Some Customer Questions Answered.
What type of CCTV system is best for a home or business in South Africa?
The “best” system isn’t about the most expensive camera; it’s about the one that actually works when you need it. For most, a Network IP system is the gold standard for clarity. However, if your property has older analog wiring that is still in good shape, we can save you costs by using HD-TVI technology. We don’t guess—we walk your property with you to see where the shadows fall and where a criminal would likely hide.
Absolutely. If you can’t see your property while you’re at the shops or away on holiday, the system isn’t doing its job. We set up a secure HikConnect app on your phone that gives you live views and instant push alerts. The Specialist Tip: We also offer Offsite Monitoring, where our control room gets the alert before you do, allowing us to dispatch help while you’re still sleeping.
In South Africa, a security system that dies when the lights go out is just a decoration. We design every system with scaling in mind. Using high-quality UPS systems and dedicated batteries, we ensure can your “eyes” stay open through every stage of loadshedding. We don’t just install cameras; we install peace of mind that can survives the power grid.
We typically aim for 30 to 60 days. However, we don’t just “set and forget” it. We use surveillance-grade hard drives (designed to run 24/7) and can configure your system to record “on motion” to save space, or “continuous” for high-risk areas like cash offices or main entrances.
Why not just buy a DIY kit and do it myself?
A DIY kit might show you a picture, but a professional installation ensures evidence. Most DIYers leave cables exposed (easy to snip) or point cameras in a way that the Pretoria sun blinds the lens at 4 PM. We ensure your wiring is hidden, your blind spots are zero, and your system is legally compliant so the footage actually holds up in court.
Very much so. You don’t want a neighbor suing you for privacy violations. We guide you on the “legal line”—positioning cameras to protect your assets without encroaching on private yards. We also provide the necessary legal signage to ensure you are fully protected under the law.
We don’t believe in “one size fits all.”
Essential: Clear 1080p for basic deterrents.
Advanced (The Specialist Choice): Uses Hikvision AcuSense to ignore the neighbor’s cat but alert you for a human. It also features DarkFighter for color footage in pitch darkness.
Commercial: High-end gear like License Plate Recognition (ANPR) and thermal sensors for large perimeters.
We aren’t a “bakkie brigade” that disappears after the invoice is paid. Our reputation in Pretoria and Centurion is built on support. We offer 24/7 technical help, annual “health checks” to clean lenses and update software, and a fast-response repair team. If your security is down, it’s our priority.
