Properties and sites in Cape Town
Cape Town's security needs change sharply from one side of the mountain to the other. The Atlantic Seaboard and Southern Suburbs have walled homes, blocks of flats and holiday properties, often with alarms, beams, electric fencing and armed response. Century City, the CBD and Woodstock lean on access control and monitored CCTV. Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Airport Industria hold warehouses and yards that need guards and perimeter detection. Informal areas and the Cape Flats rely on community networks and shared patrols. Winter rain, the south-easter and salt spray corrode fittings, so stainless brackets and sealed housings are standard questions. Most installers and control rooms work metro-wide.
