“Smile, you’re on camera” is no longer a popular 90s saying but a warning that you are being watched by hundreds of thousands of CCTV monitoring systems installed across South Africa. CCTV monitoring systems are everywhere—in shopping malls, estates, streets, businesses, recording the good and the bad, 24 hours a day, in crystal clear high definition (HD).

Security professionals, such as Servest, use CCTV monitoring systems for on and off-site monitoring as a crime-prevention tool. And because of technological advancement and enhanced video capabilities and quality, we can identify and prevent potential threats.

Here’s how technology has improved CCTV monitoring systems to benefit business security.

1. High definition is power

South Africa’s high crime rate is a sad reality, making businesses and their valuable assets a prime target. High-quality CCTV monitoring systems are guaranteed to record everything in crystal clear imagery, even the smallest detail, and during bad weather.

2. Enhanced night mode

Infrared mode captures footage even in poorly lit areas and is ideal for after-hours monitoring of a building’s exterior. And the video quality is excellent.

3. Digital and cloud storage

Information is no longer stored in megabytes, but terabytes. CCTV recordings can be automatically uploaded and saved onto the desired storage systems. Doing so makes it easy to reference footage when needed.

4. On and off-site monitoring

State-of-the-art security solutions make remote monitoring easier and better. Professionals can view footage from the palm of their hands, any time of day or night.

High quality and advanced CCTV monitoring systems with on and off-site support can help protect your premises, assets, and people.
