By choosing the right camera for your specific needs, you can ensure effective surveillance and security for your home, business, hotel, lodge, animal watering hole or shopping centre – “The scope is unlimited.”
Hikvision is a well-known brand in the security surveillance industry, offering a wide range of CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) options to suit various needs and applications.
Power & Energy Solutions have installed various types of HIKVISION cameras which currently stream live from some of the most popular animal watering holes featured on AFRICAM (check them out https://www.africam.com/wildlife/live-african-wildlife-safari-streams). They have been an absolute hit with safari lodges and animal sanctuaries in the country!

Here’s the basic overview:
Hikvision cameras are like security guards for your home or business. They watch and record what’s happening, so you can feel safe and secure and watch from a distance.
Think of them like:
– A pair of eyes that never blink
-A watchdog that never sleeps
– A security system that’s always on the lookout
They come in different shapes and sizes, like:
– Small and round (dome cameras)
– Long and thin (bullet cameras)
– Ones that can move around (PTZ cameras)
Some cameras can even:
– See in the dark (night vision)
– Withstand rain and snow (weatherproof)
– Send alerts to your phone (smart cameras)
Use them to:
– Keep an eye on your front door
– Monitor your backyard
– Watch over your business
