On 30 June 2025, the Prince Albert Municipality took a powerful step toward improving community safety by installing a modern security camera in Tortelduif Street, North End — an area struggling with rising crime. In collaboration with Smhart Security, a trusted South African security provider, the municipality aims to deter illegal activities and restore peace of mind to residents. The camera, equipped with advanced surveillance technology such as number plate recognition, represents a significant investment in the community’s wellbeing.
Mayor Linda Jaquet, councillors, and municipal officials attended the installation, which was enthusiastically welcomed by residents. “This camera is more than just technology — it’s our commitment to ensuring safety for all,” said Jaquet. “We want North End to be a place where families feel safe and can thrive.” Her words resonated deeply with local residents who have long been eager for change.
Smhart Security’s expertise — known for rapid response and cutting-edge systems — ensures that the camera will serve as a strong deterrent, with real-time monitoring enabling swift action. This initiative, supported by Smhart’s proven technology, underscores Prince Albert Municipality’s dedication to creating a safer, happier community.
