A camera is the easy part to sell. The useful question is what you can still see at 02:00, and whether the recorder is on when Eskom is not. AVX Solutions designs and installs CCTV from the Brooklyn office in Nieuw Muckleneuk and the Sandton office in Sandown.
We do not publish a brand list on this page. The right camera for a driveway is often the wrong camera for a till. Putting a model number in a brochure before we have stood on the site is how people buy pixels they cannot use.
The gate, the front door, the parking and the side of the house the neighbours cannot see. Coverage follows the risk, not a package of eight identical cameras.

Where the recorder lives, who can log in, and how long footage is kept.

The recorder, the switch and the gate camera need a plan. A camera on a plug in the lounge does not.
It is also how badly secured recorders end up on the internet. We would rather set up an account properly than forward a port because it was quicker on install day.
So is a body corporate that wants the boom, the clubhouse and the perimeter, with trustees who change every year. Access to the footage has to survive a committee handover. Shared logins on a scrap of paper do not.
We need to walk the property. A WhatsApp photo of the gate is a start, not a quote.
Yes. Brooklyn office on 012 346 0525, Sandton office on 010 011 2372. Say which site is closer.
Yes, once the recorder and the account are set up. We do not leave the recorder open to the whole internet to make the phone app easy.
Only the parts that are on backup power. We will tell you which those are. A camera without power is a plastic box.
Often, after we see the recorder and the cabling. Some inherited systems are fine. Some need the recorder replaced before any new camera is worth buying.
