24/7 CCTV monitoring in Durban and KwaZulu-Natal

We monitor Durban and KwaZulu-Natal 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 branch in Briardene, Durban North installs and looks after the equipment.

Why Durban businesses add offsite monitoring

Durban's port economy keeps stock in yards, depots and cold stores, much of it at night and over weekends when few people are on site. Monitoring turns cameras at gates, fence lines and dock doors into something that can trigger a response while an incident is happening, rather than footage to review the next morning.

It also reaches sites where a guard is hard to justify. Offices and estates north of the city, and farms and rural sites inland, can connect to the same control room, using solar power and wireless links where needed.

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.
