Operations update
Congratulations to our alert KSS Control Room Staff and KSS Reaction Officers who have affected more arrests, and continue to respond timeously to clients and alarm activations.

TELEGRAM APP
More efficient communication changes are taking place at Knight Security Solutions (KSS), as we have migrated our SMS system over to the Telegram App.

Telegram has effective new interactive features, which allow our clients (you) the ability to receive alarm activations, log job cards or test your alarm system through the Telegram App’s messenger platform.

KSS officially launch the Telegram App and moved clients over on 1 May 2020.

KSS requests that those clients who do not have an Android or Apple cell phone, and are unable to download Apps, but still require SMS’s to be sent to them, to please email our control room on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call our offices on 033 330 5911 and speak to either Monique or Sashen. Advise them accordingly, and they will ensure that you are still able to receive necessary alarm information via sms.

If you require any assistance with downloading the Telegram App, please contact our offices or pop into our offices at 5 Old Main Road, Merrivale, and we will gladly assist you.

KSS has written step-by-step installation instructions for the Telegram App. Please check these out on our website or Facebook page.

KSS - keeping up with the times and continually evolving and paving the way in the security industry.
