Do you have a branch in Pretoria?

Pretoria and Centurion are served by our Gauteng branch at 23 Linksfield Rd, Dunvegan, Edenvale, 1609. Our Gauteng installation and support team works across Tshwane. Call (011) 454-5440 or email cctv@cctvgauteng.co.za.

Is CCTV Security Surveillance PSIRA registered and SAIDSA accredited?

Yes. CCTV Security Surveillance is PSIRA registered under number 4412150 and is a SAIDSA Grade A accredited installer under number ASP-1571. You can verify both independently with PSIRA and SAIDSA.

Can you supply government, diplomatic and institutional sites in Pretoria?

Yes. We design and install CCTV and access control for institutional sites and work to each site's own security, access and procurement requirements. We are PSIRA registered, SAIDSA accredited and B-BBEE Level 2 (125% procurement recognition), and supporting documents are available on request for tenders and supplier onboarding.

What security do automotive plants and suppliers in Rosslyn and Silverton need?

Automotive and component sites usually need licence plate recognition on every gate, identify-level cameras on component stores and dispatch, observe-level coverage over finished-vehicle and parts yards, access control for staff and contractors, perimeter detection and 24/7 offsite monitoring. Gate records also help reconcile just-in-time deliveries.

How do you secure multi-tenant office parks in Centurion?

Office parks such as those in Highveld Techno Park, Eco Park and Route 21 typically combine LPR at the main gate, tenant access control on each building, lobby and parking coverage, and centralised monitoring, often integrated with the park's existing guarding and estate management.

What camera resolution does a Pretoria business need?

It depends on what each camera must show. Under the IEC 62676-4 DORI framework, detecting a person needs about 25 pixels per metre, observing activity about 62, recognising a known person about 125 and identifying a stranger about 250. We specify each camera by the pixel density its job needs rather than by megapixels alone.

How do you keep CCTV running through power outages in Tshwane?

Pretoria installations are designed with inverter and solar backup sized for cameras, recorders, network switches and gate motors together, plus protected cabling, so the site keeps recording through load shedding, cable theft and local supply failures.

Do you offer 24/7 offsite monitoring for Pretoria sites?

Yes. Our AI-filtered offsite monitoring runs from our own in-house control room. AI analytics raise alerts only for defined events, and trained operators verify each one before escalating to site management, armed response or SAPS.

Can you manage Pretoria and other Gauteng sites from one system?

Yes. Businesses with sites in Pretoria, Midrand, Johannesburg or the East Rand can view, manage and monitor every location from a single multi-site platform.

Is workplace CCTV legal under POPIA?

Yes, when it is done correctly. POPIA requires a defined purpose, visible signage, restricted access to footage and a retention period you can justify, and cameras must not cover private areas such as toilets or change rooms. We set these up at handover.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Pretoria?

Cost depends on site size, the number of gates, entrances and buildings, camera and access control device count, and whether monitoring, perimeter protection or backup power is included. A free on-site assessment gives you an accurate, itemised quote.

How does a Pretoria site assessment work?

Our Gauteng team visits your Pretoria or Centurion site at a time that suits you, walks it zone by zone, and follows up with a written design and itemised quote before any work is scheduled. The assessment is free.

Security Risks Specific to Pretoria

!Unauthorised entry and tailgating at government, diplomatic and institutional buildings with heavy daily visitor traffic
!Theft of components, tools and finished stock from automotive and manufacturing sites in Rosslyn, Silverton and Waltloo
!After-hours break-ins at office and tech parks in Centurion, Menlyn and Hatfield once staff have left
!Truck hijacking and cargo theft on the N1, N4 and R21 routes serving Samrand and the industrial areas
!Cable theft and local power failures that knock out gates, cameras and access control

What Pretoria Organisations Need

✓Access control and visitor management with a full audit trail, linked to camera footage at every entrance
✓Identify-level cameras at receptions, turnstiles and gates so every visitor and vehicle can be accounted for
✓Licence plate recognition and yard coverage for automotive, manufacturing and logistics sites
✓24/7 verified monitoring for office parks and industrial sites that are empty after hours
✓Inverter or solar backup sized for cameras, recorders and gate motors, so security survives outages

Why Pretoria Needs a Different Security Approach

Pretoria is South Africa's administrative capital. The Union Buildings, national government departments and one of the largest diplomatic communities in the world sit across the CBD, Arcadia, Brooklyn and Waterkloof, alongside universities, research institutions and hospitals in Hatfield and beyond. On these sites the security question is less "what happened?" and more "who came in, when, and were they allowed to?", so access control, visitor management and an audit trail linked to video are at the centre of every design.

The city is also a major industrial centre. Rosslyn is home to large automotive assembly plants and their suppliers, the Silverton area hosts vehicle manufacturing and the Tshwane Automotive Special Economic Zone, and Waltloo and Pretoria West carry heavy industry and warehousing. To the south, Centurion's Highveld Techno Park, Eco Park, Route 21 and Irene hold corporate head offices and tech firms, while Samrand serves logistics along the N1. Each of these site types needs a different mix of cameras, access control and monitoring, so we design by site rather than applying one package across the city.

Pretoria & Centurion Areas We Serve

CBD, Arcadia & Sunnyside

Government departments, state entities and professional offices. Priorities are controlled public entrances, visitor management, lobby coverage and integration with existing guarding.

Brooklyn, Waterkloof & Lynnwood

Diplomatic missions, embassies' support offices, NGOs and upmarket commercial property. Discreet perimeter coverage, gate LPR and access control with a clear audit trail are typical.

Hatfield & Menlyn

Universities, student accommodation, retail and mixed-use office nodes. Common needs are multi-entrance access control, parking LPR and centralised monitoring across buildings.

Rosslyn & Pretoria West

Automotive assembly, component suppliers and heavy industry. Gate LPR, component-store access control, yard coverage and perimeter detection protect stock and finished vehicles.

Silverton & Waltloo

Vehicle manufacturing, the automotive SEZ, engineering and warehousing. Long boundaries, busy delivery gates and after-hours risk make perimeter analytics and 24/7 monitoring standard.

Centurion, Irene & Samrand

Office and tech parks such as Highveld Techno Park, Eco Park and Route 21, plus N1 logistics in Samrand. Park-gate LPR, tenant access control, server-room security and dock coverage are typical.

Typical Pretoria System Designs

These are representative designs for three of the most common site types in Tshwane. Final designs always follow an on-site assessment, so camera counts and specifications will vary.

Institutional building, Arcadia

Public-facing offices with a steady flow of visitors, contractors and staff.

Entrance: turnstiles or access-controlled doors with visitor registration
Reception: identify-level cameras on every visitor entry point
Parking: LPR on the staff and visitor gates, linked to access lists
Audit: every access event searchable alongside its video clip

Automotive supplier, Rosslyn

Just-in-time deliveries, valuable components and a busy dispatch yard.

Gate: LPR and overview cameras on inbound and outbound lanes
Stores: access control and recognise-level cameras on component stores
Dispatch: wide dynamic range cameras on each loading bay
Perimeter: AI detection with 24/7 verified monitoring after hours

Office park, Centurion

Several buildings and tenants sharing one main gate and parking.

Main gate: LPR for tenants and pre-registered visitors
Buildings: tenant access control on each lobby and floor
Parking: observe-level coverage across open and basement parking
Server rooms: access-controlled with identify-level cameras on the door

How We Specify Each Camera: The DORI Standard

A higher megapixel count does not guarantee usable footage. What matters is how many pixels fall on a person or vehicle at the distance they will be seen. We design every Pretoria camera position against the DORI levels in the international standard IEC 62676-4.

Level	Pixel density	What the footage shows	Typical Pretoria use
Detect	25 px/m	That a person or vehicle is present	Perimeters in Rosslyn, Silverton and Waltloo
Observe	62 px/m	What someone is doing	Office-park parking, yards, warehouse aisles
Recognise	125 px/m	A person already known to staff	Staff entrances, lift lobbies, component stores
Identify	250 px/m	An unknown person, to evidential standard	Receptions, turnstiles, visitor gates, server rooms

Our Installation Process in Pretoria

Many Pretoria sites cannot simply close while security is upgraded. Government and institutional buildings run to their own access rules, factories run shifts, and office parks have tenants to keep informed. Our process is built around that, and leaves you with a system that is documented, compliant and supported.

1. Free Site Assessment

We walk the site with you, map entrances, gates, stores and the perimeter, and note power, network and any site-specific access or procurement requirements.

2. Zone-by-Zone Design

Each camera is specified by DORI level, with access control, visitor management, LPR and analytics added where they strengthen the audit trail.

3. Power & Connectivity

Structured cabling for buildings, wireless links across large sites, and inverter or solar backup sized for the full security system.

4. Installation Around Operations

Our own Gauteng team installs in phases around office hours, shifts or tenant schedules, then tests every camera, reader and alert.

5. Handover, Training & POPIA

Your team is trained on viewing, search and access reports, remote access is set up, and POPIA signage, user rights and retention are configured.

6. Ongoing Support

Our Gauteng support team covers Pretoria and Centurion for servicing, expansions and fault callouts, with maintenance agreed in writing.

Pretoria Crime Patterns and How We Design for Them

SAPS crime statistics and local reporting for Tshwane point to risks aimed at access, stock and infrastructure as much as at buildings. We use these patterns to decide where cameras, access control, perimeter detection and backup power go on each site.

Incident type	Where it is most referenced	What we recommend
Unauthorised access and tailgating	CBD, Arcadia, Hatfield institutional buildings	Turnstiles or controlled doors, visitor management and identify-level cameras at entry
Business burglary after hours	Centurion, Menlyn and Hatfield office nodes	AI perimeter and building analytics with 24/7 verified monitoring
Stock, component and vehicle theft	Rosslyn, Silverton, Waltloo, Pretoria West	Gate LPR, access-controlled stores, yard coverage and perimeter detection
Cable theft and power failures	Across Tshwane, affecting power and connectivity	Inverter or solar backup, protected cabling and camera power independent of the grid

Patterns drawn from SAPS crime statistics and local community reporting. Used for context and system design only; confirm current conditions with your local SAPS station or business security forum.

Sets the pixel density for each camera, so reception, gate and perimeter footage is fit for its purpose and usable as evidence.

SANS 10222-3 & EFC

Electric fences are built to SANS 10222-3 and handed over with an Electrical Fence System Certificate (EFC).

POPIA

Workplace CCTV and visitor records need a defined purpose, signage, restricted access and justified retention, and cameras must never cover toilets or change rooms.

Procurement ready

PSIRA and SAIDSA registration and a B-BBEE Level 2 certificate are available on request for tenders and supplier onboarding.

What to Ask Any Pretoria Security Installer

Use this checklist to compare proposals, whether or not you choose us.

What is your PSIRA number? Then check it on psira.co.za.
Are you SAIDSA accredited? Your insurer may insist on it.
What is your B-BBEE level? It matters for public-sector and corporate procurement.
Will you assess the site in person? A proposal without a site visit is guesswork.
What DORI level is each camera designed for? Megapixels alone do not answer this.
Can access events be searched with their video? That audit trail is what institutions need.
Who monitors after hours, and from where? Ask whether the control room is in-house.
What happens during an outage? Backup power should be in the design, not an extra.
