We added AI triggered cameras to a Paradox alarm.
We don't use beams any more.

When set up correctly, they provide extremely accurate triggers.
We have had no issues with false alarms yet.

Any false alarm can be played back and fine tuned.

These cameras have built-in speakers providing voice warnings and flashing.light deterrance.
They offers 2-way communication.

Being easily accessible from the street, we had to manufacture an anti-vandal cover.

This makes it very difficult to steal or brake.

It is made of 4mm steel and fixed with knock-off screws.

This TOU settings works very well for my setup.

Grid charge never applies, unless grid failed early morning and there is no sun when it comes back on. (perfect storm)

Battery cut-off at 10% - should never be needed.

The % settings are just to protect against over-use of the battery at specific times.
It will stop and switch to grid.
E.g. if someone cooks a lot 4pm-8pm, the battery will stop at 80%.

I chose these settings, because a sunny day with little cooking after sunset will use PV and battery, with no grid needed.

I only have 4.4kW solar and 7.68kWh battery on a Deye 8kVA.

For easy controlled access control, Hikvision face readers provide a brilliant solution.

The client has access to all settings, loading of staff and transaction logs via the online platform.
We help set up the client's Hik-Connect Teams account.
Multiple managed users can then access the account.

This makes access control and Time & Attendance easy.

For Emergency evacuation and roll call, the EEMS package in HikCentral Professional provides a fantastic solution.

Introducing top quality perimeter solutions.
We regularly use these:

1. Thermal bi-spectrum cameras (thermal & colour)

Thermal triggers are more reliable
and accurate over long distances.
Colour camera images are vulnerable to
spider webs and other reflections.
Also rain & dirt causing blur effect
Thus triggers are compromised.

2. Acusense AI colour cameras for blindspots
and up to 30m detection.

3. IP horn speakers linked to cameras
Pre-recorded voice warning messages
2-way audio for realtime communication
Emergency warnings, public address, etc.

4. Wireless alarm and sensors
Adding cameras as zones for easy management
Receive Notivications with 7 sec. footage.
Filling gaps with wireless sensors
Triggering PTZ preset views to zoom in.

These are some if the best solutions to detect and deter intruders.
Best practise will include off-site monitoring with a personal response.

Ever wondered why some thefts never happen?
We do too...
Our aim is to stop them before they start!

Without inside information, the intruder will pick the easiest target.
Your security simply needs to be more of a challenge than your neighbour.

With inside information, they will go to great lengths to enter.
Your security needs to be as impenetrable as possible.

We have replaced the use of beams with AI cameras that has Human detection.
They offer audible voice warnings as deterrence, as well as 2-way audio.
A flashing light also contributes to the deterrence factor.

The camera is then linked to your alarm systems to manage arming and disarming.

Another great feature is visual verification of the incident.

We will tailor the system behind the scenes to suit your home or business in the Western Cape.

Want simple, affordable ways to make your home a lot less attractive to thieves?

There are some easy wins
- Hide valuables.
What they can not see, they can not desire.
- Keep unwanted eyes off of your property as far as possible.
Don't invite unwanted eyes inside, like contractors working outside.
If you have to invite contractors in, be with them and keep them occupied.
If you have movable valuables, hide them.

Most break-ins occur after unwanted eyes, like contractors, entered the property.

We offer wireless alarms and CCTV cameras as an integrated preventative measure to protect your family and valuables.
Our Hikvision wireless alarms will send a 7 sec. video footage with the Notification to confirm an alarm.

Proudly presenting our latest installation.

Paxton access control and IP video intercoms were integrated with Hikvision South Africa IP cameras.

Impro controllers and Farfisa analogue intercoms were replaced.
Existing Nedap UHF long range rag readers were re-used on Paxton.

Hikvision ANPR cameras were used at the basement entrances.
They can be incorporated into the Paxton system.

The existing Hello visitor scanner system was linked to Paxton.
After a visitor is scanned, Paxton creates an exit PIN
linked to the visitor info.

The old analogue intercoms were replaced with Paxton Access Ltd IP video intercoms.
The system is managed via the free configuration tool
for easy backend management, including:

- set intercom names
- set triggers to doors
- customize button actions
- set volume
- all transactions occur on the Event log
- add an external camera if needed

Paxton is so far the most user-friendly access control system we have installed.
It offers exceptional flexibility with excellent local & UK support.
