Silvamonte: cameras for private homes and complex perimeters
In Silvamonte, a freestanding home on a street like Daleview Road has its own walls and gate to watch. Next door, an apartment complex has a shared entrance, a long perimeter wall, and multiple units. This mix means security needs vary from one property to the next. The suburb's proximity to major roads like Pretoria Road and Johannesburg Road also means we consider the flow of traffic along its edges when planning camera placement.
For a freestanding house, our camera plan will focus on the driveway, gate, and immediate boundary walls. For one of Silvamonte's apartment complexes, the priorities are different. We concentrate on securing the shared entrance, any pedestrian gates, and the full length of the perimeter. We design these complex systems to monitor common property effectively while respecting the privacy of individual units.
In a complex, all footage from gate and perimeter cameras belongs to the body corporate, not individual residents. We help trustees establish clear rules for who can view or export footage. The Information Regulator has proposed a code for gated communities that would guide how long this data can be kept. We make sure access is password-controlled and limited to authorised people, like the managing agent or specific trustees.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our CCTV cameras page.
Questions from Silvamonte
My house is on a corner stand in Silvamonte. Where do the cameras need to look?
For a corner property, we focus on the main vehicle gate and any pedestrian gates. We also place cameras to cover the verge along both street-facing boundaries. The goal is to monitor your perimeter without intruding on your neighbours' privacy, which Tyson confirms during the on-site assessment.
My apartment balcony overlooks the complex entrance. Will the security cameras look into my home?
No. When we install cameras for a Silvamonte body corporate, they are positioned to monitor common property only, such as gates, driveways, and perimeter walls. We carefully angle cameras to avoid viewing private areas like apartment windows or balconies.
