Broadacres: cameras for estate entrances and individual homes
Broadacres is about 14 km north-west of Sandton City. In Broadacres, security is often layered. A home might be inside an estate like Saranton Estate or Ainfield, which has its own main gate on a road like Cedar Avenue. Within that, a cluster complex could have another layer of access control. This means a camera system needs to work at the scale of the entire estate, while also providing clear views of an individual front door or garden, without leaving blind spots between the two.
Our approach in Broadacres is to plan for the specific layer of security each camera serves. For a body corporate at an estate like Cedar Hills Private Estate, we focus on the access points, guardhouse, and shared internal roads. For an individual homeowner within that estate, we position cameras to cover their private space, such as a patio or garage entrance, making sure they do not overlook a neighbour's property or common areas.
For trustees and managing agents in Broadacres, managing who can view footage from common areas is as important as capturing it. Footage from gate or perimeter cameras belongs to the body corporate. It is important to have clear rules and separate logins for who can access or export recordings. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities which guides these rules, making a clear policy and controlled user access important.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Broadacres
Our estate has cameras, but can I install my own at my unit?
Yes, you can add your own system to cover your private property. We make sure cameras are positioned to view your own doors, garden or garage, and not your neighbours' homes or the common areas. It is always right to check your estate's conduct rules first.
Who is responsible for the gate cameras versus the ones at my house?
The body corporate or homeowners' association is responsible for cameras on common property, like the gatehouse and perimeter. You are responsible for the cameras on your own property. We can assess, service and repair both types of systems.
