Is it armed or dangerous?

No. It observes, reports, and deters with light and sound.

Will it replace my guards?

No. Robots reduce guard hours and close gaps between rounds; they don't replace the judgment of a good guard.

Can it work in rain and snow?

Industrial quadrupeds are rated IP67 against dust and water and operate from -20 °C to 55 °C, according to the manufacturer. Quadrupeds struggle in deep mud and heavy snow; tracked platforms are built for it.

What if someone steals or damages it?

It's tracked, recorded from several angles, and alarmed.

Can it open doors or use elevators?

No. It needs a planned route, a charging spot, and a site that isn't completely rearranged every day without telling us.

Is it recording audio?

It carries two-way audio so an operator can challenge an intruder by voice. We set recording rules with you during the site survey.

How does it handle workers on site during the day?

Routes, schedules, and no-go zones are set during mapping, so patrols run around your crews — most sites run robots overnight.

Pricing depends on the site, the route, and the hours covered. Contact us for a quote.

Now booking pilot sites for 2027. We're selecting a small number of Ontario construction and industrial sites for the first deployments.

The patrol that never skips a round.

Robot dogs for stairs, floors, and tight spaces. Tracked and all-terrain unmanned vehicles for mud, gravel, and snow. Both carry cameras and thermal sensors, both report to KingsGuard's live operators, and both are coming to Ontario sites through our pilot program.

Why us

Why a security company is doing this, not a robotics company

A robot that finds an intruder and has nobody to tell is an expensive toy.

The hard part of robotic security was never the robot. It's everything behind it: an operator who sees the alert within seconds, verifies it, speaks through the robot, calls police with a verified-crime-in-progress report, and sends a person when a person is needed. KingsGuard has run exactly that operation since 2015, with licensed guards, 24/7 monitoring, and construction sites across Ontario under protection. Robots are a new patrol unit on a response system that already works.

Two very different machines, one response system.

Robot dogs (quadrupeds)

Four-legged robots go where wheels can't: stairwells, unfinished floors, scaffolding decks, mechanical rooms, and cluttered yards. Industrial models are built for the job. Unitree's B2, for example, is rated IP67 against dust and water, operates from -20 °C to 55 °C, climbs stairs, handles slopes beyond 45°, and walks for more than four hours on a charge, according to the manufacturer. With 3D LiDAR and depth cameras it maps a building and repeats the same patrol route floor by floor. For a multi-storey building under construction, that means every level gets checked every round, which is something even a diligent guard struggles to do overnight.

Tracked and all-terrain ground robots

On open ground, a wheeled or tracked unmanned ground vehicle carries more and runs longer. These are the "tanks": low, heavy platforms that push through mud, gravel, ruts, and snow with a mast of cameras, lights, and speakers on top. Some of the most capable platforms in the world are built here in Kitchener by Clearpath Robotics, a Rockwell Automation company, down the road from our head office. Clearpath lists its Husky A300 at 100 kg of payload and 8 hours of runtime, extendable to 16–24 hours, with autonomous outdoor navigation, and its larger Warthog at 272 kg of payload for soft soil, thick mud, and steep grades. That endurance suits perimeter loops on big sites: laydown yards, solar farms, compounds, and plant perimeters.

On board

What every KingsGuard robot carries

Pan-tilt-zoom and thermal cameras

For detecting people in total darkness.

LiDAR

For navigation and mapping.

Two-way audio

So an operator can challenge an intruder by voice.

Lights and a siren

Deterrence without a person on site.

Cellular connectivity

So it works on sites with no network.

How it works

How a robotic patrol works

01
Map
We walk the robot through the site once to build a 3D map and set patrol routes, checkpoints, and no-go zones.
02
Patrol
It runs those routes on schedule or at random intervals, returning to its charger between rounds.
03
Detect
Onboard analytics flag a person, a vehicle, an open gate, or a heat signature where there shouldn't be one.
04
Verify
The alert and live video reach a KingsGuard operator, who takes a look and, if needed, takes remote control.
05
Deter
The operator speaks through the robot, turns on lights and siren, and keeps the intruder in view.
06
Respond
Police, mobile patrol, or the on-site guard are dispatched with verified information.
07
Report
Every round is logged with time, route, and checkpoints, giving you proof of patrol that can't be fudged.

Choosing the right tool

Every tool is weak somewhere.

	Fixed cameras	Guard	Docked drone	Robot dog	Tracked / all-terrain robot
Best at	Constant watch on known points	Judgment, access control, people	Large open areas, fast response	Stairs, interiors, multi-storey	Long outdoor perimeters, rough ground
Weak at	Blind spots, anything that moves	Cost per hour, fatigue, big areas	Indoors, urban airspace, bad storms	Deep mud, long distances	Stairs, tight interiors
Works in dark	With IR / thermal models	Limited	Yes, thermal	Yes, thermal	Yes, thermal
Proof of patrol	n/a	Checkpoint scans	Flight logs	Route logs	Route logs
Human needed	To monitor	Yes	Remote pilot + operator	Remote operator	Remote operator

Most sites end up with a mix. A typical large construction project might run fixed Verkada cameras at the gates, a robot dog through the structure, a tracked robot or drone on the perimeter, and one guard instead of three, with our operators watching all of it.

Candour

An honest list of what robots can't do

They don't make arrests, check ID, or sign in a delivery. They don't replace the judgment of a good guard. Quadrupeds struggle in deep mud and heavy snow; tracked robots can't climb stairs; both need a charging spot, a planned route, and a site that isn't completely rearranged every day without telling us. Robots reduce guard hours and close gaps. They work best alongside people, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling hardware.

Due diligence

Seven questions to ask any robotic security vendor

01
Who is watching the alerts at 3 a.m., and are they licensed security professionals?
02
What happens between “robot detects a person” and “police are on the way”, and how long does it take?
03
What are the robot's real ingress-protection and temperature ratings, and has it worked through a Canadian winter?
04
How does it connect on a site with no Wi-Fi?
05
What happens when it falls over, gets stuck, or is attacked?
06
Does its video land in the same platform as my cameras, or is it another login?
07
Who repairs it, how fast, and is there a spare?

We're happy to answer all seven for our own program.

The pilot program

A small number of sites, close attention.

We're opening the program with a small number of sites so that each one gets close attention.

A site survey and route design
A deployment alongside their existing KingsGuard coverage
Weekly performance reporting
First access and preferred pricing when the program opens fully

We're looking for active construction sites, industrial yards, and large facilities in Ontario with overnight security needs. Contact us to talk through a pilot on your site.

Questions

Common questions.

Site connectivity

No internet on site? We bring it.

Cellular, 5G, satellite, and point-to-point links, plus UniFi networking and solar nodes, so the cameras, alarms, drones, and guard reporting work on day one.
