It is of course possible the have your own on-site monitoring control room, but the required capital investment will be significant, running into hundreds of thousands of Rands. Acquiring back-up power is not cheap, and then there is the recurring monthly expense of staff salaries and managing headaches.
Outsourcing to a professional CCTV monitoring company such as Vigilant is much more affordable, it eliminates staff and labour issues, it is reliable and stress free, and it allows you time to focus on your core business while we take care of managing your surveillance, and managing your security risks.
Secondly, outsourcing your video surveillance system is way cheaper than employing the services of a patrol guard and, because cameras gives you eyes and ears across your entire premises every single moment it is not only cheaper, but much more effective than a guard which is only in one place at a time.
Another benefit of our monitoring system's intelligent analytics and 24 hour CCTV smart functions such as intrusion detection means your security becomes pro-active and preventative action is taken immediately, thus preventing crime, as opposed to having to look at recorded images after the fact.
Because the advanced CCTV systems we install are fully integratable, leveraging IP technology, means you can centralize your security requirements with two-way audio, alarm system control and access control.
