STRATA SECURITY FOR FAIRFIELD PROPERTIES
PROTECTING COMMON AREAS. MANAGING BUILDING ACCESS.

Strata security involves more than installing cameras at entrances.

Apartment buildings often have shared access points, visitor entry systems, car parks, pedestrian pathways and equipment distributed throughout the property.

A suitable security design should consider how these areas operate together, how authorised users access the systems and how equipment will be maintained.

We assist strata managers, owners corporations and authorised representatives with security assessments, system proposals, new installations and upgrades.

SECURITY FOR MULTI-BUILDING STRATA COMPLEXES
CONNECTING SECURITY ACROSS THE PROPERTY

Larger strata complexes may have several separate buildings, shared pathways, common facilities and equipment distributed across the site.

A coordinated design can simplify system management while allowing cameras and security devices to operate across different areas.

Depending on the infrastructure, we can assess:

  • Centralised CCTV recording

  • Distributed PoE network switches

  • Wireless building-to-building links

  • Structured cabling and network equipment

  • Remote system access

  • Recording storage and retention

  • Network capacity and connectivity

  • Local recording options for supported cameras
