That is what ordinary CCTV does — it records the night and waits for you to find it in the morning. Jericho Mini puts AI on the cameras you already own, so the moment a person steps into your yard your phone lights up with the photo. No reply? It rings you.
Works with your existing cameras · from R250/month · no lock-in
Illustration of a detection. Only what's inside your drawn zone counts.
Most security is sold on what it might prevent. Here is the boring, exact sequence — the same one that runs on our own house every night.
Not movement — a person. Every frame is analysed on the box inside your home. Wind, rain, moths on the lens and the neighbour's cat produce nothing at all.
A WhatsApp with the actual photo, two seconds later. Three buttons: quiet this camera, quiet the whole property, or send help. An email with the same picture lands at the same moment.
Two minutes of silence and the phone rings. A voice tells you which camera and what it saw. Press 1 and everything stops — the camera rests for half an hour so it doesn't nag you again.
With the optional escalation, we work down your list: your partner, your neighbour, your armed-response company. Each one hears what happened and where. Somebody is awake.
The whole night is a short list: what was seen, when, and who responded. Not four hours of footage to scrub through on a Sunday.
No app to install, no new login. It arrives in WhatsApp like a message from a person — and you answer it the same way.
1 · the alert, two seconds in
2 · you're in control, by reply
3 · we tell you when we can't help
Nothing gets replaced. The wiring, the recorder and the cameras all stay exactly where your installer put them.
Not sure which route suits you? We compared all four honestly — including armed response — in how to get alerts from the CCTV you already own.
Cancel with 30 days' notice. Everything listed is included — there is no separate "monitoring fee" underneath.
A gate and a front door
A whole house, front and back
Shop, workshop or yard
Bigger premises, more eyes
Optional. Instead of stopping after three attempts we keep going and work down your list — you, your partner, your neighbour, your security company — until a real person answers and confirms. For heavy sleepers, and for anyone who travels.
Extra cameras R100/month each on home plans, R180 on business plans. The box is included on a 12-month plan, or R2 500 once-off month-to-month. Emergency help calls are never rationed — if you press help, we call, every time.
Security gets sold with a lot of noise. This is the same wording that appears in our contract.
AI on your existing cameras, notifying you by WhatsApp, email and phone when a person is detected in an area you chose — with the photo, and one button to call for help.
Nobody is dispatched to your property. We are a notification service working on a best-effort basis, on cameras, power and internet we don't control. Many customers keep armed response and add us in front of it.
Cameras unplugged, a covered lens, a dead line — detection stops. When that happens we tell you the site is offline, instead of letting you believe you're covered.
All analysis happens on the box inside your property. No video is uploaded, ever. Only stills of genuine detections are kept, for the days on your plan, then deleted automatically.
No. If your cameras are IP cameras, or run through a DVR/NVR that streams RTSP — which covers almost everything installed in the last decade — they will work. Our box finds them on your network and you enter the camera password once.
No, and we won't pretend otherwise. We watch and we notify; nobody is dispatched. Plenty of customers put their existing armed-response company on the help-button list, so one press reaches them with a photo already in hand.
The box sips power and runs off the same small UPS already keeping your router alive. If power or internet does go down, detection stops — and we message you to say the site is offline, so you always know where you stand. We wrote up the full picture, with the wattages.
No. The AI looks for people, and you draw the exact area of each camera that matters, so the street and pavement are excluded. If a camera does start alerting repeatedly it rests itself for an hour and tells you why — so you never learn to ignore your own alarm. Here's why ordinary motion alerts cry wolf.
Never. Every frame is analysed on the box in your home or business. Only a still image and a line of text are sent, and only when a person is actually detected.
Yes — from two people on Basic Home up to ten on Business Plus. Everyone gets the WhatsApp; you choose who gets phoned, and in what order.
Reply DISARM on WhatsApp, or tap it from the menu. There's a Home mode that watches the perimeter but leaves the inside alone, and night-only schedules so daytime traffic never disturbs you.
One visit, usually under an hour. We plug in the box, it discovers your cameras, we draw the watch areas with you, and we send a test alert to your phone before we leave — so you've seen it work before you pay for a month.
Send us a WhatsApp. Tell us what cameras you have — we'll say honestly whether they'll work, and quote you in the same chat.
