When it comes to security, “good enough” is never enough. Not in South Africa, nor anywhere else in the world.
For over 30 years, ArxTech has been designing and manufacturing security systems that stand their ground against real, determined threats. Born in a country with one of the highest rates of violent crime globally, ArxTech’s products are built in reality, not only theory.
South Africa presents diverse security challenges across its vast landscape. ArxTech has experience securing everything from urban homes and businesses to remote farms and industrial sites. Rural properties, for example, often face unique threats like livestock theft and organised attacks, requiring specialised solutions for large perimeters and communication in areas with limited infrastructure.
Home invasions, forced entries, and organised syndicates remain persistent challenges too. This environment demands more from security providers than just a basic alarm and flashing light. ArxTech rose to the challenge by developing systems capable of resisting professional efforts to cut, jam, or bypass.
Every product is designed, developed, and manufactured in-house at their Centurion facility, with ICASA certification.
This control over design and production allows for flexibility across:
SmartArx systems are built to integrate with existing wired alarm peripherals. Whether it’s protecting an urban home, a corporate campus, or a remote farm, the technology adapts to the environment and the threat.
This adaptability is crucial. Criminal tactics evolve, but so does ArxTech. Their decades of experience studying criminal psychology have resulted in solutions not only to resist attacks but also to prevent them completely.
Why This Matters Globally
While ArxTech has been engineering solutions for Africa, its systems are increasingly relevant worldwide. In countries with lower crime rates, ArxTech offers both reassurance and an uncompromised standard of safety.
Think of it this way: if a vehicle is tested in the harshest desert, it won’t falter on a suburban road. ArxTech’s products, tested against South Africa’s punishing realities, are built to perform wherever safety is non-negotiable. When a system thrives in severe conditions, it excels everywhere.
From being the first company to communicate with alarm systems via SMS in the 1990s (as CellSecure) to today’s advanced SmartArx range, ArxTech has consistently pushed boundaries. Their services now extend beyond manufacturing into installation, maintenance, training, and even intelligence services, ensuring clients receive complete, end-to-end protection.
That’s why industries, businesses, and households continue to place their trust in systems that are as tough as the threats they face.
