Offsite CCTV monitoring for Western Cape businesses: control room team watching CCTV screens and a video wall

24/7 CCTV monitoring in Cape Town

We monitor Cape Town business sites around the clock from our own in-house control room. Operators check each alert and follow the response plan agreed for your site, while our Western Cape branch in Marconi Beam, Milnerton installs and looks after the equipment.

Why Cape Town businesses add offsite monitoring

Recorded footage only helps after the loss. Monitoring matters most when a site is empty: a factory in Montague Gardens after the last shift, a CBD office over a long weekend, or a farm or wine estate with a long boundary and nobody near it.

It also suits sites spread across the metro. A group with stores or depots in several suburbs can have every site watched by one control room, working to one set of agreed procedures, instead of relying on separate guards at each.

How our CCTV monitoring works

  1. Step 1Connect your siteYour cameras connect to our control room over the internet. An AI device on site can link to existing cameras on any system capable of an RTSP stream.
  2. Step 2Set the rulesWe agree what should raise an alert, such as a person at the perimeter or a vehicle in the yard after hours, and what to ignore.
  3. Step 3Check every alertWith black screen monitoring, screens stay blank until your system detects something that matches your rules, so operators see only what needs attention.
  4. Step 4Respond to your planIf an alert is genuine, the operator follows your agreed response plan, which can include SAPS, armed response, keyholders and on-site staff.

Our control room runs on fibre with LTE failover, redundant servers and a standby technical team. Read more about CCTV monitoring, or see inside our control room.
