Areas of Your Property Where You May Be Missing Security Camera Coverage

Originally posted on 30 September 2025

When it comes to protecting your business or property in Toronto and Southern Ontario, basic alarms and outdated cameras are no longer enough. Criminals today are smarter, faster, and more determined. They know where obvious cameras are located, they understand how to bypass traditional systems, and they actively search for blind spots.

That’s why modern security systems in Toronto must go beyond the basics. A comprehensive solution that combines commercial security cameras, burglar alarm systems, CCTV monitoring, and access control ensures your business is always one step ahead of potential threats.

At Engineered Alarm Solutions Inc., we specialize in designing and installing complete business security solutions that protect your assets, staff, and reputation. Here’s where most property owners underestimate their risks—and how we can help you close those security gaps.

Inventory Rooms and Warehouses: Stop Theft Before It Starts

Inventory rooms are prime targets for both internal and external theft. Whether you store electronics, pharmaceuticals, or retail goods, these spaces must be actively monitored.

Example: An electronics retailer loses a single laptop from its storage area. Without commercial security cameras in Toronto monitoring the access points and inside the room, there’s no evidence of who took it—or when. That single loss can repeat overtime, costing thousands of dollars.

Installing cameras in and around inventory rooms creates accountability, deters theft, and provides critical video evidence for investigations or insurance claims.

Docking Bays and Shipping Areas: Secure Deliveries & Outgoing Shipments

Loading docks are busy, high-traffic zones and a natural entry point for both goods and potential criminals. They’re also where disputes often arise.

Scenario: A supplier claims they dropped off 20 packages, but only 18 are recorded in your system. Without surveillance, it’s your word against theirs. With strategically placed cameras, you can verify deliveries, track activity, and protect your bottom line.

Parking Lots: Reduce Crime & Improve Safety

Parking lots are common crime zones for vehicle break-ins, catalytic converter theft, and vandalism. Without proper monitoring and lighting, these crimes are hard to investigate.

By installing security cameras in Toronto at key angles—along with strobe lights, motion-activated lighting, sirens, and outdoor speakers—you transform your lot from a criminal’s easy target into a secure, protected environment.

Lunchrooms and Common Areas: Protect Staff & Property

Employee break rooms and common areas are often overlooked, but they can be hotspots for theft, misconduct, or unauthorized access.

With clearly posted surveillance and compliant camera placement, you create a professional, respectful environment that discourages inappropriate behavior while protecting staff belongings.

Reception and Waiting Areas: First Impressions & First Line of Defense

Reception areas and lobbies are where your business meets the public. Monitoring these spaces lets you:

  • Track visitor activity
  • Detect suspicious behavior
  • Maintain a log of everyone entering or leaving
  • Protect staff from aggressive or difficult guests

It’s not just about safety—it’s also about professionalism and accountability.

Rear Entrances and Emergency Exits: Close Overlooked Blind Spots

Secondary doors and emergency exits are often ignored during camera installations, but criminals know this—and use them. Monitoring these areas prevents unauthorized access and ensures compliance with safety regulations.

Server Rooms and IT Closets: Secure Your Digital Assets

Your data is just as valuable as your physical property. Server rooms and IT closets should always have restricted access and continuous surveillance.

With CCTV systems and access control, you can prevent tampering, theft, or sabotage, and ensure your business operations remain protected.
