Craighall: cameras for homes bordering parks and greenbelts
Craighall is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. In Craighall, many of the larger freestanding homes have boundaries that meet public green spaces like Delta Park or the Braamfontein Spruit. This creates a different security challenge from a simple suburban street. A long perimeter backing onto a park needs a different approach to a front wall on a quiet road. The focus shifts to securing a lengthy and sometimes secluded boundary.
Our approach is to place cameras that view along the fence line from inside your property. This covers the entire perimeter without intruding on the public's privacy in the park. For homes closer to main routes like Jan Smuts Avenue or Conrad Drive, we angle cameras to minimise glare from passing traffic at night. We often find older analogue systems in Craighall homes and can usually upgrade the cameras and recorder to high definition by reusing the existing cables.
When you buy a home in Craighall, it may come with a camera system already installed. It is important to change the passwords, as the previous owners could still have access on their phones. As part of our assessment, Tyson can check the existing system, reset the administrator passwords, and make sure that only you and your family can view the footage. This gives you full control from day one.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Craighall
How do we watch our boundary next to Delta Park without recording people in the park?
We position cameras to look along your fence line from inside your property, not out into the park. This focuses the view on your direct perimeter. We can also set up privacy masks to block out specific areas from the camera's view and recording.
Our Craighall home is old. Do you need to run all new cables for a modern camera system?
Not always. If you have an older analogue system, the existing coaxial cables are often in good condition. We can test them and frequently reuse them for new HD cameras, which saves on installation time and cost.
