Estate upgrades and enhances its security through a partnership between surveillance specialist Watcher and the incumbent guarding company.

Looking beyond the hype and all the marketing optimism about AI and cloud services in the security market, there are significant benefits to incorporating the two into an estate’s security operation.

Watcher Surveillance Solutions provides an off-site Surveillance Operating Centre (SOC), offering a cloud-based video management system that manages customers’ video feeds using the latest in-video analytics and artificial intelligence.

Organisations need security systems that are reliable, intelligent, efficient and aimed at optimising the guarding component in order to adapt to their environments.

Despite the increasing number of attacks, analysis of Allianz Commercial cyber claims shows that severity is down by 50% and large-claim frequency by 30% in H1 2025, driven by larger companies’ enhanced detection and response capabilities.

Fire safety is a combination of technology, product certifications, and experience that ensures that every project is planned correctly at inception according to client requirements, while meeting SANS standards.
