What a Parklands apartment block usually needs
The gate and the entrance come first. An automatic gate with a video intercom means tenants see who is at the gate before it opens, and the caretaker is no longer the only control point.
Next is camera coverage of the gate, the parking and the stairwell entrances, recorded on a recorder in a locked cabinet so footage cannot be switched off from the corridor.
Finally the perimeter: if the block has a boundary wall, an electric fence on top of it deters climbing, and a lighting upgrade over the parking makes the camera footage usable at night.
How we plan it for a block, not a house
We count households, entrances and parking bays on the survey, then draw the camera and intercom positions on the plan before quoting. The quote lists every model number, so the landlord or the residents' committee can compare it line by line.
Where tenants change often, we set up access with cards or fobs that can be disabled one by one, instead of a shared code everyone knows.
Installation is phased if the budget needs it: gate and intercom first, cameras second, fence last, without throwing away what was installed earlier.
Common mistakes we fix on Parklands blocks
Cameras that look at the sky or at glare from the gate light, because nobody checked the angle at night.
A recorder left in the caretaker's office with the password on a sticker.
An intercom that rings one flat only, so visitors for the others are let in by whoever answers.
Cables run along the outside of the wall where they are cut within a month.
