Peace of mind on a coast full of holiday homes that stand empty for weeks. We design and install HD CCTV: cameras placed where they count, a recorder sized to your needs, and live viewing on your phone from anywhere. Check on the house from Cape Town, or from the office, whenever you like.
We also repair and upgrade existing systems: failed cameras, dodgy recordings, cameras that dropped offline, or footage you can't get to remotely. A lot of our security work is rescuing systems that were sold cheap and set up badly.
Placement is what makes CCTV actually useful: covering the gate, the doors, the blind side of the property: rather than just pointing cameras at a wall. We survey first, plan the coverage, then install weatherproof cameras rated to survive the salt air and night vision that genuinely works after dark.
The recorder (DVR or NVR) is sized for the storage you need, set up for remote viewing and alerts, and configured so you can actually find and play back footage when it matters. We'll walk you through the app so it's not a mystery.
For holiday-home owners we'll set it up so you: and a trusted neighbour or agent: can keep an eye on an empty house through the off-season, and we're a quick local call away if anything needs attention.
Every system is set up so you can actually use it: clear app, sensible alerts, footage that's easy to find when it matters: rather than a complicated setup you give up on after a week. And because we're local, if a camera ever drops offline or needs adjusting, we're a quick call away rather than a city contractor you'll wait days for.

CCTV FAQs
Do you install CCTV in Gansbaai?
Yes, for homes and businesses across Gansbaai and De Kelders, Stanford, Kleinbaai, Franskraal and Pearly Beach. We plan camera positions around what you actually need to see, rather than just fitting a set number of cameras.
Can I view the cameras from my phone?
Yes. Remote viewing is standard now, and it is the main reason people install cameras at a property they are not living in full time.
How long is footage kept?
That depends on the recorder and the number of cameras. We size the storage to the retention you want rather than leaving it to chance.
Will coastal conditions damage the cameras?
They will if the wrong equipment is used. Near Gansbaai we fit weather-rated housings and corrosion-resistant fixings, and we position cameras out of direct salt spray where possible.
Do cameras work during load shedding?
Only if they are backed up. We can put the recorder and cameras on a UPS so they keep running through an outage, which is exactly when people want them working.
Can you add cameras to a system I already have?
Usually yes, if the recorder has spare channels and the existing cabling is sound. We will check before quoting.
