Raedene: cameras for freehold homes with established trees and walls
In Raedene Estate, the main challenge for a camera system is the established character of the properties. Large trees on streets like Hathorn Avenue or in private gardens can obscure views from the boundary wall back to the house. Over time, branches grow to block sightlines, or their moving shadows trigger constant motion alerts. The older boundary walls common in the suburb also require careful assessment for mounting cameras securely without causing damage.
Our approach in Raedene is to plan camera positions with the garden's future growth in mind, finding angles that are less likely to be blocked. We carefully define motion detection zones to exclude rustling trees, making sure you are alerted to genuine movement. When upgrading older systems, which we often find here, we can frequently reuse existing, sound cabling to connect new high-definition cameras, minimising disruption to established gardens and paving.
For a Raedene homeowner, the most practical part of the system is viewing it on your phone. We make sure this is set up and working for you before we leave, connecting your cameras to your home's internet. If you have recently bought a property in the area that came with cameras, it is important to change the passwords. The previous owner may still have access, and we can help reset the system to make sure only you can view your footage.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Raedene
My big trees trigger my camera's motion alerts all day. Can this be fixed?
Yes. We can adjust the camera's settings to create specific motion detection zones, telling it to ignore the areas where branches move. Sometimes, slightly re-aiming the camera makes all the difference.
My current cameras are old and the picture is blurry. Do you have to replace all the wiring?
Not always. If the existing cabling is in good condition, we can often reuse it to connect new high-definition cameras and a modern recorder. This saves on cost and avoids disruption to your walls and garden.
Every Raedene property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your CCTV camera work.
