Parkmore: cameras for homes and complexes bordering public green spaces
Parkmore is about 2 km north-west of Sandton City. In Parkmore, security often focuses on long perimeters, whether for a freestanding home or a sectional title complex. Many properties have boundaries directly on public areas like George Lea Park or the Braamfontein Spruit. This means monitoring a fence or wall that is accessible from a public space, often obscured by mature trees which can provide cover for an intruder.
Our approach in Parkmore is to place cameras to cover these long, vulnerable boundaries, not just the driveway. We position them to minimise blind spots created by the established trees common along the spruit. For sectional title complexes closer to Benmore Centre, we work with trustees on shared perimeters and access points, while for private homes the focus is on their specific wall or fence line.
For the sectional title complexes common in Parkmore, footage of shared areas belongs to the body corporate. Trustees need clear rules on who can view or export recordings and for how long they are kept; the Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities to guide this. We help establish separate, trackable logins for managing agents or security, making sure access can be revoked when needed.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Parkmore
My garden borders the Braamfontein Spruit. Will people walking past trigger motion alerts all day?
No. We can define specific motion detection zones within the camera's view. This means we can set it to trigger an alert if someone is at your wall, but ignore movement further away in the public park or on the path.
Our complex needs to upgrade its cameras. Can we reuse the old wiring?
In many cases, yes. If the existing analogue camera cables are in good condition, we can often use them to connect new high-definition cameras. This can save on the cost and disruption of running new cables through the complex.
If something on your CCTV camera setup in Parkmore is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
