Main Services
Queen City Communications is a Saskatchewan-based technology and security solutions company specializing in rural, agricultural, residential, and commercial surveillance and connectivity systems. Founded by Arthur Koot, the company was built to solve a problem that many rural property owners face: unreliable internet, poor camera performance, and security systems that simply do not work outside city limits. While many providers sell consumer-grade equipment designed for homes in urban areas, Queen City Communications focuses on professional-grade systems engineered to perform in extreme cold, remote locations, and harsh rural environments. Arthur started Queen City Communications after seeing firsthand how often farms, acreages, and rural businesses were left without reliable monitoring or connectivity. Many customers had spent thousands of dollars on systems that failed in winter, dropped connections, or could not transmit video across long distances. Queen City Communications was created to close that gap by delivering real, field-tested solutions that work where others fail. Today, the company serves customers across Saskatchewan and Western Canada, travelling up to four hours from Regina to provide installation, support, and emergency service. What sets Queen City Communications apart is its specialization in long-range, multi-location, and off-grid security systems. The company designs and installs advanced camera networks for farms, calving barns, grain elevators, fertilizer sheds, equipment yards, acreage properties, and remote industrial sites. These systems are not simple plug-and-play cameras. They often include professional Uniview PTZ and turret cameras, wireless point-to-point bridge systems, battery backup solutions, cellular or Starlink internet connections, network switches, surge protection, and remote monitoring tools. Every system is custom-built based on the site layout, distances between buildings, lighting conditions, and the customer’s monitoring needs. Queen City Communications is known for its expertise in cattle calving camera systems, a critical service for Saskatchewan producers. These systems allow ranchers to monitor livestock 24/7, reduce calf loss, and respond quickly to emergencies, even when barns are hundreds or thousands of feet away from the home. Unlike basic consumer cameras, these systems are designed to operate in freezing temperatures, dusty barns, and low-light conditions, while still providing clear, reliable video. Many systems also include long-range wireless links so video can be viewed from the house, shop, or phone without running expensive underground cables. In addition to calving and livestock monitoring, Queen City Communications installs commercial and rural security camera systems for shops, storage yards, self-storage facilities, construction sites, dealerships, and agricultural businesses. These systems often include high-zoom PTZ cameras for long-distance viewing, motion alerts, license plate visibility, and remote access from smartphones and computers. The company also provides mobile surveillance trailer solutions powered by solar and generator systems for temporary sites, remote yards, and construction projects where no power or internet is available. Connectivity is another major focus. Queen City Communications designs and installs wireless point-to-point internet bridge systems that connect multiple buildings across large properties. This allows barns, shops, grain bins, and outbuildings to share one internet connection, eliminating monthly cellular fees and improving reliability. For sites with no wired internet, the company offers cellular and Starlink-based solutions that are professionally mounted, powered, and protected from the elements. Every system is built with reliability in mind. Queen City Communications includes proper power protection, surge suppression, and battery backup options to ensure systems continue operating during outages. The company offers a three-year equipment warranty when systems are installed with battery backup, giving customers confidence that their investment is protected. Unlike large national companies, Queen City Communications is owner-operated. Arthur personally designs systems, performs installations, programs equipment, and provides ongoing support. Customers deal directly with the person who built their system, not a call center or outsourced technician. This hands-on approach allows for faster troubleshooting, custom solutions, and long-term relationships built on trust. Queen City Communications is not just a camera company.
