Linksfield north: cameras for high walls and modern estate perimeters
Linksfield North is about 8 km south-east of Sandton City. In Linksfield North, properties range from large, freestanding homes with high boundary walls on roads like Club Street, to modern cluster developments and estates such as The Neighbourhood Estate. For older homes, the challenge is often covering long perimeters obscured by established gardens and trees. In the newer complexes and estates, the focus shifts to shared boundaries, access gates, and the rules governing surveillance in a community scheme.
Our approach adapts to the property type. On a large stand, we plan camera positions to look along the full length of the high walls, avoiding blind spots from foliage. For complexes and estates like Royal View, we work with body corporates to monitor shared perimeters and entrances. In many established Linksfield North homes, we can upgrade older analogue systems to high definition by reusing the existing, sound cabling, which saves on installation disruption.
For trustees in Linksfield North's complexes and estates, managing who can view footage is important. Access to perimeter and gate cameras belongs to the body corporate, and we set up individual logins that can be revoked when needed. It is important to have clear rules on how long footage is kept; the Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities on this, though it is not yet law. For new homeowners, we recommend changing all camera system passwords immediately after taking ownership.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Linksfield North
Our house is in The Neighbourhood Estate. Is the camera system different from a house on Club Street?
Yes. For a freestanding house, the system focuses entirely on your own boundary walls and gates. Inside an estate, we focus on your home's direct entry points like doors and patios, while the body corporate is usually responsible for the main perimeter and gate cameras.
We have very high walls and large trees. Can cameras see over them?
Seeing over high walls is often less effective than seeing along them. We position cameras to cover the length of your boundary from your side, and we plan placements to work around established trees, making sure they don't create blind spots.
