Grunter Services (Pty) Ltd · Since 2021
We design and run the software that South African security, ISP, and emergency-response businesses build their operations on — Gruntex, Vexcare, and Guardian — and we host and build the websites that bring everyone else online.
Gruntex watches your live CCTV for fire, tells real threats apart from false alarms, and reads number plates — all in real time, with photo alerts sent straight to your phone.
AI continuously watches your feeds for smoke and flames — not just heat, and not only when something moves. It checks every enabled camera on a schedule, so a developing fire is spotted even when nothing else is happening on-site, then raises a high-priority alarm with a snapshot.
Every camera alarm is read by AI within seconds and described in plain English — how many people and what they're wearing, any vehicles (colour, type, and whether they're moving or parked), and animals. A parked car wakes nobody; a person on-site does. Alarms re-prioritise automatically so operators focus on genuine threats.
Gruntex reads number plates from ordinary CCTV using on-premise, GPU-accelerated AI vision — no dedicated ANPR camera or gantry. If the human eye can read the plate, so can Gruntex. Every read is captured with a photo, checked against your own watchlist, and a flagged plate triggers an instant siren, push and photo. Plate images are archived on-site for a full year.
The Grunter Ecosystem
Every product under Grunter Services is built in-house, used in real operations, and engineered to scale with the business running it.
A white-label, multi-tenant operating system for armed response, CCTV, and alarm monitoring companies — alarm receiving, AI camera analysis, ANPR, firearms & PSIRA compliance, billing, and executive reporting in one platform.
View Platform ISP Support AppA white-label customer support app for internet service providers — ticketing, network outage broadcasts, in-app speed testing, AI support chat, and full SLA tracking for staff and admins.
View Platform Emergency ResponseA mobile panic-button app connecting clients to live response officers — instant GPS alerts, automated welfare check-ins, OB-numbered incident reports, and a real-time officer dashboard.
View PlatformWhy Grunter Services
Live dashboards, WebSocket alerts, and instant notifications — our platforms react the moment something happens, not on the next page refresh.
Built so a single platform can serve many client companies, each with their own branding, data, and access — without rebuilding anything.
From camera threat analysis to support chat, AI is wired in to cut response time — not bolted on as a gimmick.
Built in the Free State, compliant with South African regulation — PSIRA, the Firearms Control Act, and local operating realities baked in from day one.
Under the hood
Backend, frontend, mobile apps, AI integration, infrastructure, and hosting — all handled in-house, so nothing gets lost between a developer and an agency and a hosting provider.
Hosting & Web Development
From one-page launch sites to full e-commerce stores, plus hosting that scales from Shared right up to fully managed VPS, and domain registration across 90+ extensions. If you can think it, we can build it and keep it online.
