Gas Stations & Convenience Stores security in Calgary
Bordo Security Ltd
Gas station security cameras in Calgary help owners see pumps, the forecourt and the till area, and keep a record of what happens on site day and night. Bordo Security Ltd designs and installs security cameras, access control and alarm systems for gas stations and convenience stores in Calgary and the surrounding Alberta areas. Since 2010, we have completed more than 1,350 projects, and our team of 12 specialists designs each system around the site’s pumps, store layout and opening hours.
What security cameras do gas stations need in Calgary?
Gas stations need cameras that cover the pumps and forecourt, the store entrance, the till area and the areas around the building. Forecourt cameras show vehicles at the pumps and people moving around the site, while till-area cameras record transactions and the counter. Cameras at the entrance and exits help identify vehicles and people if an incident needs to be reviewed.
Outdoor cameras need to work in Calgary weather and in low light, so we use cameras suited to outdoor use, with clear night viewing for the forecourt and yard. Footage is stored securely, and owners can review it from the store office or remotely.
What is included in a typical gas station security system:
- Security cameras for pumps, forecourt, store entrance and till area
- Licence-plate capture cameras at forecourt entrances and exits
- Cameras covering the store, stock areas and staff entrances
- Alarm systems with 24/7 monitoring for after-hours intrusion
- Remote viewing so owners can check the site from anywhere
- Recorded footage to support incident review and insurance claims
How do pump and forecourt cameras help owners?
Pump and forecourt cameras give owners a clear view of the busiest part of the site. They show vehicles at the pumps, people moving around the forecourt and any incident that happens outside. If a drive-off or a dispute happens, recorded footage shows what happened and when, and licence-plate capture can help identify the vehicle.
How does licence-plate capture work at a gas station?
Licence-plate capture cameras are placed where vehicles enter and leave the forecourt, where they slow down. The cameras record plates as vehicles pass, so the site has a record of vehicles that used the pumps. That record is useful when a drive-off is reported or when an incident needs to be checked.
What protects the store after hours?
After hours, an alarm system watches the store, stock areas and entrances. Door and motion sensors are monitored around the clock, so if someone tries to enter the building, the monitoring station and the people you name are contacted. Cameras can also be checked remotely, so an alarm can be reviewed before anyone attends the site.
How does our project work?
Every gas station project follows the same clear process, so you know what will happen and when.
- Site assessment – We visit your gas station and convenience store, walk through the forecourt, pumps and store, and talk with you about drive-offs, till security and after-hours protection.
- Scope and design – We prepare a plan that shows camera positions, licence-plate capture points and alarm coverage, and we agree it with you before work starts.
- Professional installation – Our team of 12 specialists installs the cameras, access control and alarms, labels the system and shows your team how to use it.
- Monitoring and ongoing support – We set up alarm monitoring and remote viewing, and we are available to help if you have questions or need changes later.
