The Easy CCTV team is awesome! We needed assistance with CCTV Cameras for our home & they helped us with so much enthusiasm. Anyone wanting CCTV specialists offering excellent service, can call these guys.
How much does CCTV installation cost in Pretoria?
CCTV installation cost depends on the number of cameras, the camera quality (2MP, 4MP, or 4K), cabling distance, and any additional AI features such as Hikvision Acusense or ColorVu night vision. We provide fully itemised quotations after a free site inspection — hardware and labour are always quoted separately, and conduit and trunking is billed on actual usage rather than estimated upfront. Request your free quote or call us on 062 894 7138 for an indicative price range.
What is the best CCTV brand for South Africa?
Hikvision is the world’s largest CCTV manufacturer and consistently rates as the most reliable brand for South African conditions. Hikvision cameras handle our temperature extremes, deliver excellent low-light and night-vision performance, and come with mature AI features (Acusense, ColorVu, line crossing detection) that genuinely reduce false alarms. Easy CCTV is a Hikvision specialist installer — we install the brand exclusively, which means deep product expertise rather than the surface-level knowledge that comes from working across many brands.
How long does a CCTV installation take?
A standard 4 to 6-camera residential installation typically takes one full day on site, including cabling, mounting, configuration, mobile app setup, and a live test of the system. Larger commercial or estate installations are scoped during the site inspection — most are completed within two to three days. We do not leave a property until every camera is aligned, every detection zone is configured, every user has the Hik-Connect app working on their phone, and you have received your first live test notification.
Do you install CCTV near me?
If you are anywhere in Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, or Johannesburg — yes, we cover your area. Our team operates daily across the N1 corridor and broader Gauteng. Most site inspections in Pretoria East are scheduled within one to two business days; Centurion, Midrand, and Johannesburg are typically two to three business days. For larger commercial contracts we work nationwide.
Will my CCTV system keep working during load shedding?
Yes — with the correct UPS sizing. We design every CCTV installation with a UPS sized to maintain your full system (cameras, NVR, PoE switch, and router) for the duration of standard load shedding periods. Recording continues uninterrupted, push notifications still reach your phone, and remote viewing remains available throughout any outage. If your property has solar backup, we ensure the CCTV system is included in the backed-up load.
What is Hikvision Acusense and why does it matter?
Acusense is Hikvision’s onboard AI technology that classifies every detection as either a human, a vehicle, or background activity — and only triggers alerts for humans and vehicles. The result is a CCTV system that stays completely silent when a cat walks past, when wind blows a tree branch, or when headlights sweep across a wall — but sends you an immediate push notification with a snapshot the moment a real person steps onto your property.
