Alarm systems mostly. Access control. Fire Alarm. CCTV.

I passed by the building where I recall seeing "Silent Witness" (CCTV
products) some time ago.
I think they're gone or moved.
Then I found this..

Surrey, BC: September 12, 2001 - Silent Witness (NASDAQ: SILW / TSE:
SWE), a leading provider of video monitoring technology, announced
that it has purchased the CCTV Products Division of Gyyr, Inc.,
including digital and analog storage solutions and network-based
remote video surveillance. The purchase price totaled U.S. $8.9
million plus the assumption of U.S.$1 million in debt. This
transaction couples Gyyr's proprietary recording and networking
technologies with Silent Witness' distinct line of CCTV cameras. '

I have to wonder if the company flopped and sold for cheap. :P

Don't think they "sold for cheap". Silent Witness "started" in a
two-car garage. A genuine "BC grown" success that didn't involve
something you roll in a bong. :-)

Neato... I'm trying to start the same thing.
Either I'll flop or become a successful company or sell the business
if the deal is sweet.

I wonder what the founders of Silent Witness are doing right now?
Maybe they're on the beach sipping cocktails while bikini models
spread on the suntan lotion. :P
