5 Best Home Security System in Toronto (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Protection Plus has been installing home security system setups across Toronto since 1994, and its Google page now carries 1,066 reviews at a 4.9 average, the deepest record among the businesses on this page. iC Security Systems holds its own perfect 5.0 on a smaller base of 140 reviews, so the choice often comes down to a three-decade name versus a newer, flawless one.

Short answer: Protection Plus leads with 4.9 stars across 1,066 reviews, the deepest history on this list (in business since 1994). iC Security Systems and Canada Cameras both run perfect 5.0 ratings on lighter review counts if you want a smaller, hands-on installer. All five are verified July 2026.

5 Best Home Security System in Toronto (2026)

The five, reviewed

#1 Overall🕑 Open 5 days/wk↩ Responds to reviews

Protection Plus

4.91,066 Google reviews

Protection Plus has been installing home and business security systems across Toronto and the GTA since 1994, covering alarms, cameras and locksmith work under one roof. The company's own tagline, "Big enough to deliver, small enough to care," shows up in reviews too, with customers naming specific installers and sales staff rather than describing a call-centre experience. It's built for homeowners who want an alarm system, cameras and a smart-home app set up in one visit.

What people praise

Reviewers consistently name their installer and sales rep by name, a sign of a stable local team
Praised for quick, tidy installs with a walkthrough of how to use the new system
Smartphone app setup included so owners can arm, disarm and get alerts remotely

Worth knowing

One reviewer needed a follow-up visit after a camera froze post-install, worth confirming what support looks like if a device needs troubleshooting

SafeTech Alarm Systems

4.7427 Google reviews

SafeTech Alarm Systems is a North York-based security provider that runs its own ULC-listed Central Monitoring Station in Etobicoke, a detail that comes up repeatedly in owner replies to reviews. The company specialises in taking over and upgrading existing alarm systems, including older Honeywell and DSC panels, and pairing them with smartphone apps like Alarm.com. It suits homeowners switching away from a big telecom provider who want to keep their existing wiring.

What people praise

Runs its own ULC-accredited monitoring station rather than outsourcing it
Reviewers highlight a named client services manager for smooth transitions from other providers
Technicians described as thorough, checking every sensor contact point during installation

Worth knowing

A larger share of lower ratings than the top pick, though still a strong 4.7 average across 427 reviews

2B Wired Toronto

4.8155 Google reviews

2B Wired is a licensed Toronto electrician (ECRA/ESA registered) that handles security system wiring and installation as part of broader residential and commercial electrical work, alongside service upgrades, rewiring and lighting. It's not a dedicated security specialist the way the rest of this list is, so it fits best for homeowners who want security wiring done at the same time as other electrical work, like a panel upgrade or home theatre install.

What people praise

Same-day emergency response mentioned for urgent electrical issues
Reviewers say the team explains options clearly before starting work
Praised for finishing jobs in a single visit rather than multiple call-backs

Worth knowing

Security systems are one of several services rather than the main focus, so a dedicated alarm company may offer deeper product options

Canada Cameras

5.031 Google reviews

Canada Cameras is a Toronto CCTV and security camera supplier offering 4K IP cameras, PTZ cameras, access control and complete packages for homes and businesses, with same-day local installation. The company sells hardware directly rather than bundling it into an alarm monitoring contract, which suits homeowners who want cameras and access control without a recurring monitoring fee.

What people praise

Reviewers describe clean installs with no visible wires or drilling mess
Fast turnaround, with one review citing four cameras installed in under three hours
Handles larger jobs too, including a 25-camera commercial install in one review

Watch: 5 Best Home Security System in Toronto (2026)

How we scored this list

Rating is each company’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many real customers left a rating, compared against the other home security businesses we pulled for Toronto. Confidence blends the two so a perfect score on a handful of reviews doesn’t outrank a strong average built on over a thousand. Recency checks how fresh the reviews are, and completeness checks whether a business has a working site, phone and listed hours. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does a home security system cost in Toronto? (2026)

None of the five businesses on this list publish a flat price online, since alarm and camera setups vary by the number of doors, windows and cameras covered, and whether monitoring is included. Expect the final number to depend on equipment count, on whether it’s a fresh install or an upgrade to an existing panel, and on whether you want 24/7 professional monitoring versus a self-monitored app. Ask for a written, itemised quote before booking.

Serving all of Toronto and the GTA

These providers cover the full GTA, from North York and Etobicoke to downtown Toronto’s King West and Dundas corridors, out to Old Toronto and beyond. Several run their own local monitoring or dispatch, so response times inside the city core tend to be quick. If you’re searching for a home security system near me anywhere in Toronto or the surrounding suburbs, everyone on this list takes calls across the wider GTA.

Best Security Camera Installation in Toronto

What to ask before you hire a home security installer

Is monitoring included, and is it 24/7 professional monitoring or self-monitored through an app?
Can you work with my existing panel and wiring, or does everything need replacing?
What’s the total cost including equipment, installation and any monthly monitoring fee?
Is there a contract length, and what happens if I want to cancel or switch providers?
Do you offer same-day or emergency installation if something breaks?
Will I get training on how to use the app and arm or disarm the system?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, including ratings and review counts. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five home security companies?

We pulled every home security business with a real, active Google presence in Toronto and compared live rating, review volume and how recently customers left feedback. The five with the strongest combination made this list.

How often is this list updated?

We refreshed the data in July 2026 directly from each business’s Google listing. Ratings and review counts shift over time, so treat the scorecards as a snapshot from that date.

Do I need professional monitoring, or is a self-monitored system enough?

That depends on how quickly you want a response if an alarm triggers while you’re away. Self-monitored systems send alerts to your phone; professionally monitored ones have a dispatch centre calling you and, if needed, emergency services.

Can I switch security companies without buying new equipment?

Often yes. Several companies on this list, including SafeTech, specialise in taking over existing panels from other providers rather than requiring a full replacement, though it depends on the brand and age of your current system.

The bottom line

Protection Plus is the safe default for most Toronto homeowners, with the longest history and the deepest review base on this list. If you’re switching away from a big telecom provider and want to keep existing wiring, SafeTech’s in-house monitoring is worth a call too. Either way, get a written quote before you sign anything.
