Securing Norscot homes where established gardens meet public parks
Norscot is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. Many homes in Norscot are on large, established stands, with some properties bordering public green spaces like Norscot Koppies and Kingfisher Park. This creates a long, often quiet boundary that is not easily watched from the street. An intruder who crosses a back wall from a park has the cover of a large garden to approach the house itself, making an alarm that only covers windows and doors insufficient.
Our approach for these Norscot properties is to establish the first line of detection at the boundary. We use outdoor beams to create a secure perimeter within your garden, especially along walls that face onto parks or quiet roads like Leslie Avenue. This means the alarm signals your response company the moment someone enters the property, not when they are already at a window, giving everyone maximum time to react.
With large gardens being a key feature of Norscot life, we make sure the alarm system works with how you live. We use pet-tolerant detectors and strategically place beams so that your dogs can use the garden without triggering the system. By setting up separate zones, you can arm the outdoor perimeter while maintaining freedom of movement inside the house.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Norscot
My property backs onto Norscot Koppies. Will people in the park set off my garden beams?
No. The beams are installed to detect movement inside your property line, not outside it. We position them to create a curtain of detection just inside your wall, so activity in the public park itself is ignored.
We have large dogs that use the whole garden. Can we still have an outdoor alarm system?
Yes. We can use specific pet-tolerant beams or position standard beams high enough so that your dogs can move underneath them without triggering an alarm. This keeps your perimeter armed while allowing your pets freedom.
If something on your burglar alarm setup in Norscot is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
