Atlas Security’s CCTV Network Delivers Results in Nelson Mandela Bay
Safety
Atlas Security’s advanced CCTV network continues to prove its effectiveness in keeping our city safe! Our state-of-the-art surveillance infrastructure has played a critical role in multiple successful operations, working hand in hand with the SAPS K9 Unit to combat crime.
An alert was triggered from our CCTV Pole in Upper Valley Road, South End when a vehicle linked to multiple crimes was detected. Our control centre immediately flagged the vehicle and tracked its movement as it passed key Atlas Security CCTV Poles, including Park Drive and our newly installed pole in 6th Avenue, Walmer. SAPS K9 swiftly responded, and the vehicle was successfully stopped on Heugh Road.
In another incident today, our control centre identified a vehicle passing our Water Road CCTV Pole, flagged for criminal activity linked to Cookhouse. The rapid response from authorities ensured the situation was monitored closely.
Our CCTV network also detected a vehicle on the N2 heading towards Nelson Mandela Bay, linked to a crime. SAPS K9 acted immediately, resulting in the arrest of two suspects. The vehicle, used in the commission of a crime, was impounded and towed.

Increased Business Break-Ins: Why Active Keyholders Are More Important Than Ever
December 23, 2025
Atlas Security has recently seen a sharp increase in business break-ins, particularly within industrial areas. Factories, warehouses and commercial premises that are closed after hours are increasingly being targeted by opportunistic criminals who know these sites are often quiet and unattended. During several recent incidents, our Control Room has experienced difficulty contacting registered keyholders when alerts are activated. In some instances, phones go unanswered or no keyholder is available to attend site when access is required. This significantly slows the response process and in high-risk incidents, delays increase exposure and risk.
