What to know locally in Secunda
Flat, open ground makes Secunda a lightning magnet, so camera poles, recorders and alarm panels need earthing and surge protection or they fail season after season. Contractors with laydown yards often prefer thermal or low-light cameras on tall masts, linked to a monitoring station that can speak to intruders. Homeowners in the face-brick suburbs get good value from a monitored alarm with outdoor beams along the boundary wall.
