Corlett gardens: cameras for freestanding homes and sectional title perimeters
Corlett Gardens is about 4 km south-east of Sandton City. In Corlett Gardens, properties range from older freestanding houses on large stands to modern sectional title complexes, often built on subdivided plots. This creates a patchwork of boundary types, where an established garden wall might meet a newer complex fence. This variety means there isn't one standard approach; a system has to suit the specific property's perimeter.
Our approach adapts to the boundary. For a freestanding house, we plan camera positions to cover the gate and the full length of older walls, especially where they join neighbouring properties. For a body corporate, we design a system that provides consistent coverage along the entire shared perimeter, from the main gate on roads like Kernick Road to the back fences bordering other complexes.
For trustees and managing agents in Corlett Gardens' many complexes, the most important step is managing who can access the footage. Perimeter camera footage belongs to the body corporate, not individual residents. We set up separate, named logins for guards or trustees, which can be revoked when someone leaves. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities that may guide future rules on how long footage is kept.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Corlett Gardens
My property line is shared with a complex. Where should my cameras point?
Your cameras should focus on your own property, like your driveway, entrances, and the area immediately inside your boundary wall. We angle them to avoid looking directly into neighbouring units or shared complex areas.
Our complex has an old camera system. Can we reuse the old wiring to upgrade it?
Often, yes. If the existing analogue camera cables are in good condition, we can frequently reuse them to connect new high-definition cameras and a modern recorder. Tyson checks the cabling during his assessment.
