Security solutions for multi-family residential properties
Multi-family buildings juggle the security expectations of hundreds of residents with the budget realities of a board or operator. Fortega protects Canadian condos, purpose-built rentals and student housing with cloud-based access, smart video and 24/7 monitoring designed for residential life — from move-in day to lost-fob Monday morning.
What residential operators are dealing with
Lobby and parkade tailgating remains the most common point of unauthorized entry. Once inside, package theft, mail-room break-ins and vehicle break-ins follow quickly.
Fob and key duplication, lost credentials and roommate sharing make legacy access systems leaky. Cloud platforms with mobile credentials and self-service revocation close that gap.
Short-term rental misuse turns suites into hospitality units overnight, with strangers gaining building credentials. Without intelligent access policies, operators have no visibility.
Resident-on-resident incidents and disputes increasingly need verifiable video evidence to support concierge, property management and police.
Fortega's residential approach
We design for resident experience first. Mobile credentials, visitor pre-authorisation and intercom integration mean residents move through the building seamlessly while operators retain control.
Common-area video covers lobbies, mail rooms, parkades, amenity spaces and back-of-house — never inside suites. Retention and signage follow PIPEDA and provincial privacy expectations.
Our 24/7 monitoring centre handles after-hours intrusion, panic and amenity-space alarms with verified dispatch, taking pressure off concierge and on-call property management.
