Our Mission
At Canal Alarm, our mission is to provide security professionals with a vast inventory, technical expertise, and quick shipping, all while upholding the values of honesty, integrity, and reliability in the physical security industry.
The quality of our products and our customers' experience will always be our main priorities: both come before the scale of our company or the pace at which we grow. We are independently owned and operated. We are committed to slow and deliberate growth that does not jeopardize our goals or values.

Authorized Dealer
Not every website is an authorized dealer for the products they're selling. But Canal Alarm is an authorized dealer for every single brand we carry. Here are four reasons to buy from an authorized dealer.
- Your warranty will be honored. Some manufacturers will only honor a request for service under warranty if the item was purchased from an authorized dealer. You may be asked to show proof of purchase through a dated invoice from an authorized dealer.
- Canal Alarm only sells new equipment. The brand-new, unused, undamaged item is in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging is the same as in our retail stores unless the manufacturer packaged the item in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.
- You will receive legitimate equipment made for the U.S. market. Unauthorized dealers, also called "gray market" dealers, sometimes sell units that look the same as those intended to be sold in the U.S. but do not meet the exact performance specifications. For example, they're unlikely to be UL listed and unsafe; they may need accessories provided with U.S. models and be challenging to repair.
- Your dealer will have important information about your product. Because many manufacturers provide authorized dealers with thorough, ongoing training, those retailers have more info on how to set up and use their products. They may also be given info about product recalls or modifications.
Warranty Assist℠
Canal Alarm will assist with any product that has become defective within the specific manufacturer’s warranty period. Warranty terms and conditions differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some manufacturers will not honor warranties unless certain requirements are met, and due diligence performed by customers (such as obtaining service or repair ticket numbers from factory technical support). Specific warranty information can be obtained by contacting Canal Alarm or the manufacturers directly. Canal Alarm will assume no responsibility for failure to follow manufacturer set guidelines.
Warranty claims shall not apply to any products which have been subject to misuse, neglect, accident, modification, water, fire, dirt, lightning, paint, contamination, vermin, or to use in violation of instructions furnished, nor extended to units which have been repaired or altered outside of the factory.
Warranty information is listed on product detail pages and our manufacturer's directory.
