Welkom notes on cctv & alarms
Empty buildings suit battery-backed alarms with a monitored link, because the premises may have no power for weeks. Cameras on the roof edges and loading doors of commercial premises catch cable and metal theft attempts early. Salt pans and the flat land make lightning strikes common, so surge protection is essential. Solar cameras help at sites where the electricity supply has been cut.
Properties and sites in Welkom
Welkom is a planned goldfields town of wide streets and traffic circles, where some mines have scaled back and many properties stand empty or only partly used. Security here often means caretaking vacant buildings, protecting stock and metal on commercial premises, and guarding scrapyards, depots and workshops with night guards and CCTV. Homeowners in Dagbreek, Riebeeckstad and Jan Cilliers Park combine alarms, beams and armed response, while Thabong residents ask for gate motors, bars and patrol links. Farms near Virginia and Hennenman join rural safety networks. Salt pans and summer storms bring lightning, so surge protection matters. Installers work from Welkom, with Bloemfontein suppliers on larger jobs.
