Here's What They Say
ProActive Integrated Security Ltd. is a professional security company who provides the utmost care in ensuring your residential property is secure, safe and protected. From the initial contact to the completion of the work, everyone involved answered all my questions and concerns in a prompt and courteous manner. I would highly recommend this company for all your security needs. Thank you to Bren and Troy for your expertise.
I called in the morning as my alarm was going off and I didn’t know why. I spoke to Brenda initially and she was very calm, professional and patient with me. She was able to do some troubleshooting with me and told me the cost to have a technician come to my house. The technician was scheduled to come within the hour. Todd was also very professional and took the time to explain what he was doing and how I could better utilize my security system. I truly felt valued as a customer and would recommend them.
Needed a tech to come take a look at our alarm system, Bren was super responsive and very quick to reply with helpful information. She was able to get a tech sent out easily. The tech was on time and very professional. Had us back up and running in no time. Great service from everyone I dealt with! Highly recommended if you have questions or need your alarm system looked at. Thanks ProActive!
That was best customer service and the fastest delivery of service I have ever experienced. Amazing! We needed our fire alarm reset and they were amazingly fast to send a technician. Technician was amazing, he not only fixed the issue but also demonstrated how to fix it in future and how to operate the alarm system. I knew nothing about this system. Thank you again for such an incredibly fast service.
ProActive is a "10". Quality, quick and friendly service. Dedication to detail and resolution of problems. They have restored our faith in what customer service looks like.
👍👍😊😊
ProActive Security was highly recommended by a family member that has received services from this company for approximately 20 years. Recently I had them install a new home security system and this was the easiest decision for my new home. Bren has been my first point of contact via email and always provided a response within the same day. Installation completed by Troy was fast and professional.
I had to run a DIY c/o YouTube factory reset on my system. I called ProActive and Brenda is so pleasant over the phone, and within 15m she had me schedule for a service that same day. Within 30m Troy is over at my place to service my alarm system, and he finished within 30m walking me through all the work he is doing (so I can learn to DIY for next time). If you guys call try to request for TROY, he is so polite and so pleasant to talk to. This guys are AMAZING! Keep it up guys! My home security go-to from now on!
We had proactive come in to install a completely new CCTV system. Ian and Troy were incredible. Very professional, friendly and helpful. Service was stellar and will be recommending to all colleagues who are looking to update their system. Top notch service and great product. Very happy with results.
Professional and friendly service. Highly recommend ProActive!

Questions About HIKVision Camera Systems?
Are Hikvision security cameras banned in Canada?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
In 2025, the Government of Canada ordered Hikvision Canada to cease its Canadian operations following a national security review. The order also prohibits the purchase and use of Hikvision products by federal government departments, agencies, and Crown corporations.
For private homeowners and most private businesses, existing Hikvision camera systems are not illegal simply because they are installed. However, the government's decision has created uncertainty around future manufacturer support, warranty service, and official Canadian operations.
If you already own a Hikvision system, we can assess your equipment, discuss your options, and help you determine whether continuing to use, service, or eventually upgrade your system makes the most sense for your property.
Can you still service my existing Hikvision camera system?
Yes. If you already have a Hikvision security camera system installed, we can often help with troubleshooting, repairs, adding cameras, replacing hard drives or recorders, and expanding your existing system.
We'll evaluate your equipment and recommend the most practical solution based on its age, condition, and your long-term goals.
Do I need to replace my Hikvision cameras?
Not necessarily.
Many existing Hikvision camera systems continue to operate reliably. If your system is meeting your needs, there may be no immediate reason to replace it.
However, if you're concerned about long-term manufacturer support, firmware updates, or future expansion, we can review your system and discuss whether upgrading to another platform would be beneficial.
Can I add new cameras to my existing Hikvision system?
In many cases, yes.
Depending on your recorder, available storage, and network capacity, we can often add additional Hikvision cameras or recommend compatible solutions to expand your surveillance coverage.
What if my Hikvision recorder fails?
If your NVR or DVR stops working, we'll first determine whether it can be repaired or replaced. Depending on the age of the system and equipment availability, it may be more cost-effective to upgrade to a newer surveillance platform.
We'll always recommend the option that provides the best value rather than replacing equipment unnecessarily.
