With most intruder detection systems being blind, a staggering 99% of all alarm activations are false.
The result is minimal prevention and a less than 1% arrest rate.
This is a costly and ineffective security solution!

Fight back technology
Macado prides itself in the implementation of the latest most advanced technology based solutions in an attempt to proactively fight off intruders before damage can be caused. Each Fight Back solution is carefully designed and integrated to provide an effective industry specific solution.
Some Fight Back solutions:
High speed fog is ejected on verification of intruders or threat. It causes total disorientation and makes it impossible to see. Fog is not dangerous to people and animals and does not leave residuals.

Amplified HORN speakers are strategically placed around premises. The control room then dials into the panel & verbally challenges intruders with personalised messages.

What Clients Say About us
PARTNER OPPORTUNITIES
Until now people have been protecting their families and assets with ‘blind alarms’ or CCTV. Both of which offer zero detection in the event of a total power outage. Our primary product is the Videofied Eskom-free intruder alarm system complete with video verification and backup support that may be purchased outright on rented.
In addition, our fight-back system allows us to shout directly at the intruders, contain their movements by remotely opening and closing doors or, if necessary, blast them with sirens, lights, fog or pepper gas. This is available to all customers that have risk concerns. Applications of this system are limited by the franchisees imagination, and already include, all commercial, retail and industrial sites, lock-ups, cigarette and liquor stores, petrol stations, cash offices, copper installations and homes.
