ESTATE SECURITY
INTRODUCTION
Estate living has become a national trend in South Africa for those seeking a secure lifestyle and working environment. Unfortunately there has been an escalation of intrusions into these estates and research indicates that they are considered soft targets by criminals.
Home owners and investors in so-called security estates are becoming disillusioned as a result of the ongoing intrusions into these estates and homes which is causing property values to drop.
Security surveys have shown that traditional security methods are no longer effective against the level of crime currently being experienced, as criminals have worked out ways and means of breaching these systems. Corruption and intimidation of security services is evident. Crime syndicates have become professional organisations, highly skilled and lethal. The sophistication of experienced criminals, who carry out their own reconnaissance to find new ways of breaching security systems, is underestimated. The estates security system will only be as strong as its weakest link. Residents, believing they are safe, often become complacent making them even more vulnerable. These intrusions can lead to more serious crimes like housebreaking, rape, assault and murder. PLANNING SECURITY FOR ESTATES
Our solution lies in our holistic planning methodology, from strategy to implementation. This is depicted in our standard Scope of Work. All the disciplines of security are incorporated to achieve the most cost effective security system: Incorporating hardware (fences, gates, walls, landscaping), technology (Perimeter Security, CCTV , alarms, intercom, lighting), manpower (guards, armed response etc). "Perimeter Security" is an area where major financial savings can be made through ISC's advice Large sums of money is wasted on inappropriate fences and walls.
Our personal supervision of each step of the project from strategy to completion allows developers and project managers to attend to their primary functions without the burden of managing an unfamiliar specialist area. We ensure that installations comply with performance specifications and that the work is carried out in the most efficient and economical manner.
