Marlboro gardens: cameras for homes bordering industrial and commercial areas
In Marlboro Gardens, a property's boundary often separates a home from a business or light industrial unit. This means camera systems need to monitor different types of activity, from daytime deliveries next door to quiet residential streets at night. For homes and townhouse complexes near roads like Old Pretoria Main Road, the challenge is monitoring your own perimeter without being triggered by the constant movement from neighbouring commercial properties.
We plan camera layouts in Marlboro Gardens to focus strictly on your property line. This might involve using cameras with privacy masking to block out a busy neighbouring yard, or carefully angling views along a shared wall between a complex and a workshop. The goal is to record what is relevant to your security, whether at a freestanding home or a sectional title property, without creating constant alerts from next door's legitimate activity.
For the many complexes in Marlboro Gardens, the body corporate owns the footage from perimeter and gate cameras. Trustees therefore need to control who can view or export recordings. We set up separate, named logins for guards, managing agents, or specific trustees, and can remove access when someone's role changes. It is also important that signs are in place to show that cameras are in use, as the Information Regulator has proposed a code of conduct for gated communities.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Marlboro Gardens
How do we stop our cameras being triggered by the trucks at the business next door?
We can define specific motion detection zones in the camera's view. This means it only records movement inside your property line and ignores the public road or the neighbour's yard. We set this up for you during installation.
Our complex has old cameras. Can we upgrade without replacing all the wires?
Yes, in many cases we can. If the existing coaxial cabling is in good condition, we can often reuse it to connect new high-definition analogue cameras and a new recorder, which saves on installation costs and disruption.
