CCTV alone vs monitored security
CCTV can record evidence, but it does not automatically mean someone responds. Ask whether cameras can be linked to alarm triggers, offsite monitoring or armed response processes.
Home vs business CCTV
Homes usually need perimeter, driveway and entry coverage. Businesses may need tills, stock rooms, entrances, parking areas, access control and after-hours monitoring.
ADT/Fidelity pricing signal
ADT campaign material has referenced CCTV DVR kits from R4,999 including setup and cameras, plus camera monitoring fees. Treat campaign pricing as provider-specific and confirm current terms before relying on it.
