Apartment & Strata Security

Security Systems for Adelaide Apartments and Strata Buildings

Intercom systems, common area CCTV, and access control designed for multi-dwelling buildings, strata complexes, and apartment developments across Adelaide.

Security challenges in multi-dwelling buildings

Apartments and strata complexes have shared spaces, multiple entry points, and diverse residents, all of which create security challenges that single-dwelling solutions cannot address.

Tailgating & Piggybacking

Unauthorised individuals follow residents through secure doors. Without proper access control and CCTV, there is no way to identify or prevent this common intrusion method.

Common Area Vandalism

Lobbies, stairwells, lifts, and shared amenities are vulnerable to damage. CCTV coverage deters vandalism and identifies those responsible when damage occurs.

Parcel Theft

Deliveries left in foyers and mail rooms are increasingly targeted. Camera coverage of these areas protects residents' property and provides evidence of theft.

Car Park Break-ins

Underground and multi-level car parks are prime targets for vehicle break-ins. Poor lighting and lack of surveillance make these areas particularly vulnerable.

Visitor Management

Tradespeople, food delivery drivers, and guests need controlled access without compromising building security. Intercom systems with visual verification solve this.

Strata Committee Disputes

Noise complaints, misuse of facilities, and responsibility for damage are common strata disputes. CCTV evidence helps committees resolve these fairly and quickly.

Our apartment and strata solutions

We work with strata managers, building managers, and owners' corporations across Adelaide to design security systems that serve the entire building. From new developments in the CBD to established complexes in Glenelg and Norwood, we tailor every installation to your building's layout.

  • * Video intercom systems with app-based remote unlock.
  • * Common area CCTV covering foyers, corridors, car parks, and amenities.
  • * Fob or card access control for building entry and shared facilities.
  • * Car park CCTV with number plate recognition.
  • * Lift camera systems with integration to NVR recording.
  • * Scalable systems that grow as buildings add new stages.

Strata-friendly process

We understand strata governance. We provide detailed quotes and scope documents suitable for committee meetings and AGM approvals. Our proposals include camera placement maps, equipment specifications, and ongoing maintenance costs.

We can also attend strata committee meetings to present options and answer questions directly, making the approval process smoother for all parties.

Our implementation process

1. Building walkthrough

We survey all common areas, entry points, car parks, and service areas to map coverage requirements.

2. Strata proposal

Detailed proposal with camera maps, intercom specifications, and itemised costs suitable for committee review.

3. Committee presentation

We attend your strata meeting to present the proposal, answer questions, and adjust scope as needed.

4. Staged installation

Work is completed with minimal disruption to residents, coordinated with building management for access.

5. Fob programming

Each resident receives programmed access credentials. Building managers get admin access to add, remove, or modify permissions.

6. Handover & training

Building managers are trained on system administration, footage review, and intercom management.

Apartment security FAQs

Does the strata committee need to approve the installation?

Yes. Security upgrades to common property typically require a resolution at a general meeting. We provide all the documentation needed for a smooth approval process.

Can residents view common area cameras?

This depends on your strata rules. Typically, footage access is restricted to the building manager or strata committee. We configure user permissions to match your governance requirements.

How do video intercoms work with apartments?

Visitors press the unit number at the entry panel. The resident sees a live video feed on their indoor screen or mobile app and can unlock the door remotely.

Can we add cameras to an existing system?

In most cases, yes. We assess your existing infrastructure and recommend whether to expand the current system or upgrade to a newer platform that supports additional cameras.

What about car park security?

We install wide-angle cameras at entry/exit points and throughout parking levels, with number plate recognition to log vehicle movements and assist with investigations.

How is the system maintained long-term?

We offer annual maintenance plans that include camera cleaning, firmware updates, recording verification, and access credential audits to keep your system reliable.
