How much does a security guard cost in Quebec?

 

The cost of a security guard in Quebec generally ranges from $25 to $40 per hour, depending on experience and the shift (evening/night).

 

For 24/7 surveillance, this often represents $18,000 to $30,000 per month for a single guard, and in many cases, a construction site requires 2 to 3 guards to effectively cover all areas.

 

Do cameras replace a guard?

 

Not always—but they can replace a large part of the work involved in 24/7 video surveillance; the technology takes over. Why pay 3 guards… when one unit provides continuous 360° coverage?

 

Does it work without electricity?

 

Yes, modern mobile video surveillance systems are designed to be 100% self-contained, making them perfect for construction sites, parking lots, and other locations.

         

They operate using :

• Solar panel

• High-capacity batteries

• An cellular connection

​

Result :

• No electical connection required

• No internet connection needed

• Reliable operation even in remote areas

 

It is an ideal solution for critical, temporary or isolated sites.

​

What is the best solution for a construction site?

​

The best solution depends on several factors:

• Site size

• Risk level

• Available budget

• Need for on-site intervention

 

In general :

Mobile surveillance cameras
✔ Ideal for reducing costs
✔ Constant 24/7 monitoring
✔ Highly effective deterrent

​

Security Guards
✔ Physical Intervention
✔ Humain presence

​

In many cases, the best approach is to optimize security with cameras to reduce staffing levels. Today, more and more companies are choosing a mobile, autonomous solution to maximize their efficiency while controlling costs.
