Do you know?

What it means preventing crime? Have you ever thought about becoming a victim of crime? Sure you have, and you might have considered some precaution. Think again how your present level of security really helps preventing anything from happening. Sure, tempering your electric fence, your beams or alarms may result in an audible alarm, but who really cares? Your next door neighbours, you don’t even know by name, your armed response, already overwhelmed by false alarms, or even worse, the Police?

Do you know?

Modern time crimes require more than just deterring, monitoring, alarms or response.
How do you handle invasion, armed robbery, hijacking or kidnapping, when every second counts 10-fold? How do you handle the time between an incident and the arrival of a response/ reaction team?  We at Roteck don’t sell “peace of mind”, we assist to solve serious threats in real time and on site with our unique holistic preventive approach, and active defence units. Contact us for a free risk assessment and advice.

X-ray scanners are the first choice for security threat detection in handbags, travel baggage and parcels, giving the operator an inside view and indication of drugs, explosives, guns and other prohibited content. But it does not stop here, technology is available to scan entire vehicles, trucks or containers, for instance for border control. Please find our vehicle scanner catalogue here.

Another important application for X-ray scanners is quality control in manufacturing processes. Please contact us for details and advice on suitable technology.

When temperatures rise so do crime rates. This article was the birth moment of our crime prevention concept as the simple reverse conclusion was, when temperatures drop so do crime rates. Unfortunately, there are worldwide no statistics which compare present weather conditions with crime rates. But simple logic applied again, creating bad weather conditions on spot and on demand assists in preventing crime in planning or progress. We decided for rain as the easiest and most reliable way to reach this goal: unexpected surprise, a high grade of direct impact, and most inconvenience with minimum effort, and most important, within the legal framework.

Our active defence units are based on water cannons, worldwide applied and approved to curb riots, but reasonable downsized and adopted to realistic domestic threats, and feed directly from the pressure of your water outlets. You may say, slightly similar to an irrigation system but with a crucial difference: we switch the pressurised water immediately at the nozzle, directed, and on point. To increase the efficiency we recommend hot water (if available), and/ or mixtures with liquid enhancers like dye, smelling, foaming or itching agents, depending on the desired effect.

Most important to keep criminals out of your secure comfort zone are our in-house developed automated/ semi-automated, and precise trigger units, installed at all critical points of entry.

For all mobile, portable or temporary applications we use similar equipment, but pump operated. For most temporary applications (e.g. rentals), we offer quick installation clamps, installing and removing our trigger units in minutes and without a trace.

You are still in doubt? Please try the impact of water with a simple garden hose, dressed up to get properly soaked, mid body directed, and randomly for the additional surprise effect.

We don’t watch, monitor, or record crime for entertainment, or fight wars we cannot win. If you are looking for “crime porn”, we recommend Yusuf Abramjee’s crime watch on eNCA, every Sunday @ 19.30 - we just aim to prevent the boring worst from happening…

Our original web domain roteck.co.za was recently hijacked for ransom by a criminal “web developer” from Pretoria, pretending to be a professional. Special thanks to the enablers and supporters, Register Domain SA and ZA Registry Consortium.

It took us 5 “professionals”, lots of time and patience to refurbish our web presence. The first two disappeared after receiving a deposit; the 3rd one actually did a good job, unfortunately chose a hostile hosting environment without any access and control, and showed up a very unprofessional behavior, after my request to release me from the hosting jail. The 4th one was even worse and hijacked the domain, supported by Register Domain SA and ZA Registry Consortium.

Finally, Warren from Warrenweb fixed the mess, quick, honest, and affordable.
