Highlands north: cameras for established homes on manageable stands
Highlands North is about 5 km south-east of Sandton City. In Highlands North, a property's security depends on covering its boundary walls. These are often older, mixed-material fences along roads like Scott Street and Hathorn Avenue, fronting manageable-sized stands. The main challenge comes from the suburb's established gardens; large, mature trees can create significant blind spots and trigger constant motion alerts in the wind.
Because of this, we plan camera placement to work with the landscape. Instead of pointing cameras across a garden and through trees, we position them to look along the boundary walls. This provides an unobstructed view of the perimeter and reduces false alarms. For homes near public spaces like Cheltondale Park, this approach also helps focus views on your property line.
Many of our clients in Highlands North have recently bought their properties. If your new home comes with cameras, the first step is to change all the passwords, as the previous owner may still have viewing access on their phone. Tyson can do a full system check, reset the main administrator login, and make sure only your family can see the footage.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Highlands North
My garden has large trees. Will they block the camera views?
Not with careful placement. We position cameras to view along the line of your walls, which keeps most branches out of the direct view. We can also set up the recorder to ignore motion from trees.
The house I bought has an old, fuzzy camera system. Does it need complete rewiring?
Not always. If the existing analogue camera cables are in good condition, we can usually reuse them for a modern high-definition system. This connects new, clear cameras to a new recorder without the disruption of running new wires.
