Secutel Technologies has provided locally developed visual verification solutions for some time. SMART Security Solutions requested more insight into these solutions from the company.

In February this year, SMART Security Solutions travelled to Cape Town to experience the unbelievable experience of a city where potholes are fixed, and traffic lights work; and to host the Cape Town SMART Estate Security Conference 2025.

Mobile smartphone access is becoming more common, with use cases ranging from Bluetooth, NFC (Near-Field Communication), or QR codes to manage secure access to commercial and personal locations.

In rural areas where infrastructure is often limited and traditional security measures may be challenging to implement, reliable and cost-effective surveillance is crucial; the SecuGuard Solar CCTV Tower provides a solution tailored to the unique demands of these environments.
