About GuardianAI

Practical AI Security for Existing CCTV

GuardianAI helps South African property owners and security companies turn compatible CCTV activity into useful person-detection photo alerts.

Make Recorded Security More Actionable

Many CCTV systems are good at recording what happened, but ordinary motion alerts can provide too little context when someone needs to make a decision.

GuardianAI adds a focused detection layer. A compatible camera or recorder sends an event image, GuardianAI checks it for a person, and a marked photo alert is delivered to the site's private Telegram group when a person is detected.

The service supports the people already responsible for the property. GuardianAI does not provide armed response and does not replace a control room, guard, or security provider. The customer or their nominated team assesses each alert and chooses the response.

We keep the commercial offer simple for direct customers: R40 per commissioned camera per month, with a R499 setup fee charged only after a successful installation and no long-term contract.

In active use across 100+ South African sites

A practical production service, not a concept or prototype.

Technology Supports the Decision; People Make It

GuardianAI Detects and Alerts

GuardianAI analyses event images from compatible CCTV for people, filters many non-person events, and sends a photo alert when a person is detected.

Your Team Assesses and Responds

A property owner can assess the photo personally, or a security company can use the alert in its own control-room and response operation.

Clear Boundaries Build Better Security

Describe the Product Honestly

GuardianAI detects people in event images. It does not decide whether someone is dangerous, and detection is not a guarantee that every event will be identified.

Use Compatible CCTV First

We start with the cameras or recorder already on site when they can provide suitable event images. Compatibility is checked before installation.

Keep People in Control

The property owner, staff, control room, or existing security provider sees the photo alert and decides how to respond.

Handle Images for a Clear Purpose

Routine event files are discarded after processing. Detected-event images become alerts, and GuardianAI does not maintain a continuous CCTV archive.

One Product, Two Clear Audiences

Property Owners

Add person-detection photo alerts to compatible CCTV at a home, farm, or business. You remain in control of who receives alerts and how the site responds.
