Off-Site Video Monitoring Operator

From a chair in a remote video monitoring centre in Fourways, you guide officers in the field to where they are needed. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Fourways, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Keep call-out times and client passwords up to date
• Track stolen vehicles on the map and guide recovery teams
• Dispatch the nearest response vehicle over the radio
• Talk down intruders over on-site speakers when the system allows
• Pull and save video footage for incident investigations

• Clear speaking voice on radio and phone
• Computer literate and quick on a keyboard
• No criminal convictions (vetting is done before you start)
• Good memory for sites, streets and procedures

• Path to senior controller or supervisor
• Training on the monitoring software
• Indoor, air-conditioned work environment

• Mention any software you have used: alarm monitoring, CCTV or even call centre systems. Control rooms need people who learn screens fast.
• Some companies give a typing and map test. Practise finding streets on a map quickly before the interview.
