Shield Against Crime and Theft

Cannabis is a high-risk business model. When your transactions are primarily cash, and there’s a heightened interest in your product, it’s easy to become a prime target for crime and theft.

To legally set up a cannabis shop, you also need a security plan to procure a business license and other legal approvals. And states like Colorado and Illinois require cannabis operators to install video surveillance 24/7 throughout the facility.

Our advanced video surveillance technology can help you secure your facilities and people. With an ADS system in place, you can:

Deter potential theft by employees or outsiders using on-site security cameras. Up to 90% of the theft in cannabis facilities is by employees.
View and preempt unwanted employee and customer behavior through powerful video analytics.
Monitor and keep tabs on your business remotely whenever you’re offsite and record evidence of the theft to prove the crime has occurred. Security camera footage is considered reliable evidence in a court of law.
Get immediate alerts on your mobile device when an intruder is on the premises through advanced electronic security sensors that monitor doors, windows, gates, and skylights to detect even the slightest breach.

Security Solutions Tailored to Your business

Proactively Manage the Threat of Fire

Lighting systems inside cannabis growing rooms operate at very high temperatures, and there’s always the potential for fire. ADS provides fire alarms that can meet even the most demanding fire code requirements applicable to your city while helping you save lives and property.

To minimize fire risk on your premises:

Protect your business and minimize damage with our state-of-the-art fire alarm system, including fire alarm panels, heat and smoke detectors, wireless transmitters, pull stations, warning horns, bells, and strobe lights. We provide installation and monitoring services.
Ensure your fire alarm and sprinkler systems operate optimally using our fire alarm and fire sprinkler testing services. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to managing the risk of fire accidents and damage. Annual testing can help minimize the risk of claims and ensure compliance for insurance purposes.

Cannabis Business Monitoring

Monitor the Growing Room Environment and Worker Safety

Carbon monoxide enrichment at high concentrations for optimizing plant growth can cause breathing difficulties and suffocation in workers. The burning of fuels to produce carbon monoxide can also introduce other hazards into the growing room, such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and combustible dust.

To prevent the formation of toxin-producing bacteria and mold, you must address humidity and ventilation in your facility. The skin can easily absorb fumigants like sulfur dioxide, which pose potential health problems for workers.

Cannabis plants require optimal temperatures and humidity control to grow and thrive. Our remote monitoring systems will ensure the health of your valuable cannabis and your workers by:

Monitoring minute changes in temperature remotely. Being forewarned can help you manage potential threats promptly and minimize risks.
Sending alerts on power outages that can negatively impact your growth environment, affecting the health of your workers and your valuable plants.
Monitoring your facilities to prevent unauthorized access that could damage your cannabis-growing rooms.
