Environmental Monitoring Systems in Edmonton
Smart Protection Against Water, Temperature, Air & Safety Hazards
Just like busy mothers wear many hats yet still protect what matters most, your security system should protect you against all of life’s hidden hazards. At KTA Security, we install advanced environmental monitoring systems that alert you to hidden risks like flooding, freezing temperatures, carbon monoxide, smoke, and poor air quality.
Whether you’re at home, at work, or away, our smart sensors keep you informed in real-time.
What Is Environmental Monitoring?
Environmental monitoring uses smart sensors to detect changes in your home or business that could indicate danger. These systems send instant alerts when conditions fall outside safe ranges so that you can act fast before small issues turn into major problems.
Our Clients
Our Environmental Monitoring Solutions
We provide fully integrated, smart monitoring systems tailored to your property:
Water & Flood Sensors
Water and flood sensors are used in Canada because freezing temperatures can cause pipes to burst, leading to major damage before you even notice. These sensors detect water early and send alerts immediately, protecting your home from leaks, burst pipes, and flooding.
Common uses:
- Basements
- Near sump pumps
- Under sinks and appliances
Wi-Fi Temperature Sensors & Low Temperature Alarms
If you are one of the “Snowbirds” in Canada, you likely leave for the winter, and there is nothing worse than returning to your property to find frozen pipes and structural damage. Monitor your
property 24/7 with a Wi-Fi temperature sensor or smart thermometer. These systems alert you if temperatures fall below a preset threshold, sending alerts before freezing occurs.
Perfect for:
- Vacant homes
- Garages and mechanical rooms
- Seasonal properties
Humidity Sensors
A humidity sensor helps maintain safe and comfortable indoor air by monitoring moisture levels in your home or business. It’s ideal for preventing mold growth, condensation, and damage to walls, furniture, and flooring.
Perfect for:
- Basements and crawl spaces prone to moisture
- Bathrooms and kitchens with high humidity
- Homes with wood floors, furniture, or valuable possessions
- Preventing mold and maintaining healthy indoor air quality
Carbon Monoxide (CO) & Gas Detection
Carbon monoxide is invisible and very dangerous, often caused by fuel-burning appliances like gas furnaces, water heaters, or stoves that don’t vent properly. Often referred to as “the Silent Killer,” CO2 is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, which often means it can build up in your home without your knowledge. Our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors provide real-time alerts to protect your family and the people you love.
Common questions:
Should carbon monoxide detectors be placed high or low?
CO detectors should be installed at breathing height or according to manufacturer guidelines, typically on ceilings or walls. We provide a full walkthrough of your property to determine the right kind of sensor for you and your property.
What are two warning signs of carbon monoxide in a house?
- Headaches, dizziness, or nausea
- Unusual fatigue or confusion
The 4 Main Types of Environmental Monitoring:
Water & Flood Detection – Prevent water damage before it spreads
Temperature Monitoring – Detect freezing or overheating conditions
Air Quality Monitoring – Identify harmful gases and pollutants
Fire & Life Safety Detection – Alert you to smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide
Smoke & Heat Sensors
We install both heat detectors and smoke sensors to provide complete fire protection. While smoke detectors respond quickly to visible smoke, heat sensors are better suited for areas like kitchens or garages, where smoke might trigger false alarms. Using a combination of both ensures the most reliable protection for your home or business.
Heat Detectors – Perfect for:
- Kitchens and cooking areas where smoke is common
- Garages or utility rooms with dust or fumes
- Areas prone to false alarms from steam or smoke
Smoke Detectors – Perfect for:
- Bedrooms and living spaces for early warning
- Hallways and common areas for full coverage
- Anywhere a fast response to visible smoke is critical
Air Quality Sensors & Indoor Air Monitors
Monitor pollutants, humidity, and air quality in real-time with a smart indoor air monitor. Poor indoor air quality can cause headaches, fatigue, allergies, respiratory irritation, and even disrupt sleep. Homes and businesses can also suffer from mold growth, condensation, and damage to furniture or electronics due to excessive humidity. With a smart indoor air monitor, you can catch these issues early, take action to improve your air quality, and create a healthier, safer environment for your family, employees, or tenants.
What are the symptoms of poor air quality in a house?
- Headaches or fatigue
- Allergies or respiratory irritation
- Poor sleep quality
Where should indoor air quality sensors be placed?
In commonly used living spaces, away from vents, windows, and direct airflow for accurate readings.
Protect More Than Just Your Property
Environmental damage can strike suddenly or develop slowly over time. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Protect what matters most.
