Quick answer
What is the best home security setup in South Africa?
The most effective setup is layered: a perimeter layer (electric fence, beams), a detection layer (alarm sensors, AI cameras), a response layer (panic buttons, monitoring, armed response) and backup power so it all works during load-shedding.
We assess your home, show you where the real risks are and quote a system that fits your budget, with room to add more later.

inspection + quote
Whether it is CCTV, access control, alarms, electric fencing, printers, computers or fibre, you pay one fixed call-out of R650. It covers the visit, a full site inspection and an itemised written quote – so the price you approve is built around your property, not a guess. The call-out is charged on every visit and is not deducted from your quote or invoice.

FAQs
Home Security Systems – questions answered
Straight answers from our technicians. Every site is different – your written quote confirms the details.
How much does a complete home security system cost?
A basic alarm starts from R3,795 installed and a 4-camera HD CCTV system from R7,995. Combined packages with beams and electric fencing are quoted after our R650 call-out (site inspection and written quote included) because they depend on your perimeter length and layout.
Will a home security system lower my insurance premium?
Many insurers offer discounts or require a monitored alarm and burglar bars. We provide installation certificates and documentation your insurer may ask for.
Can I control everything from one app?
Yes. We design systems so your alarm, cameras and, where compatible, gate and intercom are managed from one or two apps.
Do outdoor beams cause false alarms?
Correctly installed beams with pet-tolerant settings and proper alignment are very reliable. We test them on handover and adjust for pets and plants.
Can you add to my existing alarm?
Usually yes – we can add beams, cameras, panic buttons or app control to many existing alarm panels, or advise when an upgrade makes more sense.
