Top local industries
These industries drive most of Johannesburg's commercial CCTV demand. Each has its own security profile — explore the discipline pages below for industry-specific guidance.
Coverage calculated, not estimated
The plan you build for a Johannesburg site is not eyeballed. Every camera cone is computed from the model's sensor, resolution and focal length anchored to its own datasheet, with DORI zones per EN 62676-4 and coverage clipped in 3D against buildings, fences and terrain. The full design also renders in a browser-based 3D site view with a per-camera point-of-view walkthrough, no install required.
Climate considerations
Highveld — hot dry days, sudden thunderstorms with hail. IK10 + IP66 essential. High UV.
Compliance frameworks
Every security design in Johannesburg must validate against these frameworks. Our /security-compliance page covers detailed requirements per region.
