CCTV monitoring makes antivirus useful when the same computer handles viewing, recordings or admin access. Keep the software genuine, set up basic backups, and choose among the listed Microsoft 365 plan levels of R39, R159 and R199 only if those extras match the user need.
Dell SE2726H 27in FHD 144Hz at R1,797 suits a small CCTV monitoring desk where you want a larger monitor for checking camera feeds without paying for extras you will not use.
For most home or small-business security screens, antivirus software is not the first upgrade to buy. A clearer display helps more if the CCTV PC or recorder is already locked down and used only for monitoring. The Dell SE2726H gives you a 27in FHD panel and 144Hz at R1,797, so it is a sensible pick for watching multiple feeds on one screen.
The Dell SE2426H 23.8in FHD at R1,532 is better when the desk is narrow or the screen sits beside a till, router, or recorder. The smaller 23.8in size still gives a full HD view, which is enough for checking entrances, storerooms, or parking angles during the day.
At a reception desk, workshop counter, or shop office, the Dahua LM27 100Hz at R1,500 is a practical CCTV display because the 27in size gives staff more room to keep camera tiles visible while still handling normal counter work nearby. The 100Hz spec is not essential for CCTV, but the price makes it strong value for a dedicated viewing screen.
The MSI PRO MP275W at R1,850 also fits a cleaner front-office setup where the monitor stays visible to staff but not customers. It costs more than the Dahua LM27, yet it remains in the same practical range for a tidy monitoring station.
Ready to choose the right monitor? Use Dell SE2726H 27in FHD 144Hz at R1,797 as the monitor shortlist benchmark, then check whether its listed spec matches the space, workload, and upgrade path.
CCTV monitoring should protect the computer used for viewing, managing recordings or handling security-related files.
Genuine software is important where monitoring access and saved footage form part of the same daily setup.
Basic backups help if footage exports, settings or related documents are damaged by malware or user error.
The Microsoft 365 choice should follow the number of users, using only the listed R39, R159 and R199 plans.
CCTV work benefits from fewer software risks because monitoring machines are often trusted without frequent checks.
Antivirus is worthwhile when the monitoring PC also stores exports, passwords, reports or day-to-day business files.

Good cable management routes power and data cables behind the motherboard tray and clear of fan paths, measurably improving airflow over a case full of loose cables. Evetech builds route cables this way at the factory, worth repeating whenever the case reopens later.

A fibre connection only stays alive if the entire chain, ONT, router and any mesh node or switch, is on backup power, since missing even one link breaks the connection regardless of the others. Evetech's mini DC UPS units cover this full low-draw chain in one go.

For the RX 9070, 1440p is the more consistent monitor choice, while 4K remains achievable only in lighter titles or with upscaling engaged. Evetech stocks both formats, though most buyers of this card get better value from a 1440p high-refresh panel.
