Painting Richards Bay black and yellow
Ready to protect the Richards Bay community

Not sure whether you can truly trust your security service provider? Nite Owl Security, which has been securing commercial and residential properties in Empangeni for the past 15 years, is now operational in Richards Bay.
With a solid reputation of security excellence, Nite Owl has over the years become one of Empangeni’s most trusted security companies – and now Richards Bay business owners and residents can experience the same peace of mind when it comes to their safety.
Big enough to PROTECT, small enough to CARE!
Criminals simply do not target Nite Owl properties. This is the confident stance of Nite Owl Director Mark Joseph, who boasts 30 years’ experience in the security field.
‘We launched Nite Owl in Empangeni in 2006 after identifying a need for a local security service provider that was customer-centric and service orientated. We identified a similar need in Richards Bay, and this is what we aim to bring to Richards Bay.’ Mark Joseph, Nite Owl Director
Having been involved in the security industry all his life, Mark knows everything there is to know about the business and prides himself in being a hands-on director who is involved in every aspect – from CCTV installations to operating the control room.

His staff are highly skilled and dedicated. They are all screened prior to employment and the latest management tools are used to ensure that good conduct is maintained. The safety and protection of their clients take first priority.
‘Our clients are our greatest asset. We place them first.’ Mark Joseph
AI technology is here
Clients who sign up with Nite Owl Security will benefit from the Artificial Intelligence (AI) concept to be introducing next year. Using human, object and vehicle detection, the AI CCTV system will allow off-site monitoring and act as a virtual guard that will be able to immediately pick up the presence of any intruder and send out an alert.
Facial and number plate recognition will revolutionise access control as automatic gates could be programmed to only open for pre-registered vehicles or individuals. These are just some of the many possibilities of AI surveillance that Nite Owl Security will soon be able to offer its clients.
