Our Story
Sheldon started Easy CCTV in 2013, after years of watching how badly CCTV was being done in South Africa. Systems were overpriced, slapped up in a hurry, and forgotten the minute the last cable was tied off. People were left with cameras they did not understand, an app nobody had shown them how to use, and an installer who stopped answering the phone once the invoice was paid.
The fix was simple: do the opposite. Arrive when we say we will. Install neatly. Set everything up properly. Walk the client through their system before we leave. And answer the phone afterwards.
More than a decade on, none of that has changed. We are still owner-operated, still based in Pretoria East, and still building the kind of reputation that only comes from getting the work right, on every job, whether it is a 3-camera home in Garsfontein or a 24-camera commercial system in a Centurion warehouse.
We have now installed more than 7,500 cameras across Pretoria East, Centurion, Johannesburg, Midrand and the surrounding areas, with over 30 years of combined experience behind the team. We have watched the technology move from basic analogue cameras to today’s AI-powered deep learning cameras, and we have kept up with every step of it.

Why We Work With Three Brands, Not Thirty
People ask us fairly often why we do not stock a wider range. The answer is on purpose. We work with three brands, and knowing three properly beats knowing thirty a little.
Hikvision is our primary range, and has been since day one. It has been the world’s number one CCTV manufacturer for over a decade. Its AcuSense deep learning, ColorVu full-colour night vision and Hik-Connect remote viewing add up to the most capable and best-supported camera setup you can buy, and it carries a 3-year South African warranty. Most of what we install is Hikvision, and it is what we recommend when the budget allows. See our Hikvision CCTV specialist page for the detail.
TP-Link VIGI is our value option, added because a real gap existed. For years the jump from analogue to AI IP was wide enough that plenty of Pretoria homeowners simply stayed on analogue and put up with the false alarms. VIGI closes that gap: AI human and vehicle classification, full-colour night vision and genuine two-way audio, at roughly half the cost per camera of the Hikvision AI range. The trade-offs are honest ones, a 2-year warranty instead of 3 and a narrower product range. See our TP-Link VIGI packages.
IMOU covers WiFi, for rented homes, complexes with modification rules, and properties where running cable to a central recorder is not practical. See our IMOU WiFi specials.
What we do not do is mix brands on one site. Cameras and recorder come from the same ecosystem, or you lose brand-specific AI features and end up running two apps for one property. Choose Easy CCTV and you get someone who has set up thousands of these systems, knows the firmware properly, can troubleshoot remotely or on site, and deals directly with local distribution for warranty and parts. You only get that depth by specialising.
What We Believe About Security Camera Installations
Configuration matters more than hardware
An AI camera with its detection zones drawn wrong, the sensitivity left on factory defaults and no notification schedule will throw just as many false alerts as the cheapest camera on the shelf. The hardware is only half the story. The configuration, the detection zones and schedules and alert thresholds and user permissions, is what decides whether a system actually protects you or just quietly records things you find out about the next morning.
We spend more time setting a system up than a lot of installers spend on the whole job. Detection zones are drawn around your actual property. Schedules match how the place is really used. Each person gets the access level that suits their role. That is not us going the extra mile, it is simply what the job needs.
An installation is not complete until you receive your first notification
We have one simple test for whether a job is done: has the client had a live push notification land on their phone, checked that it shows the right camera, and understood what set it off? Until that has happened, the job is not finished, and we do not pack up and leave.
It sounds obvious. In practice, plenty of CCTV installations around South Africa end with the cameras up, the cables run, and a recorder sitting in a cupboard while the owner has no app, no alerts set, and no real idea what the system can do. We see it all the time when people call us to sort out a system someone else put in.
Honest pricing protects both sides
We quote hardware and installation separately, with every line showing. Conduit and trunking is billed on what actually gets used once the job is done, not guessed at upfront. That way you can see exactly what you are paying for, and we are on the hook for every rand on the invoice. It also means we have no reason to pad a quote with inflated materials, because we only charge for what went in. Our full CCTV installation price guide sets out every tier publicly, which not many installers are willing to do.
We are not the cheapest installer in Pretoria East or Centurion, and we do not pretend to be. We are the best value, which is a different thing. A system that runs properly for five years works out cheaper than one that dies in eighteen months and has to be replaced.
Tell people what you are not selling them
We install, we supply and we maintain. We do not run a control room, we do not offer armed response, we do not provide guards, and we do not sell insurance. When a client needs one of those, we say so and point them elsewhere rather than inventing a service to keep the sale. Being clear about the edges of what we do saves everyone time.
After-sales support is not optional
Phone or WhatsApp us with a question about your system after the install and you will get an answer. It is not a written policy, it is just how we work. The 12-month workmanship warranty on our labour is backed by us actually being reachable, not by fine print written to keep us off the hook.
Who We Are
Easy CCTV is Sheldon and a small, experienced team of installation technicians. We are not a franchise. There is no head office, no rotating crew of subcontractors you have never met, and no call centre sitting between you and the person who did your install.
Sheldon quotes the job, his team installs it. You phone afterwards, Sheldon answers. Something needs sorting under warranty, the same crew that fitted it comes back. That kind of accountability is not a slogan, it is the only way we know to produce work we are happy to put our name on.
We are Pretoria East locals. We drive past our own installations every day, which is a good reason to do them properly.
What We Do
- New installations, residential and commercial, across five fixed-price tiers from R6,900 to R57,900, plus custom commercial work quoted individually
- Upgrades of existing systems, commonly reusing existing cable runs to bring the cost down
- Inspections, diagnostics and repairs, including on systems we did not install and on brands we do not stock
- Supply-only sales of cameras, recorders and accessories, couriered nationwide
- Maintenance contracts for commercial sites and estates
- UPS sizing and installation so the system keeps running through load shedding
Where We Work
Easy CCTV is based in Pretoria East and operates daily across the following areas:
- Pretoria East: our home base and primary service area, covering all suburbs from Faerie Glen and Garsfontein through to Montana, Meyerspark, Woodlands and Olympus
- Centurion: including Irene, Lyttelton, Wierda Park, Highveld, Midstream, Die Hoewes, Clubview and all surrounding suburbs
- Johannesburg: residential and commercial installations across the greater Johannesburg area
- Midrand: serving the residential estates, business parks and industrial properties along the N1 and N14 corridors
- Nationwide: for larger commercial and industrial contracts, we work country-wide
Part of the Pretoria East Community
We do not just work in Pretoria East, we are from Pretoria East. The team lives here, our kids go to school here, and a lot of our clients are our neighbours. The things that worry people here, the soft spots in cluster complexes, the load shedding windows that opportunists wait for, are things we deal with at our own homes too, not just on the job.
That shows in how we approach a job. We are not out to sell you the most expensive system we can. Adding TP-Link VIGI to the range was a decision in that direction, not away from it: plenty of properties are better served by covering every access point on a modest budget than by putting two premium cameras on a house that needs six.
When someone in Moreleta Park phones at 07:00 because their system alerted overnight and they cannot find the clip, we help them find it. When someone in Garsfontein wants an extra camera two years down the line, we go back. When a system we installed faults, we fix it. That is what being part of a place actually means.
