The definitive solution to stop chronic parkade break-ins in Surrey strata buildings is proactive live video monitoring. Unlike passive cameras or guards, this system actively detects, verifies, and deters criminals with live voice-downs before they can damage property, break into storage lockers, or steal from vehicles.
If you're on a strata council in Surrey, you know the frustration. You've upgraded the lighting, installed a new gate, and posted warning signs, yet the reports of smashed car windows, stolen bikes, and pilfered storage lockers keep coming. Chronic parkade crime feels like an unsolvable problem. The reason traditional methods fail is that they are passive. They don't stop a crime in progress. The definitive solution is to shift from a passive defense to an active one. Proactive live video monitoring is the only service that detects criminals the moment they enter and intervenes immediately to drive them off your property before they can do any harm. Our live video monitoring and strata property management security solutions provide this protection.
Underground and multi-story parkades in Surrey's dense strata communities present an ideal environment for criminals. They offer a high concentration of valuable targets with minimal risk of being seen. Data from Surrey RCMP in 2025 continues to show that theft from auto in parkades is one of the region's most persistent property crimes. Criminals know how to defeat standard security.
The most common method is "tailgating," where a criminal on foot or in a vehicle slips in behind a resident's car before the gate closes. They also frequently force open pedestrian doors, which are often a weak point in a building's defense.
Standard CCTV cameras only record the crime. Having a grainy video of someone in a hoodie smashing a window does little to help the resident whose laptop was just stolen. It's a record of the loss, not a prevention of it.
Our system is designed to turn your parkade from a soft target into a highly controlled, actively defended space. We don't wait for a resident to report a crime, we stop it as it's happening.
Our AI-powered cameras monitor all entry points. They are trained to detect tailgating, loitering near doors, and forced entry attempts, instantly alerting our Richmond-based monitoring team.
This is the game-changer. An operator activates speakers in the parkade and issues a direct warning: "Attention individual in the black jacket. You are under live surveillance in a private parkade. Your activities are being recorded. Leave the property now." This shatters the criminal's sense of anonymity and almost always causes them to flee.
If the intruder fails to comply, we immediately contact the Surrey RCMP with a verified report of a crime in progress, including a description of the suspect. This high-priority call ensures a faster, more effective police response.
Stop wasting strata fees on security measures that don't work. It's time to end the cycle of break-ins, resident complaints, and rising insurance costs. Proactive monitoring is the definitive solution that provides the genuine security your residents and their property deserve.
