Magaliessig: cameras for sectional title perimeters and shared access
Magaliessig is about 9 km north-west of Sandton City. In Magaliessig, security is often a shared responsibility across apartments, townhouses and cluster homes. A typical property has a long perimeter wall, sometimes running along busy roads like Witkoppen Road or Leslie Avenue, which is managed by a body corporate rather than a single owner. The main challenge is monitoring these extensive shared boundaries and the busy, communal entrance points used by many residents and visitors.
For these Magaliessig complexes, we plan systems around the entire perimeter, not just individual units. We identify the right positions to cover long stretches of wall and place specific cameras at gates to monitor vehicles and pedestrians where they slow down. On older properties, we assess existing wiring to see if it can be reused for new HD cameras, helping the body corporate manage the cost of an upgrade.
For trustees managing a Magaliessig complex, controlling who sees the footage is important. All perimeter and gate footage belongs to the body corporate, not individual owners. We help establish clear rules, setting up individual, password-protected access for guards, managing agents or specific trustees. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities which may in future affect how long footage can be kept.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Magaliessig
Who should have access to our complex's camera system?
Access should be limited to those who need it for their role, like guards for live viewing and specific trustees or a managing agent for reviewing incidents. We provide separate logins for each person, so access can be removed if they leave or their role changes.
I've just bought a townhouse in Magaliessig with cameras. What should I do?
The first step is to change all the passwords for the camera system. The previous owner might still have remote viewing access on their phone. We can help you secure the system by resetting the administrator password and making sure only you have access.
