LDD designs and installs IP security camera systems across South Africa, including TP-Link Vigi and Hikvision AcuSense cameras, thermal imaging and active-deterrence units. Every system is built on a properly designed network with remote viewing, optional 24/7 remote monitoring and POPIA-aware data handling.
LDD (Logix Design and Development) has delivered IT and security infrastructure across South Africa since 2003. Our IP security camera installations are designed, not just bolted on: we plan camera placement, networking, storage and viewing as one system so you get reliable coverage and footage you can actually use.
Properly designed CCTV and surveillance systems
A camera is only as good as the system behind it. Every LDD installation starts with a security design build: a site walkthrough, coverage planning, and a layout that removes blind spots, matches the right camera to each scene, and sizes storage and bandwidth correctly. The result is a complete, documented surveillance system rather than a handful of disconnected cameras.
TP-Link surveillance, including TP-Link Vigi
For homes, retail and small-to-medium business sites, we install TP-Link surveillance solutions, including advanced TP-Link Vigi deployments. Vigi delivers clear day-and-night IP video, smart detection and centralised management at a sensible price point, making it a strong choice where you need professional coverage without enterprise complexity.
Hikvision installations with AcuSense smart detection
For larger or higher-risk sites we install the full Hikvision range, including cameras with AcuSense smart detection. AcuSense filters out false alarms from moving leaves, animals and shadows by distinguishing people and vehicles from background motion, so your alerts and recordings focus on what matters. We deliver these as full security design builds, configured around your specific risks and site layout.
Thermal cameras
Where lighting is poor, perimeters are long, or you need detection in total darkness, smoke or glare, we deploy thermal cameras from the Hikvision range. Thermal imaging detects heat signatures rather than visible light, making it ideal for perimeter protection, yards and challenging outdoor environments.
Active deterrence: stop intruders, don’t just record them
Selected Hikvision cameras support active deterrence with remote strobe lights and audible alarms. Instead of only recording an incident, these cameras can trigger a flashing light and a spoken or siren warning the moment a person is detected in a protected zone, giving you live deterrence on site and a real chance to stop a break-in before it happens.
Networking, integration and remote viewing
Cameras live or die on the network they run on. LDD installs every system on a properly designed network with secure remote viewing from your phone or desktop, and ties surveillance into our broader network design and implementation work. For ongoing health and uptime visibility, camera and network infrastructure can be watched with InfraPulse, our infrastructure monitoring product.
Remote guarding and 24/7 monitoring
Recording is useful after the fact; monitoring protects you in the moment. LDD partners with a specialist remote-monitoring company to provide off-site 24/7 or after-hours camera monitoring and remote guarding. Trained operators watch your active-deterrence and AcuSense cameras, verify events and respond according to your escalation plan, turning your cameras into a live, watched security layer.
POPIA-aware surveillance
Surveillance in South Africa carries data-protection obligations. LDD installs with POPIA in mind: appropriate signage so people know they are being recorded, sensible footage retention periods, and controlled access to stored video and live feeds. We help you run effective security that respects privacy and your compliance duties.
On-site installation, anywhere in South Africa
This is a hands-on, South-Africa-based on-site service. Our technicians install, cable, configure and commission your system on location, then hand over a working solution with remote access set up and explained. Pricing is on application, scoped to your site after a survey. Talk to LDD about a security design build for your premises.
FAQ
Which camera brands does LDD install?
LDD installs TP-Link surveillance, including advanced TP-Link Vigi systems, and the full Hikvision range, including cameras with AcuSense smart detection and thermal models. We recommend the right brand and model for each site as part of a designed security build.
What is Hikvision AcuSense?
AcuSense is Hikvision’s smart-detection technology that distinguishes people and vehicles from general motion such as wind, animals and shadows. This cuts false alarms dramatically, so your recordings and notifications focus on genuine security events.
Do you install thermal cameras?
Yes. We deploy thermal cameras from the Hikvision range for situations where ordinary cameras struggle, such as total darkness, smoke, glare or long perimeters. Thermal imaging detects heat signatures, making it ideal for perimeter and outdoor protection.
What is active deterrence and can my cameras do it?
Active deterrence means a camera reacts to an intruder in real time rather than only recording. Selected Hikvision cameras can trigger remote strobe lights and audible alarms when a person enters a protected zone, giving you live on-site deterrence to help stop a break-in as it starts.
Can LDD monitor my cameras off-site, around the clock?
Yes. LDD partners with a specialist remote-monitoring company to offer off-site 24/7 or after-hours camera monitoring and remote guarding. Trained operators watch your cameras, verify events and respond according to an agreed escalation plan.
Can I view my cameras remotely?
Yes. Every system is installed on a properly designed network with secure remote viewing from your phone or desktop, and can integrate with LDD’s network design and infrastructure monitoring services for reliable uptime.
Is the installation compliant with POPIA?
We install with POPIA in mind, covering appropriate signage, sensible footage retention periods and controlled access to recordings and live feeds, so your surveillance is effective while respecting privacy obligations.
Where does LDD install, and how much does it cost?
LDD is a South-Africa-based on-site service; our technicians install and commission systems at your premises. Pricing is on application and scoped to your site after a survey, because every security design build is tailored to the property.
