Alexandra: cameras for properties on busy roads and shared boundaries
Alexandra is about 4 km east of Sandton City. In Alexandra, many properties sit right up against busy roads like London Road or share a boundary wall with neighbours. With the mix of formal houses and informal dwellings, access points are often directly off the pavement or over a shared wall. The constant foot traffic near hubs like the Pan Africa Shopping Centre means an intruder does not stand out, so the system needs to focus on the immediate perimeter of your property.
Because of this density, we position cameras to look along your own walls and watch your gates and doors, not into the neighbour's yard. For a business on a street like Watt Avenue, this means a tight focus on the entrance and customer area. Many properties in Alex have older wiring from previous systems. We can often reuse this sound cabling to upgrade you to a new HD system, which saves on installation costs.
For business owners in Alexandra, being able to find and use footage after an incident is important. When your property is on a busy street, you need to be able to isolate a specific event quickly for the police or for your own records. We make sure the system is set up to make this simple, and we show you how to find, playback, and export the exact clip you need before we leave.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Alexandra
Will my cameras still record during load shedding?
Only if they have a power backup. We can connect your recorder and cameras to a battery backup unit, or UPS, so the system stays on and continues recording through a power outage.
My neighbour's camera points at my yard. What can I do?
A camera should be positioned to view the property it is installed on. We always angle cameras to respect the privacy of neighbours. it pays to speak to your neighbour directly as they may not be aware of the camera's view.
If something on your CCTV camera setup in Alexandra 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.
