(3) (a) No broken systems have been reported.
(b) The average cost for replacement of a complete system is R200 000-00.
(4) The 2022/2023 CCTV installation includes a 2-hour UPS system. Previously installed systems are dependent on generator power supply. A project to fit all police stations with power inverters is underway to ensure CCTV cameras will function throughout the duration of each load shedding session.
