Security cameras & WiFi in Jarvis
Jarvis is a highway junction, and highway-junction businesses have a security problem that farms do not: a constant stream of people who do not live there.

What this does and does not tell you.These are licensed radio sites from ISED’s spectrum database — where carriers are permitted to transmit. It is not measured coverage. A site three kilometres away can be useless if it is behind a rise or its antennas point elsewhere, and a distant one on a tall tower with clear line of sight can be perfectly good. Whether a booster will work at your address comes down to what actually reaches your roof, which is a survey, not a calculation. ISED spectrum licence data, fetched 2026-09-11.
What the work looks like in Jarvis
The Highway 6 and Highway 3 crossing puts a lot of traffic through a very small village. For the fuel, food and service businesses on that strip, cameras are not about a rural break-in six months from now — they are about daily incidents, disputes, and insurance claims where footage is the only thing that settles it. That means camera placement and retention matter more than raw camera count.
Away from the junction, Jarvis is farmland waiting on fibre. Until the Metro Loop build reaches it, satellite and fixed wireless are what is available, and camera systems here need to be built so they are not dependent on that uplink staying up.
What people here ask for
- Commercial cameras for highway-strip businesses — retention and placement, not just coverage
- Local-recording systems that survive an unreliable uplink
- Farm property coverage on the surrounding concessions
