Alarms for Craighall Park's big stands, gardens and cottages
Craighall Park is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. A Craighall Park house usually stands well back on a large stand, with garden on three or four sides, big trees and often a cottage or staff quarters near the back wall. An alarm that only covers the inside of the house gives its first warning when someone is already at a window, and on a stand this size they can spend a long time in the garden first.
So we work from the boundary in: beams along the garden and the driveway, detectors and contacts on the house, and zones that let you arm the garden and the downstairs at night while the bedrooms stay open. We aim the beams past the branches and shrubs that move in the wind, because a garden zone that false-alarms is a garden zone people stop arming.
The cottage or garage goes on its own area with its own code, so whoever lives or works there can arm it without touching the main house. Many alarms here are older; where the panel is sound we build on it, and where parts are no longer made Tyson says so and quotes for a replacement in writing.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Craighall Park
Can we arm the garden at night and still move around the house?
Yes. With the outside and the inside on separate zones, you can arm the garden beams and the downstairs while the bedrooms stay open.
Can the cottage have its own alarm code?
Yes. We put the cottage on its own area with its own code, so whoever lives there can arm and disarm it without touching the main house.
