The phones, the doors, the cameras and the network. One company.
IP Lynx is a telecom and security systems integrator based in Lakeshore, Ontario. We install the systems a building runs on, then build the software that makes them simple to live with.
An integrator that got tired of the finger-pointing.
Most buildings have a phone company, a door company, a camera company and an IT company, and when something breaks each one points at the other three. IP Lynx was built to be the one call instead.
Installer first
We put in the same proven hardware other integrators do, and we have since the 1990s. Telephony, access control, cameras, network, Wi-Fi, PA, nurse call, cabling and fibre, by one crew that knows how each piece affects the next.
Software maker second
Where the vendor interface is too technical for a property manager on a phone, we write the layer on top, and we customise and integrate it to fit the site. That is what VantageCore, Sentinel, LynxVision, LynxCurator and LynxWriter are: our own products, built around the hardware we already install.
One number after
When the install is done you keep one phone number, and whoever answers it is responsible for the whole building. If a job is outside what we do best, we say so and bring in a partner we trust, and we still own the result.
Vendor hardware underneath. Our software on top.
Every integrator in Ontario can sell you a controller, a camera recorder and a phone system. We went a step further and wrote the apps that let a property manager, office manager or clinic administrator run them from a phone, without ever seeing the installer screens. The hardware stays standard. If you ever leave us, the doors keep working.
VantageCore
Our integration hub and the interface customers use every day. Run doors, people and fobs from a phone on ICT Protege controllers, and build more of the site onto it over time.
Integration hub LiveSentinel
Camera as a Server for storefronts and small sites. Cameras, recording and remote viewing as a monthly plan, maintained by us, so you never babysit a recorder.
Cameras Ask usLynxVision
AI vision that makes dumb cameras smart. When a camera sees a line crossed, a plate or a truck in the wrong bay, it does something: a light, a gate, a message. LynxCurator trains custom models for your site.
AI rules LiveLynxWriter
Fob and card programming done in-house, Mifare and DESFire, so replacement credentials arrive ready to hand out instead of waiting on a vendor.
Order fobsWalk the site, one proposal, one number.
The same four steps whether it is three doors at a clinic or a whole office rebuild.
Walk the building with you
Phones, doors, cameras, rack, Wi-Fi. We look at what is there and what is fighting with what, and we tell you plainly what is worth keeping.
One proposal, one price
Hardware, software and the monthly plan on one page. No separate quotes from four vendors to reconcile.
Install and test together
We commission everything, label the rack, and show your staff the app. You sign off when it works, not when the boxes are empty.
One number after
Support, changes and additions go through the same team that installed it. If something is our fault, we say so and fix it.
Value, plainly.
- Value is not the cheapest quote.
It is the system that still works in year five, with the fewest surprises in between. That is the test we hold every product to before it goes in our portfolio.
- Standard hardware, always.
We build on ICT, Yeastar, Milesight and Digital Watchdog, not on anything proprietary to us. Our software adds to it. Walk away from us and the building keeps running.
- Simple for the person using it.
The office manager should never need the installer screens. If a daily task takes more than a couple of taps on a phone, we have not finished the job.
- If we are not the best at it, we say so.
We have partners for the pieces outside our lane. You still get one number and one party that answers for the result.
Real jobs, not stock photos.
Everything on this page was installed by IP Lynx. The racks below are the same equipment before and after we got to it.
The team other trades call when they're stuck.
When something won't talk to something else and nobody on site can work out why, we get the call. Sometimes from the owner, sometimes from another contractor.
