The evolution of safety - Safe City
Welcome to
the evolution of safety.
Welcome to
vigilant neighbourhoods.
Welcome to
reduced crime rates.
Vumacam is proud to launch the SafeCity Initiative that brings together private and public law enforcement and the power of CCTV to tackle crime from a holistic, city-wide perspective.
CCTV works and it is time to grow the network, close the gaps where criminals can hide while helping protect those that cannot afford to protect themselves.

SafeCity is a collective effort and is supported by public law enforcement, the private security industry and the communities they serve.

Let’s turn the tide together so that “safe” is not just a four-letter word

Vumacam CEO Ricky Croock rallies all South Africans to tackle the crime epidemic.

In South Africa, the words “is it safe?” are probably used far more regularly than in most places. But we don’t mean things like “Is it safe to go outside in a thunderstorm?” or, “It’s not safe to play in traffic.” When we ask if it is safe for teenagers to go to a party or, to drive on a dark road at night, we understand the usual risks.
