Illustrative site overview. Each system we install is monitored and supported by our team.
Services
Five systems, one provider.
Many businesses rely on a separate vendor for each of these systems. We design, install, and support all five, so they work together and there is a single point of contact for service.
Business networking and Wi-Fi
Ubiquiti UniFi networks designed for full-building coverage, secure segmentation, and remote management.
Security cameras
UniFi Protect camera systems with local recording, high-resolution video, and no recurring cloud fees.
Door access control
UniFi Access readers, electric locks, and intercoms, with credentials and schedules you manage yourself.
Business phone systems
FreePBX and 3CX telephone systems, together with the telephone service itself. We provide the SIP trunks, numbers, and monthly service on a single invoice.
Alarm and security systems
Honeywell/Resideo and Paradox alarm systems with mobile app control and no-cost self-monitoring, plus communicator upgrades for existing panels.
Complete projects
For a new building, a renovation, or a full replacement, we scope all of the required systems together and deliver them as a single project.

Infrastructure, not IT support.
Switchyard installs and supports the physical and network infrastructure of a business premises: cabling, networking, Wi-Fi, internet connectivity, cameras, door access, telephone systems, and alarm systems.
We are not an IT support company. We do not provide computer, server, printer, email, software, or end-user support. Where a customer has an IT provider, we work alongside them, and the network we install is documented so that they can support the systems that run on it.
Local service
Installed by our own technicians. Supported by the same people.
National providers typically ship equipment and route support through a call centre. We are based in St. Thomas. We install every system ourselves, document it, and remain responsible for it afterward. When on-site service is required, a technician who already knows your premises attends.
- A site visit before every quote, so pricing reflects the actual building
- Clean, labelled installations with documentation provided to you
- Remote monitoring and management of every system we install
- On-site service throughout St. Thomas, Elgin County, and London
- No long-term contracts on hardware you own
Design
We survey the premises, confirm requirements such as door count, cabling, and Wi-Fi coverage, and plan the system around how the business operates.
Installation
Cabling, mounting, rack work, and configuration, completed to schedule with minimal disruption to your operations.
Support
Remote management, scheduled updates, and direct access to a technician when a problem arises.
Expansion
Additional cameras, doors, phones, or locations are added to the existing system without replacing it.
