Pine slopes: cameras for high-density complexes and office parks
Pine Slopes is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. In Pine Slopes, security systems protect high-density complexes and office parks, often bordered by busy roads like Witkoppen Road and Sunrise Boulevard. A typical property is one of many units sharing long perimeter walls, a main entrance, and internal roads. Vulnerabilities often lie along these shared boundaries or at communal access points, where it can be difficult to distinguish residents from visitors.
Our approach in Pine Slopes is to separate the body corporate's system from the individual owner's. For complexes, we focus on clear views of vehicle and pedestrian gates, and along the shared perimeter walls. We often upgrade older, existing systems by reusing sound cabling. For individual apartments or cluster homes, we position cameras to cover the front door and private patio area, making sure they don't overlook a neighbour's property or common areas.
For trustees and managing agents in Pine Slopes, the most important aspect is managing who has access to the footage. All perimeter and gate footage belongs to the body corporate. We help establish clear rules for viewing and exporting video, providing separate logins for authorised individuals. It is important to note that the Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities that would guide how long footage can be kept, though this is not yet law.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Pine Slopes
Our complex's cameras are old and blurry. Do we need to rewire the whole property to upgrade?
Not always. Many Pine Slopes complexes have existing analogue cabling that is still in good condition. We can often reuse this wiring to connect new high-definition cameras and a modern recorder, which saves significant cost and disruption.
Can our complex cameras see into my garden or windows?
No. Body corporate cameras are positioned to cover common areas like entrances, driveways, and perimeter walls. They are not aimed at private property. We make sure the placement respects resident privacy while securing the shared spaces.
