Etobicoke Security Camera Buyer’s Guide

Etobicoke Security Camera Buyer’s Guide (2025)

If you’re in Etobicoke, you’re either protecting:
Assets, Income, or Liability.
This guide shows you what works, what fails, and how to avoid getting burned by weak systems or illegal installs.

Why You Need Real Security in Etobicoke

  • 🚗 Auto theft and break-ins in Rexdale, Jamestown
  • 📦 Porch piracy near The Queensway & Lake Shore
  • 🏬 Clinic liability & privacy compliance
  • 🧳 Triplex landlords & short-term rentals
  • 🛻 Tool theft at yards, shops, and warehouses

This isn’t a “maybe you should get cameras” city.
It’s a “you’re late if you don’t have them yet” zone.

Wired vs Wireless in Etobicoke

🔌 Wired (What 90% of Clients Choose)

  • Solid 4K quality
  • Always recording (no Wi-Fi signal drops)
  • Perfect for exterior coverage
  • Court-ready NVR storage
  • 10+ year lifespan

📶 Wireless (Rarely Used)

  • Only for condos/interiors where wired access is blocked
  • Not ideal for rentals or multi-zone installs
  • Prone to signal interference (especially near Kipling/Rexdale)

Wired = Peace of mind.
Wireless = Risk unless extremely controlled.
