Norscot: cameras for large properties bordering parks and greenbelts
Norscot is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. In Norscot, many freestanding houses sit on large stands, with long perimeters that can back onto public spaces like Norscot Koppies or Kingfisher Park. This creates extended, quiet boundary lines far from the main house, offering unobserved entry points. On properties near the Klein Jukskei stream, movement from wildlife or people in the greenbelt can also be a factor for a poorly placed camera system.
Our approach is to use camera placement to cover these long boundaries effectively. Instead of placing cameras to look straight over the wall, we position them to look along its length, covering a whole section with one view. For a property on a road like Douglas Drive or Willow Avenue, we focus on the gate and pedestrian access points first, then secure the perimeter views.
For anyone who has recently bought a property in Norscot, the first step is to take control of any existing camera system. The previous owners may still have access on their phones. We strongly recommend changing all passwords immediately. Tyson can visit the property to reset the recorder's administrator access and make sure only your family can view the cameras.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Norscot
My garden backs onto Norscot Slopes Park. Will the cameras be triggered all the time?
No. We set up the motion detection zones to ignore activity outside your property line. This means people or animals in the park will not create constant alerts or recordings.
The house we bought in Norscot has old cameras. Do we need a whole new system?
Not always. If the cabling is still in good condition, we can often upgrade just the cameras and recorder to a modern high-definition system. Tyson will assess what can be reused when he quotes.
Tell us what you have in Norscot 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.
