Watchu Security

A quick shout out to the awesome Lee Turpitt

Earlier this year, Lee was named a finalist for Outstanding Security Consultant at the 2026 New Zealand OSPAs

The work Lee does for our clients day in and day out is second to none, and we’re incredibly proud to have him as a part of the Watchu team!

Server costs are rising globally.

We’re seeing server hardware pricing jump 20-40%, driven largely by sharp increases in DRAM and hard drive costs.

For video management servers and high-retention sites, that means higher project costs and longer lead times, especially for those higher-spec builds.

Our advice for your next project? Plan early. A quick conversation now could reduce cost risk and keep your project on track.

We’re getting ready for our annual Watchu Security sales meeting, soon to be held in Cambridge, and the team is already buzzing.

It’s always a great chance to regroup, refocus, and set our direction for the year ahead.

This year, we’re dialling in on some key growth areas, especially our high‑end Class 5/Type A security solutions, advanced perimeter protection systems, and our expanding range of high‑security access gates and doors designed for government and critical utility sites. These environments demand tough, reliable, and fully integrated protection, and we’re excited to keep pushing the standard.

Looking forward to catching up with the crew and mapping out another strong year for Watchu.

What an absolutely unreal day at Meremere a couple of Sundays ago! 🏁🔥

Our 1st Annual Charity Drag Day was one for the books. The sun was shining, the cars were on point, and the petrol heads fully got into the spirit of the day. There were some seriously fast cars on show, a few bruised egos at the end of the strip, and plenty of friendly banter and competition flying around…all in good fun.

We were proud to host the day alongside Treadlite and ST Automotive, with awesome support from local Cambridge businesses and the Cambridge lads who helped make the day happen.

It was also great to see such a solid crowd trackside; spectators, supporters, and families all turning up to watch the action and get behind a great cause.

Together, we’re incredibly proud to have raised just over $5,500 for Movember, supporting men’s mental health 💙

Thanks to everyone who raced, donated, helped out, and came along to support.

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year ….
📅 Save the date: TBC - some time in November 2026

Bigger, better, faster… and hopefully even more moustaches as we do it all again for Movember!
