Company Description
Zedcor Inc. (ZDCAF) is a security and protection services company focused on disrupting the traditional physical security industry through its proprietary MobileyeZ™ security towers. According to the company, it provides turnkey and customized mobile surveillance and live monitoring solutions to blue-chip customers across North America. Zedcor’s business centers on deploying and operating its MobileyeZ security towers and related technology-enabled security offerings in Canada and the United States.
Core business and MobileyeZ™ platform
Zedcor describes its MobileyeZ security towers as the foundation of its security platform. These units are deployed across customer sites throughout North America, with a focus on growth in the United States alongside an established Canadian base. The company highlights strong utilization of its fleet of towers and ongoing expansion of that fleet as key operational priorities. It also reports that its security and surveillance services have seen strong demand, with utilization rates often exceeding 90% across its tower fleet during various reporting periods.
The company emphasizes that its services are customer and industry agnostic, and that it has diversified its customer base across construction, retail security, logistics and other segments. Zedcor notes significant customer wins in the residential home building segment in both the U.S. and Canada, as well as expanded deployments for a leading North American home improvement retailer in Canada. It also references work with logistics and homebuilding companies in Canada and the United States and a large furniture retailer in the Southeast United States.
Geographic footprint and operations
Zedcor services the Canadian market through equipment and service centers located in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario. In the United States, the company has been executing a strategic expansion, initially focused on Texas and Colorado and then extending into additional regions. It reports locations throughout Texas and in Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada and Jacksonville, Florida, with capacity to service markets throughout the Southern U.S., Midwest and West Coast. The company has also referenced groundwork to support market penetration in California and Florida.
Manufacturing and monitoring capabilities are an important part of Zedcor’s model. The company manufactures its Solar MobileyeZ security towers from a facility in Houston, Texas. Over time, it has reported increasing production capacity, including milestones such as manufacturing 25 towers per week, then 35 units per week, and later reaching a weekly production capacity of 50 towers. Zedcor has also highlighted the production of its 1,000th tower from the Houston facility and a new Houston manufacturing facility that increases floor space by 50%, providing the option to significantly expand production capacity.
In addition to manufacturing, Zedcor is developing centralized monitoring infrastructure. It has described a state-of-the-art monitoring center in Houston that services towers across multiple U.S. markets, and a 24/7 Live, Verified™ video monitoring center associated with its expanded operations. The company has also signed a lease for a 15,000 square foot monitoring center in Houston, with staffing and capacity to expand as demand grows.
Technology and AI-at-the-edge
Zedcor repeatedly emphasizes the role of technology in its security offerings, including the use of upgraded cameras with AI at-the-edge. The company attributes increased operational efficiency and improved margins in part to these AI-enabled cameras. It has also reported securing graphics processing units (GPUs) in a central data center to expand its artificial intelligence capabilities and support AI-at-the-edge developments. These technology investments are described as contributing to data-supported efficiency outcomes and enhanced security performance.
Beyond the MobileyeZ towers, Zedcor has introduced wall-mounted ZBox units in Canada. The company has reported growth in deployments of ZBox units and has characterized the ZBox as a newly designed, wall-mounted security product that has gained market adoption. Zedcor positions these developments as part of its ongoing product innovation within its broader security platform.
Customer base and market segments
Zedcor reports that it serves blue-chip customers across North America. It has highlighted growth within new and existing customers in logistics and homebuilding in Canada and the United States, as well as deployments for a large furniture retailer in the Southeast United States. The company notes that its services are used in residential home construction, retail security and logistics, and that it has diversified away from a prior concentration in pipeline construction customers.
The company has also referenced enterprise-level sales efforts, including national account contracts and trials with large enterprise retailers. For example, it has reported signing national account paperwork with the largest homebuilder in the U.S., an existing customer, enabling accelerated tower deployments. Zedcor has also described ongoing trials and advanced request-for-proposal (RFP) processes with several large enterprise accounts in the United States.
Growth strategy and capital resources
Zedcor’s reported strategy focuses on expanding its MobileyeZ tower fleet, increasing manufacturing capacity, and broadening its geographic footprint. The company has set manufacturing targets for security towers and has repeatedly reported record quarterly revenue and adjusted EBITDA as its fleet and customer base expand. It has emphasized that growth has been driven by its U.S. expansion, diversification of its customer base across the U.S. and Canada, and the production and deployment of MobileyeZ towers.
To support this growth, Zedcor has undertaken equity financings and arranged credit facilities. The company has reported completing equity financings and entering into credit agreements, including a commitment letter with a lender providing a revolving operating loan and a non-revolving reducing term loan, and later a new $50 million revolving credit facility with a Canadian bank. These facilities are described as supporting working capital, capital expenditures, organic growth initiatives and general corporate purposes, and as refinancing existing debt while increasing available capital.
Fleet utilization and operational metrics
Across multiple reporting periods, Zedcor has highlighted strong utilization rates for its MobileyeZ fleet, often above 90%, and near full utilization in certain U.S. markets. The company has also reported year-over-year growth in the number of deployed towers, including fleet sizes in the thousands and significant year-over-year percentage increases. It has described record daily revenue from its fleet and strong contribution margins in Canada, with continued U.S. growth contributing to overall performance.
While specific financial figures and quarterly metrics change over time, the company consistently attributes revenue growth to its strategic U.S. expansion, diversification of its customer base, and the scaling of its MobileyeZ tower fleet. It also notes that as the fleet and geographic footprint expand, risk related to customer and industry concentration has decreased.
Position within security & protection services
Within the security and protection services industry, Zedcor positions itself as a provider of mobile surveillance and live monitoring solutions built around its proprietary MobileyeZ security towers and related technology, including AI-enabled cameras and centralized monitoring centers. The company’s disclosures emphasize recurring revenue from tower deployments, strong utilization, and a focus on service levels, operational efficiency and product innovation.
According to its public statements, Zedcor intends to continue expanding its fleet, manufacturing capacity and geographic presence in both Canada and the United States, while investing in AI capabilities and enterprise-level customer relationships.
