Norwood: cameras for historic homes and Grant Avenue businesses
Norwood is about 6 km south of Sandton City. In Norwood, a property's security is often shaped by its proximity to the busy commercial strip along Grant Avenue or public spaces like Paterson Park. Homes on residential streets such as Ivy Road or Osborn Road can have vulnerabilities created by the mix of public foot traffic and quiet, tree-lined garden settings. The established nature of these older homes means side passages and back gardens can offer concealed access points not visible from the street.
Our camera layouts account for this mix. For a business on Grant Avenue, we focus on clear views of entrances and pavements, positioned to manage changing light and reflections. For homes, we place cameras to cover garden perimeters and hidden side areas, working around the mature trees common throughout the suburb. In many of Norwood's older buildings, we can often upgrade the cameras and recorder to a modern system while reusing the existing, sound cabling.
For businesses, being able to find and export footage of an incident is important. We make sure the system is set up to make this process straightforward for the owner or manager. For residents who have just bought a property, the first step is to change all camera system passwords. Tyson can reset the system to make sure the previous owners no longer have access on their phones.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Norwood
My shop front camera on Grant Avenue is blinded by streetlights and car headlights at night. Can this be fixed?
Yes. This is usually solved by changing the camera's position so it is not aimed directly at the light source, and by using a camera with good low-light performance. We set them up to handle these specific conditions.
My older Norwood house has an old camera system. Do you have to run new cables everywhere to upgrade it?
Not always. If the existing analogue camera cables are in good condition, we can often reuse them to connect new high-definition cameras and a new recorder. This saves on the cost and disruption of running new wires through an established home.
