Tandem Security Systems are committed to helping you catch criminals before they have a chance to cause harm or damage. There are two main ways we do this: with electric fencing and CCTV systems.
For our CCTV systems, we provide exceptional monitoring using the latest software. It makes use of artificial intelligence and behavior analytics to pick up any problems before they become serious. Our clients have the choice to do the monitoring themselves, or we recommend a professional monitoring company to do it for them.
When it comes to electric fencing, we provide a variety of solutions, including:
- Wall top electric fencing
- Free standing electric fencing
- Electric fencing attached against a wall or fence
Tandem Security Systems can protect the perimeter of your property with electric fences and perimeter cameras. We notify our clients before they can damage the fences. So why is this technology so essential in South Africa?
The Reality of Crime in South Africa
South Africa might be known for its rich culture and breathtaking landscapes, but unfortunately, it still faces significant security challenges. We empower our clients to be in control of their assets, while having peace of mind.
Crime remains a serious concern in all areas. Private security companies work together with the South African Police Service to keep the country safe.
Certain suburbs are especially prone to crime, with high rates of break-ins, vehicle theft, and violent offences. Electronic security products are necessary, rather than a luxury.
Which Suburbs Are the Most Dangerous?
Crime levels vary across the country. Nonetheless, some suburbs consistently record high rates of criminal activity.
Why Electric Fencing is a Crucial Security Measure
Electric fencing has become one of the most effective security solutions for residential and commercial properties in South Africa. Unlike traditional walls or standard fencing, electric fences provide an active deterrent that prevents criminals from even attempting a break-in. Criminals can get over a high wall that is not protected by an electric fence.
Here’s why electric fencing is a must-have security feature:
A Strong Psychological and Physical Deterrent
Criminals are far less likely to target a property with a visible electric fence. As with CCTV, often the presence alone can make a difference.
Electric fences demonstrate that premises are well-secured, so opportunists are less likely to make an attempt to enter the property. Unlike regular walls or palisades, which can be scaled or broken, electric fences deliver a non-lethal shock and activate a siren that is connected to the local armed response, that effectively stops intruders.
24/7 Protection with Minimal Maintenance
Electric fences provide round-the-clock security without requiring constant human supervision. Unlike security guards or CCTV systems that depend on monitoring, an electric fence automatically responds to any breach attempt. With proper installation and occasional checks, they require minimal maintenance while offering long-term protection.
Integration with Other Security Systems
Modern electric fencing can seamlessly integrate with other security measures, such as:
- CCTV surveillance. Our systems enable you to enjoy real-time monitoring of potential intruders.
- Alarm systems, which can be triggered when the fence is tampered with.
- Access control systems. Ensures that only authorised personnel can deactivate the fence when needed.
Let us customize your Fencing at Your Property
Our electric fencing can be tailored to suit any property, from single homes to business premises and large residential complexes. Whether installed along boundary walls or as a free-standing structure, it offers flexible security solutions for different needs.
An Affordable Long-Term Solution
Our services include working with developers on new projects which need a complete solution for their security.
Compared to hiring security guards or continuously upgrading other security measures, electric fencing is a cost-effective investment. Once installed, it requires little upkeep; its deterrent effect also reduces the risk of theft and property damage. All in all, it will ultimately save you money in the long-term.
Electric Fencing for Residential Complexes
Many South African residential estates and complexes rely on electric fencing as their first line of defense. It’s important to realize that gated communities are often a target since criminals know there are numerous homes inside: it only increases the reward.
Without electric fencing, criminals can gain access to an entire community rather than just a single house.
Choosing the Right Electric Fencing Provider
When installing electric fencing, quality and expertise matter. A poorly installed fence isn’t worth the investment, since it leaves gaps for criminals to exploit. Tandem Security Systems has been installing electric fences for over 28 years and is registered with the department of labour (Registration number: EFSI 00831). Every new electric fence must have a valid Certificate of Compliance. All rented out properties with electric fences must have their electric fence COC’s updated every two years.
Our installation experts regularly receive training from our suppliers to ensure products perform to a high standard and that the installation protects the warranty.
