Cannabis Facilities

Security built for licensed cannabis operations

Whether you run a cultivation facility, a processing and extraction site, a distribution warehouse or a retail storefront, our surveillance and live monitoring services protect product, staff and premises while giving you the continuous video record regulators and insurers expect.

The challenges

Common security challenges

01

High-value product theft

Finished product is compact, valuable and easy to move. Storage rooms, vaults and packaging areas are the first place a break-in heads for, and often the reason it happens at all.

02

Regulatory recording requirements

Federal licence holders must keep continuous, retrievable video of the areas where cannabis is present. A camera plan built for convenience rather than compliance is a finding waiting to happen.

03

Internal loss & diversion

Most inventory shrinkage in this sector is not a smashed door. Covering weigh stations, packaging lines and waste destruction makes the whole chain of custody visible.

04

Restricted-area access control

Only authorised people belong in a storage or production area. Cameras tied to door events turn an access log into something you can actually verify.

05

Retail robbery & smash-and-grab

Cannabis storefronts are a repeat target for after-hours ram raids and daytime grab-and-run theft. Live operators can speak to an intruder while they are still on the floor.

06

Staff safety in cash-heavy sites

Stores that still handle significant cash put their people at risk at open and close. Monitored cameras and two-way audio give staff a live human on the other end.

What we deliver

Complete security services

Licensed cannabis facility under camera surveillance
01

Compliance-led camera design

We map coverage against the areas your licence cares about - storage, production, packaging, destruction and every point of entry - so the system is documented before a single camera goes on the wall.

02

24/7 live video monitoring

Trained operators watch your site in real time, speak to intruders through on-site audio, and escalate to police or your keyholder with verified video attached.

03

AI perimeter & intrusion detection

Analytics separate a delivery at the loading door from someone working the fence line at 3am, so alerts stay meaningful and false alarms stay off your phone.

Secure recorded video retention for a cannabis operation
04

Retention, retrieval & incident reporting

Footage is retained for the period your licence requires and stays retrievable on request, with a written report and secured video for every verified incident.

Why Nexo

Why cannabis operators choose Nexo Monitoring

Built around the rules you report against

Coverage, recording and retention are specified up front and documented, so an inspection or a licence renewal is a paperwork exercise rather than a scramble.

Cheaper than a guard on site

One operator covers every camera on the property at once, for a fraction of the cost of overnight guard coverage, and never leaves the post.

Response in seconds, not the next morning

AI flags the activity, an operator verifies it, and the voice-down goes out while the person is still on the property.

One vendor, whole site

System design, installation, configuration, monitoring and maintenance come from one team, so nobody is pointing at the other when something needs fixing.

Works with the cameras you have

If your existing CCTV is ONVIF-compatible and holds up in low light, we connect it to our platform rather than sell you a replacement.

Multi-site operators, one platform

Cultivation, processing and every storefront run through the same system, with per-site reporting and a single point of contact for all of it.

The bottom line

Benefits of professional cannabis facility security

In this sector security is not only a loss-prevention line item - it is a condition of operating. Monitored AI cameras deter break-ins and internal diversion, cut the time between an incident and a response to seconds, and leave a continuous, retrievable video record that satisfies regulators, insurers and police alike.

Nexo Monitoring designs the system around how your facility actually runs, installs it, and watches it around the clock from our ULC-S301 certified Vancouver monitoring centre.

Questions, answered

Get the information you need about our services, process, and how to begin. If you have any questions, our team is always here to help.

We design to the recording, coverage and retention obligations that apply to your licence class and province, and we document the camera plan so you can show exactly what is covered and for how long. Your regulatory affairs lead signs off on that plan before installation, so what is deployed is what you report.

Retention is set to whatever your licence requires, and can be extended beyond it. Footage stays retrievable for that whole window, so a request from a regulator, an insurer or police is a search rather than an apology.

At minimum, every area where cannabis is present or handled - cultivation rooms, storage and vaults, production and packaging, waste destruction - plus all points of entry and the perimeter. We walk the site with you during the free survey and map coverage room by room.

Yes. Cameras can be tied to door events so every badge, buzz-in and forced-door alarm has matching video, which is what turns a restricted-area access log into something verifiable.

Yes. Operators commonly run cultivation, processing and every storefront through one platform, with per-site reporting and a single point of contact for the whole portfolio.

For most sites it replaces overnight and weekend guard coverage at a fraction of the cost. Where a physical presence is still required, our hybrid service pairs live monitoring with guards so detection and response work as one program.
