Get home security leads in Canada

Security requests let homeowners pick everything they want installed or fixed: an alarm system, security or doorbell cameras, locks or smart locks, smart home devices, Wi-Fi and home networks, or TV, audio and home theatre. Each request also says whether it’s a repair, a replacement or a new install.

What a home security lead shows you

Every home security request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.

When locks are involved, the homeowner is asked whether they’re locked out right now, which separates urgent lockout calls from planned smart-lock upgrades. If you don’t do lockouts, leave locksmith services off and those calls won’t reach you.

  1. What would you like installed or fixed?

    • Alarm system
    • Security or doorbell cameras
    • Locks or smart locks
    • Smart home
    • Wi-Fi or home network
    • TV, audio or home theatre

  2. Are you locked out right now?

The guide homeowners get on this site

We publish a home security guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.

What the guide covers

  • Monitored vs. self-monitored home alarm systems
  • Home alarm system components: door contacts, motion detectors, sirens and keypads
  • Wireless vs. wired alarm systems: which suits your house?
  • Alarm installer licences in Quebec: the Bureau de la sécurité privée
  • Alarm monitoring contracts: renewals, changes and cancellation rights
  • Smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring through your alarm system
  • Preventing false alarms, and why some cities charge for them

Questions it answers

  • Do I need a monitoring contract for a home alarm system?
  • Can I cancel an alarm contract I signed at my door?
  • How do I check that an alarm installer is licensed in Quebec?
  • Can a monitored alarm system replace my smoke alarms?

Our provincial permit guides don’t list a licence specific to this trade. That isn’t legal advice: check with your province or territory and your municipality before you take on work.

Alarm installer licences in Quebec: the Bureau de la sécurité privée

From our guide for this trade, with the official sources it was checked against.

In Quebec, the Bureau de la sécurité privée (BSP) oversees the private security industry under the Private Security Act. It lists electronic security systems among the regulated activities, including the installation, repair, maintenance and continuous remote monitoring of burglar and intrusion alarm systems, and anyone who carries out a regulated activity must hold an agent licence. The BSP's public registry of licence holders shows the status of a licence in real time, so you can check the technician's name before the visit.

Agencies need a licence too. Elsewhere in Canada, rules for alarm installers vary by province, and some municipalities have their own alarm bylaws, so ask the installer what applies where you live. Whatever the province, if the panel needs a new circuit or an added outlet, that part of the job goes to a licensed electrician.

How matching works

Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.

How we rank and match pros
  • You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
  • Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
  • Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
  • When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
  • Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.

Invalid leads and refunds

If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:

  • The contact details are wrong or don't work.
  • It duplicates a lead you already received.
  • It isn't a real request for work.
  • It's outside the services or areas you listed.

Verification you’ll need

Before you receive leads, you confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. Business registration, licence and insurance details are optional during sign-up; once our team checks them, your profile shows what was verified and when.

  • Contact details verified

    You confirm your business email and phone number with one-time codes. This is required before you receive leads.

  • Business registration checked

    Our team reviews the registration details you provide.

  • Licence and insurance checked

    Where your trade calls for a licence or insurance, we review what you provide.

Verification shows which details were checked and when. It isn’t a guarantee of workmanship, and it can’t be bought.

Getting set up for security work

  • Monitoring contracts and one-time installs are different offers. Explain yours clearly in your profile.
  • Choose networking and home theatre only if your team installs them.
  • Photos of clean camera and panel installs help homeowners picture the finished job.
