What clients say
Trusted across the East Rand
“CMS has been monitoring our home for three years. When we had an alarm activation at 2am, the armed response arrived quickly and handled everything calmly and professionally. That kind of local presence is exactly why we chose CMS.”
Annelie van der Berg
“We run a light industrial site in Boksburg and security has always been a concern. CMS set up a patrol schedule and monitoring solution that actually fits how we operate. It’s not a one-size package — they assessed us properly first.”
Brendan Trollip
“After a spate of break-ins in our street, our body corporate engaged CMS for a community patrol solution. The visibility alone has made a difference. Residents feel safer, and the communication from the control room is excellent.”
