Is a wrist rest actually worth buying for CCTV monitoring in SA?

Dell SE2726H 27in FHD 144Hz at R1,797 suits a CCTV desk where one operator needs a larger monitor that keeps camera tiles readable without pushing the budget too high. A wrist rest can help with comfort, but the bigger upgrade is often screen size and refresh smoothness, because monitoring work means long hours of small movements, quick glances, and repeated mouse control.

A better screen matters more than the wrist rest

The Dell SE2726H 27in FHD 144Hz at R1,797 is the strongest first pick here because the 27in size gives camera feeds more breathing room, while FHD keeps the setup simple. The 144Hz spec is also useful for a workstation that feels responsive during live viewing, switching layouts, and checking recorded footage.

If the desk is tight, the Dell SE2426H 23.8in FHD at R1,532 makes sense as a smaller, lower-cost option. It still gives a proper FHD view, but the 23.8in size is better suited to a compact counter or side desk where keyboard, mouse, paperwork, and the DVR controls all share space.

Small-business CCTV counter setup

For a shop counter, guard room, reception desk, or back-office security corner, the Dahua LM27 100Hz at R1,500 is a practical fit because the 27in size helps when several camera feeds are open at once. The 100Hz spec is a useful step above basic office viewing, especially when the screen is used throughout the day.

The MSI PRO MP275W at R1,850 is another good option when the desk setup needs a clean productivity-style screen for mixed use. For this kind of work, buy the screen first, then add a wrist rest only if the operator still feels strain after adjusting chair height, mouse position, and viewing distance.
