Atlas Security is excited to launch a Miramar CCTV project to take the safety of the residents to the next level. The Atlas Security team on the ground has been doing an incredible job of providing the highest level of Armed Response services to our clients, now it's time to put virtual eyes on the ground to add a new dimension to proactive security. 

The cameras will be analytical human detection cameras, which means that between the set parameters, they will detect human movement and send an alert to our control room. The CCTV operators will then assess the activation and dispatch Armed Response to the scene if the movement is deemed suspicious. 

With this type of solution, the goal is to prevent crime BEFORE it occurs. This will create a phenomenon that we call "nudging". Individuals with criminal intent will soon realise that Armed Response is around every time they move in the streets during the night, which means that the risk is too high for them to perform criminal acts, ultimately forcing them to move to another area. 

We will also be placing LPR (Licence Plate Recognition) cameras at the entrances to the area. These cameras read the number plate of every vehicle that passes and match them to the national database of sought-after vehicles within a matter of seconds. Depending on what the vehicle is sought for, our Control Room can then act accordingly and dispatch the necessary response services to the area. 

We believe that this solution will assist the entire community, so for that reason, contribution to the project is open to any resident and not only to Atlas Security clients. No one is required to switch to Atlas Security to support the project. 

Costs:

A monthly contribution will be required to cover the costs and will require contributors to sign a 3-year contract for the contribution. 

Atlas Security clients: R95 per month 

Non-Atlas Security client: R135 per month

For every 15 people that sign up, we will put a pole up. Although the locations of the poles have been identified, we will put the poles up at the pre-determined site closest to where the 15 people sign up.

Atlas Security's CCTV Network has yielded results in Lorraine, Walmer, Charlo. Read more here about the effectiveness using this solution:
