Cameras on the Atlantic Seaboard face conditions most inland systems never see. Salt mist fogs and corrodes housings in Mouille Point and Clifton, low sun off the sea turns faces into silhouettes in Camps Bay and Bantry Bay, and apartment blocks in Sea Point need shared systems that trustees can manage. Holiday-let owners want to check on their property from anywhere.
We plan for all of that. See our main CCTV installation service.
We choose sealed, corrosion-resistant housings, cameras with strong wide dynamic range for sea glare, and positions that capture faces and number plates rather than just the view.
Hikvision or Dahua IP cameras with sealed housings, smart detection and phone viewing.
Fogged lenses, corroded connectors, offline cameras and recorders not saving footage.
Shared systems for body corporates and remote-access setups for holiday lets.

Salt, glare and privacy questions come up most.

Corroded connectors or water ingress. We replace and reseal. See our camera image guide.
Coastal-ready installs, done neatly.
Reliable brands, installed properly.
Sealed housings and corrosion-resistant fittings.
What coastal homeowners and trustees ask most.
You can cover your own entrance and boundary, but cameras capturing public spaces or neighbours raise privacy questions under the Protection of Personal Information Act. We angle cameras to focus on your property and can use privacy masking to block out areas you shouldn’t record.
Wipe the lens covers gently with fresh water and a soft cloth every few weeks, and check seals during a yearly service. Hooded housings help keep salt and rain off the glass. If a camera keeps fogging inside, the seal has failed and the housing should be resealed or replaced.
Yes. We install shared systems covering entrances, parking and common areas, with viewing access set up for trustees or a building manager. We provide a written quote and scope the body corporate can approve, and we can link cameras to your access control or intercom.
Yes. Hikvision and Dahua apps work anywhere with internet access. We set up the app, test remote viewing and make sure the recorder keeps footage for long enough between visits. A stable internet connection at the property is essential, and we’ll check that too.
