Fairmount: cameras for large stands and established gardens
Fairmount is about 6 km south-east of Sandton City. In Fairmount, the main challenge is the size and layout of the properties. Spacious, established gardens with large trees provide excellent cover along the perimeter. A long boundary wall, for instance along Hathorn Avenue or Durham Street, can be difficult to monitor effectively from the house. This means that activity at the edge of the stand can go unnoticed, especially in a quiet, tree-lined suburb.
Our approach is to place cameras that view along the length of these boundary walls, rather than just pointing them out from the house. This creates overlapping fields of view that cover the full perimeter. We also carefully configure motion detection zones to exclude rustling trees and moving shadows, making sure you are only alerted to genuine movement in sensitive areas of your garden.
Because Fairmount is an established area, many people buy homes with existing security systems. If you have just bought a property with cameras, the most important first step is to change all the passwords. The previous owners may still have access on their phones. Tyson can assess the system you have inherited, reset the administrator access, and make sure only you can view your cameras.

Questions from Fairmount
How many cameras do I need to cover my long boundary wall?
It's more about placement than numbers. We position cameras to look along the length of the wall, not just across the garden at it. This often means fewer cameras can cover the perimeter more effectively.
The house I bought in Fairmount has old cameras. Can they be upgraded?
Yes. In many cases, we can reuse the existing cabling to install a modern HD system. Tyson will assess the old system and cabling during his site visit and explain the right upgrade options.
Every Fairmount property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your CCTV camera work.
