Fairway: cameras for large homes with established boundary walls and trees
In Fairway, properties are typically large, individual stands with long, established boundary walls. This means a security system needs to cover significant distances, often contending with mature trees that can obscure views or trigger motion alerts with wind and changing light. The main entry point for each home is a single gate, which becomes a important point to monitor, but the sheer length of the perimeter wall offers many other potential points of entry.
Our approach for a Fairway property involves careful camera placement to work with the established landscape, not against it. We position cameras to look along boundary walls, creating overlapping fields of view between the trees. For gate monitoring, we place cameras to avoid being blinded by headlights at night. We also define specific motion detection zones to ignore swaying branches, making sure you are alerted to genuine movement on your property.
Since homes in Fairway are bought and sold individually, new owners need to take control of any existing security system. If you've recently purchased a property with cameras, it is important to change all access passwords immediately. The previous owners could still have viewing access on their phones. Tyson can assess the inherited system, reset the administrator passwords for you, and make sure that only you and your family can view the footage.

Questions from Fairway
My garden has lots of big trees. Will they block the cameras?
Yes, they can. We plan camera positions during the site assessment with Tyson to look between or around trees where possible. We also set up motion detection to ignore the areas where branches move in the wind, focusing only on the ground and access points.
The house I bought has old cameras. Do I need to rewire the whole property?
Not always. If the existing cables are in good condition, we can often reuse them to connect new, high-definition cameras and a modern recorder. Tyson will check the cabling during his assessment and advise on the right upgrade path for your Fairway home.
If something on your CCTV camera setup in Fairway is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
