Sandhurst: cameras for deep perimeters and integrated estate systems
Sandhurst is right on Sandton's doorstep. A camera system in Sandhurst needs to account for scale. The challenge is not just the house itself, but the long perimeter wall, often bordering busy roads like Sandton Drive or Winnie Mandela Drive. Mature, acre-large gardens provide extensive cover, meaning a breach at the wall might go unnoticed from the main residence until it is too late.
Because of these deep properties, we focus on a layered approach starting at the boundary. We plan camera positions to create clear detection zones within the garden, making sure views are not obscured by established trees. In Sandhurst's cluster complexes, we make sure a homeowner's system works in concert with the main estate security, integrating views from a private entrance with the guardhouse system.
For both large private homes and complexes, managing who can view footage is important. Access needs to be tightly controlled, whether for household staff or estate security. We create individual, named logins so access can be granted or revoked instantly. For body corporates, this controlled access is key to responsibly managing footage, a principle reflected in the Information Regulator's proposed code for gated communities.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Sandhurst
Our Sandhurst complex has a guardhouse. Who should have access to the camera system?
Access should be limited to those who need it, typically the on-duty guards and one or two trustees or a managing agent. We provide each person with their own login, so access is auditable and can be removed when someone's role changes.
My property borders a main road. How do you position cameras facing the street?
We angle cameras to focus on your immediate perimeter, like the wall and verge, not the public road itself. This respects privacy and creates a more effective security system by concentrating on detecting threats to your property specifically.
