Home security is a must in South Africa. We all face the reality of break-ins and theft, which is why the private security companies in our communities are the go-to for making us feel safe.
However, before hastily signing up for a security service, our specialists at Monitor Net suggest consulting with a prospective company to better understand the service you are getting.
This article will discuss a few service-specific elements explained in a consultation with our security company.
Assessing Your Security Needs
Every property, whether a home, business, or commercial space, has a unique layout with differing security elements that can be implemented.
Most importantly, as the client, you should assess what you want from your security services, such as access control, alarm monitoring and armed response.
A one-size-fits-all approach to security isn’t needed in every case, and this is where consulting with a security company becomes invaluable.
Consider these few things when enquiring about security services:
- amount of entry points to monitor (alarm triggers, CCTV cameras)
- blind spots for surveillance (CCTV cameras)
- property size for access control and perimeter protection (alarm systems, electric fence, beams, etc.)
- additional response measures (panic buttons)
Monitor Net’s Approach
When you consult with Monitor Net, you’re not getting any old security package—you’re getting a solution designed to protect what matters most to you.
Our experts take the time:
- to assess your property,
- understand your concerns,
- and recommend the most effective systems and services.
This personalised approach ensures that you have the appropriate security in place, whether it’s surveillance cameras, alarm systems, security guards or a combination of different elements.
Monitor Net’s Services
Security is supposed to be an interconnected solution designed to protect you.
At Monitor Net, we’ve designed our services to be holistic, meaning each service structure complements the next. This ensures that from the initial consultation to the final response, every part of your security system works together to provide you with the highest level of protection.
Professionalism is at the core of everything we do. Each department within Monitor Net, from technical installations to monitoring and response, is committed to delivering knowledgeable and effective service. This interconnected approach ensures that the product is installed correctly, maintained regularly, and monitored efficiently, so you’re always protected.
1. Technical Installations
Even the best products are ineffective if they’re not installed correctly.
At Monitor Net, our technicians are experts in their field. They ensure that all the security systems are installed and tested on-site, making sure you’re set up and ready to go.
Being strict with our installation and double-checking procedures guarantees that your system is effective when we’re done.
A poorly installed system can fail, and we don’t want that to happen when you need it most.
2. Maintenance and Technical Support
A security system is only as good as its maintenance.
Security systems will experience issues over time. Monitor Net offers our clients ongoing technical support to ensure their security systems remain operational 24/7. Our maintenance teams are always on standby, ready to provide support and repairs, even after hours.
We are dedicated to ensuring your security system is always working and your property is always protected.
3. Monitoring Services
A security system isn’t complete without proper monitoring.
Monitor Net’s monitoring services include alarm and CCTV monitoring, ensuring that any potential threat is detected and addressed immediately. Our 24/7 monitoring centre is staffed by trained operators who respond quickly and effectively to any security alerts.
Our alarm monitoring services cover various signals, from duress and medical alerts to fire and burglary alarms. This ensures that no matter what the situation, you’ll receive the appropriate swift response.
Our advanced CCTV technology also includes artificial intelligence alert monitoring, allowing us to detect human and vehicle movement accurately.
Data monitoring is a critical aspect of this service. By monitoring system performance and usage data, we can detect potential issues before they become problems, ensuring that your system always functions optimally.
4. Response Services
When it comes to security, response time is everything.
Monitor Net offers response services that are designed to be fast and effective.
Our armed response teams are well-trained, equipped, and strategically positioned to respond quickly to any security threat. With many vehicles on our Centurion and Brits roads, we ensure that help is always nearby.
Our specialised tactical response unit, S.T.O.P (Specialised Tactical Operations Personnel), is trained to handle high-risk situations, from unarmed combat to tactical weapon use to anti-hijack interventions. This elite team is equipped with the latest technology and training, ensuring they can assist in even the most volatile situations.
In addition to security, we offer medical response services, recognising that injuries often accompany crime. Our medical response teams are trained to provide life-saving assistance should you ever need it.
