Hurlingham manor: cameras for properties within a secure enclave
As a boomed-off enclave, Hurlingham Manor's security challenges often lie at the boundary of each property. Older homes on large stands, some bordering the Braamfontein Spruit, have mature trees that can create blind spots along established fence lines. Newer complexes, like Willow View, might have shared perimeter walls where the original security installations have not been maintained, creating different kinds of vulnerabilities than those at the street-level access booms.
Our approach here is to work with each property's specific layout. For homes with established gardens, we position cameras to look along the boundary line, avoiding views obstructed by foliage. In complexes, we assess the entire shared perimeter, not just the main gate, to cover potential weak points. For any property with an older system, we can often reuse the existing cables to upgrade cameras and recorders to modern high definition systems for a far clearer view.
For the many properties within complexes or estates in Hurlingham Manor, footage from any camera covering common areas belongs to the body corporate. This means trustees must manage who can view or export recordings from gates and perimeters. The Information Regulator has a proposed code of conduct for gated communities to guide this. We help by setting up individual, password-protected user accounts for authorised people, which can be removed when a trustee or managing agent changes.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Hurlingham Manor
Our garden has large, established trees. Can cameras still be effective?
Yes. We plan camera positions to look along the boundary wall or fence line, rather than through the trees. This provides a clear view of the perimeter itself, using the landscape to our advantage.
We just bought a house in Hurlingham Manor that has cameras. What should we do?
The first step is to change all the passwords for the system. The previous owner may still have access on their phone. We can do a full assessment, reset the administrator access for you, and make sure the system is working correctly.
Tell us what you have in Hurlingham Manor now and what is going wrong, and we will tell you plainly whether it needs a repair, an upgrade or a new CCTV camera system, then put the quote in writing.
