- Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
- Red Alert now offers a new dimension in home and business security through state of the art CCTV systems. These systems are linked to the Red Alert control centre and upon activation of a panic button the control room will monitor the activity of the assailant/s and respond accordingly.
- Access Control and Time and Attendance Systems
- Red Alert also designs, installs and maintains access control systems for practically any application. From simple standalone access control card readers, coupled to electromagnetic locks, to sophisticated PC based networked systems, which can incorporate biometric finger print readers linked to payroll systems.
- Community Policing
- There is now a strong trend towards communities seeking partnerships with private sector security companies for this type of service. This has become generically known as community policing. In addition to individual monitored/armed response clients, whole communities can now be regarded as clients. This concept, first pioneered by our Pietermaritzburg branch, has a positive impact on reducing neighborhood crime, it helps to reduce the fear of crime and therefore enhances the quality of life in subscribing communities. It accomplishes these aims by being pivotal in combining the efforts and resources of the police, Red Alert, and community members. Community policing adds a vital protective element to the traditional reactive role of the police, resulting in a full-spectrum police service.
