Linksfield ridge alarms: protecting homes with elevated views and complex boundaries
Linksfield Ridge is about 8 km south-east of Sandton City. A Linksfield Ridge property's main feature is its position on the slope, offering panoramic views. This also presents the main security challenge. Homes are often set on terraced ground with long, winding boundary walls. An intruder's approach is not always from the street, but can be from lower down the ridge itself. The large glass doors and windows designed to capture the view become the most obvious points of entry to protect.
Our approach is to secure the property in layers, starting from the base of the stand. We use carefully placed outdoor beams to create detection zones across the terraced garden, accounting for the steep gradients to prevent false alarms. This first layer gives a warning long before anyone reaches the house itself. We then add protection to the doors and windows, focusing on the large glass areas that open onto patios and balconies.
Living on the ridge means enjoying the outdoor space. We configure the alarm with multiple zones so you can secure the lower garden while still using the patio or pool area in the evening. This allows you to keep the expansive feeling of the property without compromising on security. We make sure the system is armed where it needs to be, while you move freely in the spaces you use most often.

Questions from Linksfield Ridge
My garden is on several different levels down the slope. Can outdoor beams work effectively?
Yes. We install beams specifically for terraced properties, placing them to create separate zones on each level. This follows the contour of your land and ensures reliable detection without being affected by the steep gradient.
How can we secure our large patio doors without blocking the view with bars?
We place discreet outdoor beams across the patio area. This creates an invisible barrier that detects an intruder before they reach the glass. The alarm can be armed at night, giving you an early warning while leaving your view completely unobstructed.
