Control room software for security teams

The vehicle that came back.

Your operators see hundreds of vehicles a shift. Occura remembers every one, so the car that was here on Tuesday raises an alert when it comes back on Friday. And it runs the rest of the shift too: reports, escorts, rosters, faults and checklists.

One place for the shift

More than a plate check.

Inside Occura

What the control room sees

Occura wall display

The wall display, on a screen the whole room can see.

Sample data. The registrations shown are invented and do not exist.

Every change recorded and auditable.

Built with POPIA in mind.

Each person sees only what their role allows.

Runs on the screens and phones you already have, no extra hardware.

A few practical questions

Before you start.

A few things you may want to know before we talk.

Do we need new hardware?

No. A browser on your control room PCs and the phones you have.

Can guards at a post use it?

Yes. A phone at the post gets its own device login, and the guard picks their name each time.

Does it work with WhatsApp?

Yes. Escort messages, fault alerts and team pictures are sent from your own WhatsApp number.

How long does setup take?

Most teams are running within a week. We load your people, places and roster with you.

What about our data?

It belongs to you. Every change is logged, and access is by role.
