Quebec City Home Alarm & Security Systems

Quebec City’s 2024 Crime Severity Index of 55.3 is well below both Quebec’s provincial average (63.0) and the national index (77.9) — among the lowest of any major Canadian city covered in this analysis — but a 3% increase from 2023 is worth noting even against a strong overall base.

Area (2024)	Crime Severity Index	Change vs. 2023	Rate per 100,000

Quebec City’s low crime figures are genuinely impressive for a provincial capital of its size, and millions of tourists visiting Old Quebec’s UNESCO World Heritage core every year haven’t changed that. Still, the 3% year-over-year increase runs against the national improvement trend, and the historic core’s dense, centuries-old housing stock alongside newer suburban development on the city’s edges both carry their own security considerations that a single low city-wide average doesn’t fully separate out. Monitored security adds a consistent layer regardless of which part of the city you’re in: entry sensors, motion coverage, and a 24/7 professional response, plus fire, flood, and CO monitoring through Quebec’s winters.

How does monitored home security work in Quebec City?

Your home alarm system — entryway contacts, pet-sensitive motion detection, a digital keypad, high-decibel siren, and backup battery — connects to Canadian monitoring centres that never close. If the system detects a break-in, smoke, flood, or carbon monoxide, a real person responds within moments and alerts the appropriate Quebec City-area emergency service, whether you’re home or away. “Always On” technology keeps monitored smoke and CO detection active even when the alarm isn’t armed.
