East London notes on cctv & alarms
Humid air and sea fog make condensation a real risk inside cheap camera domes, so ask for sealed units with desiccant packs. Shop owners on Oxford Street often run a few cameras to a recorder with an off-site control room watching after hours. Alarm panels in coastal homes at Bonnie Doon should be placed in dry cupboards and checked for corrosion at each service.
Properties and sites in East London
East London stretches along the Buffalo River mouth and the Indian Ocean, so humid sea air and salt are part of every equipment choice. Beacon Bay, Nahoon, Vincent and Gonubie have walled houses and security complexes, with alarms and armed response the usual starting point, while the Quigney and Oxford Street areas have older flats and offices that use guards and CCTV. Industry around the harbour, Wilsonia and the East London Industrial Development Zone needs perimeter fencing and guarding. Mdantsane and the villages toward Bhisho and Qonce use gate motors, bars and community patrols. Security firms work from East London, with some covering King William's Town side.

- Homeowners and families: four to eight cameras on the gate, driveway and sides, with phone viewing set up
