Northern Suburbs properties tend to be bigger and more spread out. Family homes in Durbanville and Welgemoed have long boundaries, estates need cameras on shared entrances, and warehouses and yards in Kuils River, Brackenfell and Bellville South need coverage across loading bays and parking. Summer heat also cooks cameras mounted in full sun.
We plan coverage for the real size of the site. See our main CCTV installation service.
We map what needs to be seen, choose lens types for distance and detail, plan cable runs with PoE switches for far cameras and pick shaded mounting points where possible.
Hikvision or Dahua IP cameras with smart detection and phone viewing for homes and estate entrances.
Coverage for yards, loading bays and parking, with long-range cameras and recorders sized for many channels.
Offline cameras, recording failures and old analogue systems repaired or upgraded to IP.

Wide-angle cameras often can’t. The right lens at the right spot can. Contact us for an assessment.

Distance, heat and old systems cause most issues.
We add cameras with narrower lenses at choke points like gates and doors.
Direct sun overheats housings. We relocate or shade cameras and replace failed units.
We upgrade to IP cameras, often reusing existing cable routes. See our camera image guide.
Coverage planned for real distances.
Reliable systems for homes and businesses.
Multi-user access and large recorders.
What homeowners and businesses ask us most.
It depends on the lens and resolution. A wide-angle camera covers a big area but won’t identify a face far away, while a narrower lens sees less but in far more detail. For yards and long driveways, we combine both: wide cameras for overview and focused cameras on gates and doors.
Yes. Upgrading to IP cameras gives much clearer footage and smarter alerts. In many cases we can reuse existing cable routes, which saves time and cost. We inspect the current system on site and explain whether a full or partial upgrade makes more sense for your budget.
A typical home system is usually done in a day. Larger properties and business sites with long cable runs take longer. After the site visit we give you a written quote with the scope and a realistic timeframe, so you can plan around it.
Yes. Cameras can be set to record or send alerts when an alarm zone triggers, which makes it easier to see what set it off. Depending on your alarm panel and camera system, we can also link to your armed response company’s monitoring.
