SITE VISIBILITY

Using the OnSiteCheck guard monitoring system, the control centre follows your security officers in real time and gives your organisation a complete audit trail of patrols, check-ins, and site visits.

FASTER RESPONSE

When an alarm or panic signal comes in, operators dispatch a TSU tactical response team and follow it through advanced vehicle tracking—with response time, patrol quality, and outcome all on record.

VERIFIED ALERTS

Routine remote closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance and responses to motion-activated cameras run from the centre, so operators can verify an alert visually, dispatch a team, or alert the police and emergency services.

CONSTANT CONTACT

Connecting clients, managers, security officers, and tactical response officers by radio and mobile systems, the control centre keeps every unit in contact at all times—not only when something goes wrong.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A security control room is a central hub that monitors alarms, cameras, and security personnel, and coordinates the response to incidents. Operators receive and log calls, dispatch response teams, liaise with police and emergency services, and keep records that clients can use for audits and reporting.

Guard monitoring uses electronic check-in systems, radios, and mobile apps to confirm that security officers are on duty and completing their patrols. Each check-in is time-stamped, which gives the client an audit trail and lets the control room react quickly when an officer misses a scheduled point.

Remote CCTV monitoring is the live viewing of security cameras from an off-site control room. Operators watch for suspicious activity, respond to motion-triggered alerts, and verify incidents visually before dispatching a response team or alerting the police, which reduces false alarms and speeds up response.

Private security in South Africa is regulated by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA), established under the Private Security Industry Regulation Act 56 of 2001. Security businesses and individual security officers must register with PSIRA, which also enforces the industry's code of conduct and minimum training standards.
