Security Cameras for Offices, Shops and Warehouses
Zalocom Networks installs CCTV in Polokwane and across Limpopo: HD cameras, recorders and the cabling that connects them, set up so you can watch live and recorded footage on your phone. We plan camera positions from a site visit, so entrances, tills, stockrooms and yards are covered.
Because we also install networks and IT, your cameras are cabled properly, powered reliably and kept on a secure network, instead of hanging off the office Wi-Fi.
How a CCTV Installation Works
1. Site Visit
- We walk your premises with you, mark what needs to be seen and check lighting, cable routes and power. Problem spots such as gates, tills and blind corners are noted.
2. Camera Plan and Quote
- You get a quote showing each camera, the recorder, storage and cabling. It also states how many days of footage the system will keep.
3. Installation
- We run the cabling, mount and aim the cameras, and set up the recorder. Each camera's view and night picture are checked before handover.
4. Handover and Support
- We set up the viewing app on your phone, show you how to find and export footage, and stay available for repairs and additions.

CCTV and Access Control Services
Each service below can be quoted on its own or as part of a full security installation, and all of it is supported by our team in Sterpark, Polokwane.
HD Camera Installation
Clear images of faces and number plates
We install high-definition IP cameras inside and outside, chosen for the distance and light at each spot. Night vision and weatherproof housings are used where they are needed.
Recording and Storage
Footage kept for as long as you need it
A network video recorder (NVR) stores footage from every camera, sized for the number of days you want to keep. We place it somewhere secure so it can’t be carried off with the rest of your stock.
Viewing on Your Phone
Check in from anywhere
Watch live cameras and play back recordings on your phone or computer, wherever you are. Access is set up securely with its own login and password, not left on factory defaults.
Access Control
Keycards and biometric readers
Keycard and biometric readers control who can open doors to stockrooms, offices and server rooms. Entry records show who went in, and when.
Cabling and Power for Cameras
Wired properly, not on Wi-Fi
Cameras are cabled back to the recorder, often with power over the same cable, which keeps installations neat and reliable. A UPS keeps the system recording through short power cuts.
Repairs, Upgrades and Additions
Help with the system you already have
We repair and add to existing camera systems, replace old analogue cameras and move recorders onto a secure network. Not sure what you have? We will check it during the site visit.
What Affects the Price of CCTV Installation?
Every site is different, so CCTV is quoted after a site visit. The things that change the price most are:
- Number of cameras, indoor and outdoor
- Camera type and image quality
- Number of days of recording to keep
- Cable distances and mounting heights
- Access control doors and readers
- UPS for power cuts
- Travel outside Polokwane
Cameras run best on a well-planned network. See network cabling in Polokwane, and for protection of the network itself, our cybersecurity services.
CCTV Installation Questions
How much does CCTV installation cost?
It depends on the number and type of cameras, how long footage must be kept and the cable runs on your site. We quote after a site visit, with each camera listed.
How many cameras do I need?
Start with entrances, tills, stockrooms and any outside area where vehicles or stock are kept. During the site visit we mark each spot and suggest the smallest number of cameras that covers them.
Can I watch the cameras on my phone?
Yes. We install the viewing app, link it to your recorder and show you how to watch live and play back recordings.
What happens to the cameras during load-shedding?
Without backup power, the cameras and recorder go off. A UPS sized for your system keeps it recording through short outages, and we can include one in the quote.
Can you add cameras to our existing system?
Often, yes. We check the recorder and cabling first, then add cameras or recommend an upgrade if the old system can’t take more.
Do we need signs or permission to use CCTV under POPIA?
CCTV footage of people counts as personal information under POPIA, so businesses should tell people they are being recorded and keep footage secure. We position cameras with that in mind and can advise on signage.
