There are many reasons why the coming months are a burglar’s favorite time of the year and it’s not because they are taking a holiday, but instead, it’s because you are. With the upraise in crime during the winter months, homeowners need to take extra measures to make sure they their homes and valuables well protected. Since police efforts are spread thin across the Greater Toronto Area, the Ontario Provincial Police warned residents to ensure homeowners have a proactive plan to protect themselves, their properties and their assets.

Statistics Canada determined an overall increase of crimes in Ontario since 2014. In 2018, there were 4,470 acts of theft over $5,000 in Ontario, 624 more than the year before. More devastatingly, there were 8,545 more violent crimes committed in Ontario last year which included homicide, murder, infanticide and other violations causing death. Based on these stats and the headlines in the news, our team is determined to give homeowners the right tools and technology to keep them safe and sound. We have a number of solutions to expedite a response to your call and a specially designed remedy for your concerns regarding car theft.

While you’re away from your home, the last thing you need to worry about is the security of your home. Spending time with your family away from the day-to-day stress means disconnecting with some R&R. Our layered approach of protecting your home is a foolproof methodology proven to be effective and give you the peace of mind you need this holiday season: Detect, Notify, Respond and Deter.

Each layer signifies a set of security technologies and processes. Every additional layer added to a solution helps build a strong system. Turn-key alarm systems that are installed without customizations are designed for the masses and are not robust solutions. Robust solutions require design, planning and implementation, not a next-day installation.

No other security provider in Toronto provides this layered approach with a guaranteed 6-minute alarm response time (on average) in the case of any emergency. This is what makes Avante different, and the chosen provider for Toronto homes and families over the last 20+ years.

With new clients, we first start with our comprehensive (and complimentary) evaluation of your home’s security requirements to understand your lifestyle. Unlike many alarm system providers, we don’t just install a system, we maintain and service the system while also providing human services that amplify the technology. We can even help you with home automation so you can control elements of your home with a single command or touch of a button. We’re your reliable resource for all of your home technology needs. Each client will feel the personalized touch by our highly skilled and highly friendly staff. With Avante, you are in good hands.

We believe in using data to understand the environment of your home and property. Although we do execute randomized patrols of our Executive client’s home, property and neighbourhood, Video Analytics is a valuable enhancement to any security solution. Many clients rely on video analytics technology to protect their home, as well as their cottages, and the assets on their property —including their vehicles. Video Analytics documents patterns of activity on your property to distinguish regular motions from unusual behaviour. Cameras are able to detect the difference between a squirrel innocently playing on your lawn from a human approaching your home. Our systems are so intuitive that we’re able to detect burglars loitering on your property. With so many of our marked vehicles on the road, we guarantee a rapid response.

Our team is dedicated and thoughtful beyond expectations. New clients experience the difference in our level of service from the beginning. To us, a patrol isn’t the simple action of driving by homes, it’s the act of showing others that we’re actively watching over your home, collecting your mail, bringing in your garbage bins, checking that your appliances are functioning well, turning lights on and off, keeping valuables out of sight and ensuring there are no signs of suspicious activity. If there is any gift that you could offer to a new neighbour this holiday season, it should be an introduction to Avante Security’s Executive services.
