Duxbury Networking has been appointed the exclusive distributor of Milesight surveillance solutions in South Africa, expanding its surveillance portfolio with a platform designed to deliver AI-driven analytics, rapid deployment, and open integration for modern security environments.

The appointment strengthens Duxbury’s surveillance pillar, which focuses on delivering integrated video, analytics, storage, and monitoring solutions that generate actionable insight rather than passive footage. Milesight adds a flexible, performance-driven surveillance option that complements Duxbury’s existing portfolio, enabling the company to design solutions suited to a broader range of project requirements, operational environments, and budget structures.

Milesight’s platform is built around embedded AI analytics as standard, an open architecture to avoid vendor lock-in, and streamlined deployment to reduce installation time and complexity. This aligns with growing demand in South Africa for surveillance systems that scale efficiently, integrate cleanly into broader security and network infrastructure, and deliver intelligence at the edge without adding operational overhead.

“Organisations are no longer looking for cameras alone,” says Leandro da Cunha, surveillance business unit lead at Duxbury Networking. “They want intelligence, integration, and speed of deployment. Milesight provides a platform with strong embedded analytics, open integration capabilities, and rapid setup. That allows our engineers to design surveillance solutions that deliver insight quickly, while remaining flexible as customer requirements evolve.”

He adds that the ability to deploy systems efficiently is particularly relevant in South African operating environments. “Many projects face constrained site access, limited technical resources, and tight implementation windows. Technology that moves from unboxing to live video in minutes rather than hours reduces risk during deployment and improves time to value for customers.”

Duxbury emphasises that Milesight is expanding, not replacing, its existing surveillance ecosystem. Established enterprise and critical-infrastructure platforms remain central to many designs. The addition of Milesight provides an alternative where project scale, rollout speed, or cost structure requires a different approach.

“Our surveillance strategy is built on using the right tool for the right environment,” says Da Cunha. “Different operational realities demand different technology choices. Milesight strengthens our ability to match solution design to customer needs without compromising on performance or reliability.”

Beyond distribution, Duxbury Services supports surveillance projects through site surveys, system design, network integration, commissioning, and ongoing support. This ensures that surveillance deployments perform as intended in real-world African conditions, from dense urban campuses to remote industrial sites.

“Surveillance is no longer isolated from the rest of the technology environment. It must integrate into networks, security operations, and data platforms. Our role is to ensure global innovation becomes a practical, reliable deployment in local conditions. This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver that outcome,” says Da Cunha.
