Here is a question worth sitting with: If your home was broken into tonight, would your current security setup have stopped it?
For many South African homeowners, the honest answer is no — not because they don’t want proper security, but because a full professional security installation can feel financially out of reach. A quality CCTV system, alarm, electric fence, and gate motor together can easily run to R25,000 or more.
That is exactly why Repair On Call has introduced financing for home security installations. You get the full system installed now, by certified professionals — and you pay it off in monthly instalments that fit your budget.
What Exactly Can You Finance?
Through our financing partners, you can spread the cost of any of the following:
- Full CCTV camera systems — IP and analogue HD cameras, DVR, remote smartphone viewing, night vision
- Complete alarm systems — perimeter beams, panic buttons, motion detectors, armed response integration
- Electric fencing — full perimeter installation with compliance certificate
- Gate motor and garage door automation — including battery backup for load shedding
- Intercom and access control systems
- Bundled security packages — combine multiple systems into one monthly repayment
A Real Example: What Does It Actually Cost Per Month?
Let us say you want a full home security upgrade — CCTV system, alarm, and electric fencing. A professional installation of this scope typically costs between R18,000 and R28,000 depending on your property size and the specific equipment.
Financed over 24 months, that translates to roughly R900 to R1,400 per month — less than many South Africans spend on streaming services, gym memberships, and eating out combined.
But here is the key difference: your streaming subscription adds zero value to your property and provides zero protection for your family. A professionally installed security system does both.
Why Financing Makes More Sense Than Waiting
The most common reason homeowners delay a security upgrade is that they are waiting until they have saved enough money. This is understandable — but it comes with a risk that is easy to underestimate.
Every month you wait, your property is exposed. South Africa has one of the highest residential burglary rates in the world. The cost of a single break-in — in stolen goods, structural damage, insurance excess, and the emotional toll on your family — almost always exceeds the cost of the security installation that would have prevented it.
Financing removes the waiting period. Your home is protected from day one of installation, while you repay the cost gradually over time.
