The record behind every round

How a patrol is proved.

  1. Route set

    We walk your site with you and agree the checkpoints: gates, basements, perimeter corners, plant rooms, bin areas.

    The SecaTeq portal's site map for the sample site: a beam of light at each checkpoint, labelled with the time it was scanned
  2. Checkpoint scanned

    The officer scans each QR checkpoint on the round. Time, place, name and a photo, in one action.

    A checkpoint scan in the portal: roof door, 20:40:32, level 9, by the Patrol Officer, checkpoint scan with a sample photo, round 3, checkpoint 8 of 8
  3. Measured and flagged

    Each round is measured against the last 30 nights. A missed or late checkpoint is flagged for the supervisor to follow up.

    Round 3 of 12 in the portal: eight checkpoints, each with the time it was scanned and how it compares with the average
  4. Incidents escalated

    Anything wrong is logged with photos and escalated in real time. Faults go to facilities as a work order.

    An incident in the portal: parking P1 at 20:05, reported, answered in 40 seconds, closed after a minute and handed to facilities as a work order
  5. Record kept

    The route walked and every scan stay searchable for the trustee pack, the AGM or an insurance query.

What we run

What SecaTeq Security does.

  • Guarding

    Trained officers at gates, lobbies, basements and estate perimeters, planned around how your site moves.

  • Patrols, every scan timed

    Set routes past fixed QR checkpoints. A ghost patrol does not survive a timed, located scan.

  • Incidents escalated in real time

    Logged on the spot with photos, or by voice. The portal sends each one to the people who need to act.

  • Access control and visitor records

    A record you can search in place of the paper visitor book.

  • CCTV and electronic security

    Cameras planned around your real risk points and tied to the people who respond.

  • Tactical and armed response

    SecaTeq runs its own tactical response team. Armed response is provided through our armed response partner.

  • Supervision

    Named supervisors visit, inspect and log every visit.

  • Not sure what your site needs?

    We walk the site first, so the quote matches how the building actually works.

CCTV and electronic security

Cameras that reach someone who can act.

Cameras on their own are a recording. Useful after an incident. Useless during one. We plan CCTV as part of the guarding, so a camera event reaches someone who can act.

  1. Survey

    Risk points, lighting, blind spots, existing equipment and where an alert needs to go.

  2. Design

    Coverage that matters, linked to access points, guard posts and the SecaTeq portal.

  3. Install

    Neat, labelled installation. Every channel tested before we leave. CCTV is installed by SecaTeq and through installer partners.

  4. Handover

    Accounts, the live view path, the escalation plan and the maintenance schedule, in writing.

  5. Live view and alerts

    Authorised people see what operations needs them to see.

  6. Response

    A camera event is checked, the right person is sent and the outcome is logged with the footage reference.

Security FAQs

What security services does SecaTeq offer in Cape Town?

SecaTeq Security provides guarding, patrols with scanned checkpoints, incident logging and escalation, supervision and CCTV for residential estates, body corporates and commercial buildings across Cape Town. Everything is recorded in the SecaTeq portal. Request a quote at scan.secateq.com and we will start with a walkthrough of your site.

How do patrol checkpoints work?

Fixed QR checkpoints are placed around your site at gates, basements and perimeter points. The officer scans each one on every round. Each scan records the time, the location and the officer's name. A missed or late checkpoint is flagged in the SecaTeq portal so a supervisor can follow up.

What happens when a guard logs an incident?

The officer logs it on the spot in the SecaTeq portal, with photos. The portal escalates it in real time to the people who need to act, such as the supervisor and operations. The entry stays timed and searchable, so trustees have a clean record for the AGM or an insurer.

Is SecaTeq registered with PSIRA?

Yes. SecaTeq (Pty) Ltd is registered with PSIRA as a security service provider. Ask us for the certificate and verify it with PSIRA directly. We recommend trustees ask every security bidder for the same proof, in the same company name as the invoice, before signing any contract.

Does SecaTeq provide armed response?

SecaTeq runs its own tactical response team. Armed response is provided through our armed response partner. During the site walkthrough we agree who responds, how incidents are escalated and who is told, and we put it in writing. Ask about response cover for your building at scan.secateq.com or call 011 088 5419.

Do you install CCTV for body corporates?

Yes, as part of a security plan rather than a camera sale. We survey the site, design coverage around real risk points, install, test and hand over in writing. Camera alerts are tied to the people who respond, so footage leads to action, not only evidence after the fact.

Can we replace our paper occurrence book?

Yes. Our officers log every incident in a digital occurrence book in the SecaTeq portal, with photos, time and location. Entries can be searched and filtered, so finding last month's basement incidents takes seconds. Bring your current book to the walkthrough and we will show the difference.
