Fellside: cameras for individual homes and village access points
In Fellside, the controlled access points provide a first line of security, but each freestanding home still has its own perimeter to watch. An intruder may already be inside the suburb's enclosure. The focus then shifts to the individual property's walls and gates, often on quiet streets like Grace Road or Goodman Terrace, where established trees can create blind spots.
Our approach is to design a system for your specific property that complements the village security. We place cameras to monitor your gate and driveway, and to look along boundary walls, taking care to position them where mature garden trees won't block the view. For many of Fellside's older homes, we can often upgrade existing analogue cameras to high definition by reusing the original cabling.
For the village's shared cameras, like those at the main access points on roads such as Houghton Drive, the footage belongs to the residents' association. It is important to control who can view or export recordings. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities that guides how long this footage should be kept. We make sure access is restricted to authorised individuals with their own logins, protecting residents' privacy.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Fellside
Do I still need my own cameras if Fellside is a security village?
Yes. The village cameras monitor who enters and leaves the suburb, while your own cameras are for your specific property: your gate, your doors, and your yard. We plan your system to cover what happens inside the village perimeter.
Who can view the footage from our main entrance cameras?
This is decided by the residents' association. We set up access for authorised people only, such as the guardhouse and specific committee members, each with their own login. This ensures access can be removed if someone's role changes.
If something on your CCTV camera setup in Fellside 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.
