Dunsevern: cameras for large stands, old walls and shared perimeters
In Dunsevern, properties present two distinct challenges. Freestanding homes often sit on large stands with long, older brick boundaries, like those along George Avenue. These properties have established gardens where mature trees can block camera views or cause constant motion alerts. By contrast, townhouse schemes such as Royal View have different needs, focusing on shared perimeters and access points where the body corporate is responsible for security.
For homes with large gardens, we position cameras to look along the walls rather than just over them, and carefully define motion detection areas to exclude trees. For complexes, we work with trustees to make sure perimeter cameras cover the fence line and entrances without looking into residents' private spaces. In an established suburb like Dunsevern, we can often upgrade older systems by replacing the cameras and recorder while reusing the original, sound cabling.
The footage from cameras covering the perimeter and common areas of a complex belongs to the body corporate. Trustees need to set clear rules about who can view or export recordings, typically the managing agent or designated trustees. It is also their responsibility to post signs informing people about the cameras. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities that would limit how long footage can be kept, but this is not yet law.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Dunsevern
My cameras keep sending alerts every time the wind blows. Can you fix that?
Yes. We can adjust the camera's motion detection settings to ignore specific areas, like trees that move in the wind. We can also fine-tune the sensitivity so it only alerts you for more significant movement.
We're upgrading our complex's cameras. Do we need to replace all the old wiring?
Not always. If the existing analogue camera cables are in good condition, we can often reuse them for new high-definition cameras. Tyson will check the cabling during his site assessment.
