WBSNW CAMERA PROGRAM

When WBSNW was initially established, our priority, and first phase of this crime prevention initiative, was to implement street patrollers, as based on statistics throughout the world, including SA, we knew that this would have an immediate impact, which proved to be the case, as our crime dropped from incidents every week, to almost zero

Unfortunately, as we are unable to cover the street patrols on a 24/7 basis, our second phase of our initiative, was to implement a camera network system throughout our neighbourhood, where we could have our own members logging in and viewing our community owned cameras, both on a structured basis, ie, roster, and on an ad-hoc basis.

To implement this camera network, we reviewed existing resident’s camera systems, identified all critical entry and exit points to the neighbourhood, and came up with a strategy where we combined both these existing cameras, as well as new camera installations, to create our current network system, which now boasts some 52 active cameras, and which are available for viewing to all registered members, and have been funded by the community. 

Our initial contributors to this Camera Program, and whom we relied on heavily during our implementation phase, were our neighbourhood sponsored armed response company ET Rapid Response, who carried out our initial installations, and maintenance to our camera program.

Currently our service provider to our Camera Program, for all new, existing and maintenance is Russel Grant Security Solutions, who give us an excellent response and service, and ensures that our cameras are up and running 24/7. 

Currently, as WNSNW has expanded to include Warner Beach North, and the Winklespruit areas, we have continued to expand this camera network, to where we currently have 52 cameras available, and we will continue to expand, with the end goal to ensure that we have every entry and exit point covered and under continual surveillance.

Our current camera duties for each of our camera monitors, consist of a monthly duty of around an hour and a half each, which is really a small commitment, and costs you nothing. The goal of this program is to obviously increase the number of members, to where we can carry out monitoring on a 24/7 basis.  

If you can monitor cameras or would like a demonstration first to see what it is like, then please contact us and we can arrange a time.

 

All camera monitors need to be registered members of WBSNW and must have completed the necessary documentation as indicated under the registration page. Once signed up, we will assist you with the necessary downloads and implementation of the camera system to either your computer or cell phone.
