Johannesburg notes on access & perimeter

Flat blocks in Hillbrow, Berea and Yeoville depend on working intercoms and tags that can be switched off when a tenant leaves. Houses in Greenside and Emmarentia are usually fitted with gate motors, wall-top electric fencing and burglar bars. Insist on a battery that carries the gate through a power cut, a manual release you can reach, and a lightning arrestor on the energiser, since Highveld storms are severe.

Properties and sites in Johannesburg

Johannesburg security work ranges from high-walled houses in Parkview, Melville and Linden to gated complexes in Bryanston and Fourways, and from offices around Braamfontein and Rosebank to flat blocks in Berea and Sunnyside. Older suburbs mostly ask for wall-top electric fencing, outdoor beams and armed response. Body corporates want access control, intercoms and CCTV they can afford to maintain. Warehouses and workshops around City Deep, Selby and Wynberg need guarding and perimeter detection. Summer thunderstorms on the Highveld are fierce, so gate motors, energisers and alarm panels should be fitted with surge protection, and load shedding makes battery backup a real requirement.
