Craigavon: cameras for modern complexes and shared perimeters
Craigavon is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. In Craigavon, most properties are modern units inside cluster complexes and security estates. The main challenge here isn't a single street-facing gate but the long, shared perimeter walls common to complexes off roads like Cedar Avenue and Willow Avenue. A single camera placed on a corner can leave long blind spots along these high, uniform walls, while views from individual units may be restricted by the layout of the complex itself.
We work with trustees and managing agents to plan camera placement along these shared perimeters in Craigavon. Instead of one wide-angle camera creating a distant view, we position several to create overlapping coverage, making sure there are no hidden approaches. For individual homes within these estates, we focus cameras on the unit's own entrance and patio areas, avoiding views into neighbouring properties or shared driveways.
For trustees in Craigavon, the important issue is managing who can access the perimeter camera footage, as it belongs to the body corporate. We set up separate, named logins for authorised people, like guards or specific trustees, which can be revoked. It is important to have clear rules on viewing and exporting footage, and to post signs. The Information Regulator has also proposed a code for gated communities that would guide how long footage can be kept.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Craigavon
Our complex in Craigavon has an old camera system. Do we need to rewire the whole property to upgrade it?
Not always. Many older systems used good quality cabling. We can often reuse the existing cables to connect new high-definition cameras and a modern recorder. Tyson checks the cabling quality during his site assessment.
If there's an incident at my unit, can I get the footage from the complex's perimeter cameras?
The footage belongs to the body corporate. You will need to follow their procedure, which usually means requesting it through the trustees or managing agent. They are responsible for exporting it for official use.
