streaming. Sting systems are designed to remain operational if your internet connection is interrupted, so your home security system keeps protecting you.

Can I install my own system, or do I need professional installation?

Some systems can be installed yourself, but professional installation ensures every sensor is configured and tested. Sting handles installation, setup and testing so your system works from day one. Read more about installing a home alarm system yourself versus hiring a pro.
