Your Goat Is Not an Alarm System – Let’s Talk Home Security in Africa

You’ve probably heard it before—or maybe you’ve said it yourself—”We don’t need CCTV, the dogs will bark if anything happens.” Or the classic village setup: a goat tied to the front porch as both a pet and the unofficial security officer.

Let’s face it: Africa is vibrant, dynamic, and sometimes… chaotically creative when it comes to solving problems. But when it comes to home and business security, creativity alone might not cut it.

The Great African Security Hack

In many neighborhoods across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond, we’ve mastered the “shout and run” security protocol. You hear a noise at 2 AM, shout “Who’s there?!”, and if the thief doesn’t answer politely, you run outside with your flashlight and neighborhood WhatsApp group on standby.

But what if there was a better way?

Enter Smart Security by Teqmidas

At Teqmidas I.T Solutions, we’re not here to replace your goat or your grandmother’s third sense (you know she always knows when something’s not right). We’re here to support them with actual tools: CCTV cameras, electric fences, motion sensors, remote monitoring apps, and more.

Imagine this:
Mr. Kofi, a store owner in Kasoa, used to sleep in his shop “just in case.” He didn’t trust night security. One month after installing our affordable 4-camera CCTV kit with motion alerts, he stopped sleeping with one eye open. He now monitors his store from his bed—and yes, he even caught a customer trying to sneak a tin of milk into their socks. We’re not saying names. Let’s just say “Aunty was surprised the footage was in HD.”

Business Isn’t Safe Without It

If you run a provision store, boutique, fuel station, or even a school, security is your first business partner. Losing stock or facing break-ins can drain your hustle before you even break even. That’s why our Business Security Solutions bundle includes:

• 24/7 remote monitoring via mobile
• Power-backup compatible DVRs (because “lights out” doesn’t mean “blind”)
• Discrete installation (so it’s not the first thing the thief cuts)
• Tamper alerts and audio recording where legal

But What About the Cost?

Here’s the funny part: most people think security is expensive until they lose their laptop, freezer, or that fresh goat they were saving for Christmas. Then suddenly, CCTV sounds cheap.

Truth is, Teqmidas has solutions for every budget, and our team will guide you from consultation to installation without the “technical plenty talk.”

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re in Takoradi or Tamale, Abuja or Kisumu, the future of African homes and businesses is smart and secure. Don’t wait for another break-in or “mysteriously missing fowl” to act.

Your goat can rest now.
Let Teqmidas do the watching.
