Dear Clients

Incident report 19/04/2024

Kasselman Security Services
Load shedding will affect security!

Alarms:

With constant power failures, often twice daily in one area, alarm batteries will start to fail meaning alarms will not be able to send signals. Every time the power goes out we experience extremely high call volumes. Please call in with any accidental activations.


If your alarm battery has been in use for more than 6 months we strongly recommend that you replace it, especially if you are going away.


If you are going away you need a trusted person to regularly check that your alarm is functioning. Constant load shedding makes the monitoring of power failures very ineffective as thousands of power failures will occur daily.

Generators:

Generator theft will heavily increase as the re-sale value will increase because of load shedding. Make sure you use your Generator in a well-ventilated area as fumes are toxic. Remember to lock it up after use to avoid theft. Never refuel generator while it is operating and store reserve fuel carefully to avoid a fire hazard.


Gate Motors:/

Gate motor theft will also increase as their batteries will be sought by many. Have a secure bracket installed.

Remember to have an alternative access point other than just an electric motor to your yard.

Gate motor batteries will also start to fail from load shedding, meaning if it is your only access, emergency services and security won’t be able to enter should they need to.

Appliances and general safety:

Fridges and other appliances are also feeling the strain of load shedding. Remember that if your fridge breaks while you are away, all your food will rot. Have a trusted person check on your appliances while you are away Rather not stock up on food before leaving.


Storing frozen foods with a trusted person that is not going away is also advisable.

Candles and lamps pose a fire hazard and there are great alternative light sources – affordable solar lamps are available and make a great way to keep light in the home.



Ensure you don’t just rely on cell phone communication as cell towers could also feel the strain of load shedding. Your neighbour is your closest support, get to know them and assist each other.

WENKE VIR EIE VEILIGHEID VIR DIE GESIN:

♦ ‘n Ordentlike elektriese heining om jou huis, gekoppel aan ‘n alarmstelsel.

♦ ‘n Ordentlike alarmstelsel, waarvan BUITE WAARSKUWINGS soos Infra Rooi Strale (IR Beams) en Buite Passiewe (Outdoor PIR’s) die belangrikste is !!

♦ Jy MOET gewaarsku kan word as iemand by jou huis is/was terwyl jy weg was, al was dit net vir ‘n paar minute!!

♦ Jy kan GLAD NIE staatmaak op jou honde alleen nie – daar is meer as twintig maniere bekend om jou honde “uit te skakel” !!

♦ Jy MOET kan wakker word en kan reageer VOORDAT aanvallers binne in jou huis is in die nag !!

♦ Jy MOET ‘n Veiligheidsplan, sowel as ‘n Noodplan in werking hê en jou hele gesin moet dit ken, inoefen en kan toepas !!

♦ Jou planne MOET insluit ‘n “Veilige Kamer” in jou huis, waar julle veilig kan wees, indien nodig, tot hulp opdaag!

♦ Jy MOET die “tekens” kan raaksien op jou plaas dat daar ‘n aanval beplan word en dat daar vreemde beweging en persone is, asook vreemde gedrag by jou werkers !!

♦ Vee jou paaie gereeld met sakke, takke of kettings agter ‘n voertuig of selfs motorfiets – dit is ‘n goeie afskrikmiddel en kan vir jou vreemde “tekens” of spore uitwys !!

♦ Kyk daagliks vir “tekens” soos sigaretstompies, vuurhoutjies, blikke, bottels, sitplekke, spore, urinering plekke, ontlasting plekke, ens, ens (enigiets uit plek of vreemd)

♦ As jou honde, veral snags, in ‘n sekere rigting of rigtings blaf, gaan kyk die volgende dag in daardie rigting(s) vir iets vreemds. Kyk ook by jou hekke of heining vir urinering kolle of ander “tekens”.

♦ As jy sitplekke of spore opmerk, gaan sit op daardie plekke en kyk terug na jou huis – kyk wat kan jy alles sien van daar af – iewers behoort jy ‘n “swak plek” in jou veiligheid stelsel raak te sien – ‘n plek om oor die draad te klim, ‘n venster met swak of geen diefwering, ens, ens. Gee dadelik aandag aan dit !!

♦ Jou beste hulp is jou naaste bure – werk saam met hulle ‘n Noodplan uit en kyk uit vir mekaar se welsyn en veiligheid. Behoort ook aan ‘n groter veiligheids organisasie soos bv ‘n gpf / Plaaswag/landelike veilgheid/ Buurtwag en neem AKTIEF daaraan deel en die hele gesin sit rol spelers se sel nommers op speeddial !!

♦ Nood kommunikasie soos 2-rigting radios is absoluut noodsaaklik – gebruik dit te alle tye !!

♦ Wees 24/7 paraat, let op wat aangaan op jou plaas en om jou huis, die belangrikste – “DIT (‘n aanval) KAN MET JOU GEBEUR, ENIGE TYD EN ENIGE PLEK.

Security tips to follow when going away on holiday:

1. Inform KVD control room(KCR) when going away(account must be paid up to date).
2. Test the alarm system.(if your alarm is faulty, don’t leave it to the last minute to request a technician to come out and check your system).

4. Suspend newspaper and magazine deliveries.(Ask someone to clear out your post-box on a regular basis).
