Toti residents vote for stronger, smarter security company

When it comes to selecting security for your home, it’s always best to opt for a service provider that’s engaged in the local fight against crime with a track record of successes. Armed with a strong force on the ground and the latest technology, it already knows how to take your neighbourhood’s security to the next level.
That’s probably why the majority of newspaper readers, many of them residents in the greater Amanzimtoti area, once again voted for Blue Security, which came out tops as the best security company in the South Coast Sun Absolute Best Readers’ Choice Awards 2018 recently. The company won the top award in the category for being the “absolute best” security company serving the coastal newspaper’s readers.

Best security company awards

But local residents are not the only people who recognise the value that the firm’s security strategy adds to the safety of their neighbourhoods, as marketing director Darren Lategan points out, the award is just one of a string of accolades achieved over the years. Among these are the following:
* Voted KwaZulu-Natal’s best security company for the past ten years in a row in the independent PMR Awards.
* Voted as the company doing the most to fight crime in KwaZulu-Natal.
* Selected as the best firm in The Standard Bank KZN Top Business Awards’ business service provider category and came second in the best brand category 2018.

Largest vehicle fleet

In keep with its award winning streak, Blue Security has already implemented a host of high technology and tactical crime fighting strategies in homes and across the wider community in Amanzimtoti and it plans to further grow its presence in the neighbourhood.
“Blue Security works closely with the Community Crime Prevention Organisation as a long term committed partner and our dedicated team of highly trained armed response officers provide a professional service to local residents and businesses. We have a dedicated tactical unit and a strong track record of effective arrests of dangerous criminals in the area in line with our aim of eradicating crime from the streets that we patrol,” Lategan said.
“We have the largest fleet of security vehicles currently responding to residents’ emergencies in the area, which means our response times are swifter and there are always armed response officers on duty, working to keep the community safe as people go about their work and play activities,” he said.

Latest street smart security technology

Blue Security is not only big on providing armed response vehicles in Toti, it also majors on implementing the latest technology to fight crime. “Our Eye-in-the-Sky street surveillance cameras minimise preventable crimes such as car theft and hijacking and assists with investigations, acting as a strong deterrent to criminals. We also use Automated Number Plate Recongition (ANPR) cameras which have assisted us and the police in effecting arrests following crimes,” Lategan said.

Security on the go at work, on the road, at the beach

Amanzimoti residents can enjoy the benefit of the company’s mobile panic app which is offered for free on four devices when signing up for a home alarm system and armed response service.
“Whether you are out shopping, jogging a few blocks away from home or suntanning on the beach, if you experience any kind of emergency such as a medical problem, crime or even if your car breaks down and you need assistance, just press the mobile panic app on your cellphone for swift emergency assistance in our area of operation in Amanzimtoti,” Lategan said.

Smarter, safer affordable home security systems

Blue Security also specialises in smart home alarm systems, the latest trend to sweep the home security industry globally. “The options with a smart home alarm system are almost limitless – apart from being able to view your home CCTV cameras in real time remotely from your tablet or cellphone you can switch your alarm system on or off, lock and unlock gates and doors, and even control your lights, geyser and air-conditioning switches while away from home. Technology is always improving and advancing and fortunately as it does pricing comes down making these cutting edge systems affordable to private home owners,” Lategan said.
Blue Security offers a range of smart home alarm systems to residents in Amanzimtoti.
