Site, land and building security in Africa for the diaspora

Listed companies

Video surveillance: IP, 4G or solar?

With mains power and Internet, IP cameras and a recorder are enough. Without power, solar-powered cameras connected over 4G are the most common solution for remote sites. Check mobile coverage in your area before choosing.

Guarding, alarms and remote monitoring: how to combine them

Guards provide physical presence, alarms detect intrusion, remote monitoring alerts you and rapid response acts. For a site, a night guard combined with 4G cameras and motion lighting offers a good cost-to-protection ratio.

Securing a site during construction

Fence the plot, store materials in a locked area, keep an in/out log, control visitor access and watch at night to cut theft sharply. Documented monitoring also helps insurance claims.

Understanding prices

Always separate equipment, installation, maintenance and monthly costs (guarding, monitoring, cloud). Displayed prices are indicative and must be confirmed by a written quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a security camera cost in Africa?

Depending on country, technology and installation, from tens to several hundred thousand CFA francs per camera. Use DiasporaBuild indicative prices and compare several quotes.

How do I secure a site without electricity?

Solar 4G cameras, motion-sensing floodlights and a night guard. The free DiasporaBuild assessment suggests the right combination for your site.

4G or Wi-Fi camera for a plot of land?

4G suits plots without fixed Internet but with mobile coverage. Wi-Fi needs a connection installed on site.

How do I choose a security provider?

Compare coverage area, services (installation, maintenance, response), reviews and profile verification. Our 'Recommended for your need' ranking is explainable and never influenced by payment.

How much does a guard cost?

Monthly cost depends on country, city and number of guards (day, night, 24h). Ask for a detailed quote including replacement and supervision.
