Security upgrade guide for landlords and property managers in Parklands, Nairobi

Phase 1: the entrance

An automatic gate and a video intercom give the biggest security improvement for the money. Tenants can see visitors, and the caretaker is not the single point of failure.

Phase 2: visibility

Cameras on the gate, parking and stairwell entrances, on a recorder in a locked cabinet. Footage is kept for a set number of days and shared with the police only when needed.

Phase 3: the perimeter and the fire basics

An electric fence on the wall and a basic fire alarm for common areas. These are often required by insurers and lenders, so ask them what they expect.

Keeping tenants on side

Tell tenants what is being installed and why. Use cards or fobs so access can be changed when tenants move. Put a maintenance contract in place so faults are fixed quickly.

Questions we are asked in Parklands

What should I install first with a small budget?

The gate and intercom, because they control who enters. Cameras come next.

Can I recover the cost from tenants?

That depends on your lease. Many landlords build security into rent or service charge. We provide a clear itemised quote to support that.

Do I need approval from the county?

Generally not for CCTV or intercom. Electric fences and fire alarms have safety requirements, which we design to.

How do I avoid paying twice?

Plan all phases at the start so cabling and power are laid once. We design the full system and install it in stages.

Who looks after it afterwards?

A maintenance contract with us covers routine checks and call-outs for the equipment we installed.
