RSEC Security Equipment Centre

Security equipment, chosen properly

RSEC has been supplying installers, businesses and homeowners from the same corner in Bergvliet since 1993. Eleven brands, ten departments, and people behind the counter who have specified the same kit on real sites.

How we got here

Three decades on the same corner, under two names and three generations of ownership.

  1. 1993

    Roan Security opens

    The business starts trading in Bergvliet and spends two decades building a name for product knowledge rather than volume.

  2. 2014

    RSEC Security Equipment Centre

    Ronnie Thomson and Dylon Marais take the business on and rename it, keeping the counter and the customer base.

  3. 2016

    Registered as a Pty Ltd

    The company formalises, which is what opens the door to trade accounts and manufacturer distribution agreements.

  4. March 2025

    Paulo Veloza joins as director

    A third director comes in to push the technical side and the range further.

How we work

Trade counter first, website second

Everything on this site is quoted rather than checked out, because a security system is a specification, not a shopping basket. Send an enquiry with what you are looking at and you get back what fits, what is actually in stock, and what it costs.

  • Trade accounts see trade pricing once approved and logged in

  • Retail customers see retail pricing, no account needed to enquire

  • Nationwide delivery, or collect from the counter in Bergvliet

  • Technical advice from people who have installed the equipment

The people you deal with

Small enough that you get the same person twice, which is the whole point of a counter.

Common questions

Does RSEC sell to the public, or only to installers? +

Both. Anyone can buy over the counter and anyone can send an enquiry through this site. Registered trade accounts additionally see trade pricing once they are logged in.

Where is RSEC based? +

On the corner of Main and Hawthorne Roads in Bergvliet, Cape Town. The counter is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8.30am to 1pm, closed on public holidays.

Do you deliver outside Cape Town? +

Yes. Orders ship nationwide, and stock held in Cape Town can usually be collected the same day. Delivery cost and lead time come back with your quote.

How do I get trade pricing? +

Register an account and apply for trade. Once RSEC approves the application, trade pricing and the trade price list appear automatically whenever you are logged in.

Which brands does RSEC carry? +

Ajax, Centurion Systems, Dahua, ET Nice, EZVIZ, Hikvision, HiLook, IDS, Kocom, Nemtek, Olarm, Paradox, Takex, Texecom and Upowa among others. The full range on the price list is wider than what is listed online, so ask if you do not see it.
