Video Surveillance
Professionally designed camera systems for homes, strata buildings, businesses and construction sites across the Okanagan.
What Real Video Surveillance Does
A camera that only records is a documentation tool but our properly designed and integrated systems are an active layer of protection.
Live Video Verification
With ULC-certified monitoring, an operator can view live footage during an alarm event and verify what’s actually happening — not just receive a recording after the fact.
Auto-Tracking Cameras
Select cameras can follow and zoom in on movement automatically, keeping a subject in frame rather than relying on a fixed, static angle.
Remote Viewing
Check live or recorded footage from a phone or desktop, from anywhere — whether you’re offsite for the day or away for the season.
Reliable Wireless
Modern wireless systems transmit fast enough to match hardwired performance, opening up coverage in locations where running cable isn’t practical.
Why AVS, Specifically
AVS has been providing security solutions to Kelowna and the Okanagan since 2004, and we’ve handled installs most companies would turn down — high moisture environments, long-distance wireless links, and harsh outdoor conditions across the region’s varied terrain.
We start with a site assessment, identifying the risks specific to your property and designing camera coverage around what it actually needs — using professional-grade surveillance platforms and equipment matched to the requirements of each project. From there, we handle installation, programming, maintenance and ongoing support.
A camera system is only as useful as what it’s integrated with. We make sure yours works alongside your alarms, access control, intercoms and other building security systems.
AVS is fully licensed, bonded and insured, verifiable by BC’s Security Services Act registry.
Property Types We Service
Monitoring & Remote Viewing
A camera system is only as useful as who’s watching it and how quickly they can act on what they see. Whether that’s a professional monitoring centre, your property manager, or you checking in from your phone, we design the viewing and alert side of the system around how you actually want to use it.
For 24/7 coverage, events can be routed to a ULC-certified monitoring centre, where an operator verifies what’s happening on live video and dispatches a response — not just a recording reviewed after the fact. When you want eyes on the property yourself, our mobile app puts live and recorded footage in your pocket from anywhere, with separate logins for a strata council, property manager or on-site staff, each seeing only what they need to.
Motion-based alerts mean you find out about activity as it happens, rather than discovering it later, and footage can be stored locally, in the cloud, or both — with retention set to match what your property actually needs.
The Right Camera for the Job
Every camera system starts with a site visit. We walk the property, identify what actually needs coverage, and assess conditions like lighting, distance and whether wired or wireless makes more sense.
From there, we design a system around your property and budget, handle the installation and programming, and train whoever needs to use it. We continue with ongoing service and support after the install is done.

Already have cameras installed? Register them with the City of Kelowna.
The Kelowna RCMP and City of Kelowna run a voluntary Business CCTV Registry that helps police quickly identify nearby footage after an incident, speeding up investigations. Registering only tells police a camera exists, which direction it faces, and how long footage is kept — you stay in full control of your system and footage, and you’re never obligated to share anything.
