What LivePatrol does

LivePatrol Inc., founded in 2014 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, is a privately held Canadian security services firm that operates an AI-powered live video monitoring and remote management platform. The company's core product, Remote Live Video Monitoring, delivers 24/7/365 surveillance using self-learning video analytics that filter relevant motion (people, vehicles) and trigger real-time alerts on irregular activity, with supplemental capabilities in facial recognition and license plate recognition. Complementary offerings include Remote Concierge Services (visitor monitoring, guard tours, incident response), Remote Access Management (video-verified entry control), Time Lapse Video capture for construction project documentation, and standalone solar-powered monitoring trailers for sites without existing power or network infrastructure. Customers access live feeds and manage sites through a smartphone app and desktop software.

The company generates revenue predominantly through recurring monthly subscriptions for monitoring services, with add-on modules priced à la carte (license plate detection, emergency guard dispatch integration, time-lapse marketing). LivePatrol positions its offering at approximately 50% of the cost of 24/7 guard services, which the company notes typically exceed $100,000 annually. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, targeting enterprise and mid-market customers across roughly ten verticals including construction, high-rise residential, trucking, automotive dealerships, commercial businesses, storage facilities, outdoor assets, property management, solar farms, and cannabis licensed producers. Named accounts include CAPREIT, City of Vaughan, EllisDon, Ford, Graham, Mattamy Homes, PCL, Starlight, and Wet'n'Wild Toronto.

Distribution is concentrated in Canada with a primary Greater Toronto Area base and expanding presence in Calgary, Ottawa, and other markets, supported by industry-specific landing pages and an active content/blog layer as the inbound demand engine. The company reports no external funding and operates as an independent, privately held corporation; in 2023 it was named to the Globe and Mail's Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies.
