Proactive Offsite Monitoring & Remote Surveillance in Pretoria and Centurion
Don’t just record a break-in—prevent it. Our Offsite Monitoring Center uses AI to turn your CCTV system into a digital guard, providing real-time intervention and verified armed response.
AI-Triggered Server Based Hik-Central Monitoring
Human operators cannot stare at dozens of screens without fatigue. We solve this with AI Event Monitoring.
The Hik-Central difference: The server based Hik-Central software monitors your cameras and when the AI detects a verified human or vehicle breach it activates the alarms on Smart Wall. This ensures 100% focus on real threats. Smart wall technology is similar in usage as Black Screen monitoring but with complete control over live streams, access control and alarms.
Rapid Response Protocol (RRP): Because our operators see the intruder, we provide Visual Verification to armed response companies. This often results in an “In-Process” dispatch.
Voice-Down Intervention
The most effective way to stop a criminal is to let them know they are being watched.
Live Audio Warning: If your CCTV system is equipped with this technology, our operators can speak directly through your on-site speakers: “Unauthorized individual at the North Perimeter, you are under surveillance. Armed Response has been dispatched.”
Active Deterrence: We can remotely trigger your on-site sirens and strobe lights the moment a perimeter breach is confirmed.
Connectivity & Power Redundancy
A monitoring link is only as good as its uptime. We specialize in providing solutions for permanent connectivity. Including solar, off grid or battery backups.
We utilize both Fiber and Wi-Fi connections provided primarily by Level 7 Internet with a stable connection. Usually, 50/50 Mbps for small to medium systems. Static IP addresses are required.
Cloud Event Logging: If your system supports this function, it may be activated. Footage is kept for 30 days in the server and conforms to POPIA act regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
An alarm tells you something happened. Offsite Monitoring tells you exactly what is happening. It allows us to verify if it’s a real intruder or just a stray animal before dispatching expensive response teams.
A stable Fiber or high-speed Wi-Fi connection is recommended. We optimize your system’s “bitrate” to ensure smooth, high-definition streaming to our control room without slowing down your home internet.
Yes. If your Hikvision system is IP-based or a modern Analog (TVI) system with a network connection, we can usually “link” it to our surveillance center.
Absolutely. We act as a “Responsible Party” under POPIA. All footage is encrypted, access is strictly logged, and data is only shared with law enforcement during a verified incident.
No, it enhances it. We work with your preferred armed response provider by giving them live tactical intel (e.g., “Suspect is hiding behind the generator”) as they arrive on the scene. We give them eyes.
Yes. You still have full access via your Hikconnect app. Our monitoring is a professional layer that works in the background to ensure you aren’t bothered by false alarms.
