Older homes, flats and shared entrances

Morningside sits on the Berea ridge above the city, and much of its housing is older: freestanding homes on compact plots, semi-detached houses and blocks of flats. Many buildings have shared entrances, shared parking and a single gate for several units. That makes intercoms, access control and cameras on shared areas as common as cameras on a single house.

Older homes here often carry an analogue system that has been repaired several times. When it fails again, an installer may recommend upgrading the recorder and some cameras rather than repairing the same parts once more.

Repairs in Morningside

If your cameras have stopped recording, show a black screen or no longer appear on your phone, see CCTV repair in Morningside. Describe the fault, the age of the system and the recorder brand if you know it.

Flats and sectional-title buildings

In a block of flats the common property belongs to the body corporate. Cameras on the entrance, parking or passages are a decision for the trustees, not one owner. A single owner can usually add a camera to their own door or balcony within the rules. For shared entrances, intercoms and gate control, see access control and intercoms.

Shops and restaurants

Businesses along the Florida Road strip and nearby need cameras over tills, entrances, stock rooms and parking. Staff and customers are filmed, so a business should get advice on its privacy obligations. See business CCTV installation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I install a camera in my flat's corridor?

Only with the body corporate's agreement, because the corridor is common property. Your own door or balcony may be allowed within the rules.

Do you cover the rest of the Berea?

Yes. Send your suburb, for example Musgrave, Glenwood or Essenwood, and we will check whether an installer covers it.

My old system keeps failing. What should I do?

Ask an installer to test the whole system and tell you whether a repair or an upgrade is better value, with reasons.
