59. questions for trustees, managing agents, and fellow owners.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Left unchecked, these installations can lead to disputes,

72. and Prescribed Management Rules (PMRs), any alteration to common property
73. requires trustee approval — and in some cases, a special resolution from the
74. body corporate.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Installing a camera on a boundary wall, attaching it to a

Privacy, POPIA &amp; Rights of Residents<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">One of the most common objections raised by residents is:<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><em>“That camera overlooks me — it’s a violation of my
85. privacy and POPIA rights!”</em><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">But the reality is more nuanced:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
86. <li class="MsoNormal">POPIA
87.     (Protection of Personal Information Act) allows the collection of personal
88.     information (such as video footage) if it is necessary, lawful, and used
89.     for a legitimate purpose.<o:p></o:p></li>

95. <li class="MsoNormal">That
96.     said, POPIA does place restrictions:<o:p></o:p></li>

98. <li class="MsoNormal">Footage
99.     may not be misused, shared online, or used for harassment.<o:p></o:p></li>

106. permission. This sets a precedent and may lead to “camera clutter” across the
107. scheme.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Steps trustees should follow:<o:p></o:p></p><ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
108. <li class="MsoNormal">Written
109.     notice – Reference STSMA and PMRs, explaining that approval is required.<o:p></o:p></li>
110. <li class="MsoNormal">Opportunity
111.     to apply – Give the owner a chance to submit a proper request.<o:p></o:p></li>
112. <li class="MsoNormal">Consistency
113.     – If one camera is allowed, be prepared for others to request the same.<o:p></o:p></li>
114. <li class="MsoNormal">Enforcement
115.     – If the owner refuses to comply, the body corporate can enforce removal
116.     via the Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS).<o:p></o:p></li>
117. </ol><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>4. Why Residents Install Cameras: A Red Flag for Trustees<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Perhaps the most overlooked issue: if residents feel
118. compelled to install their own <strong>cameras, it may signal they lack confidence
119. in the trustees’ security management.<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">This doesn’t always mean trustees are failing, but
120. perception matters.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Trustees should:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
121. <li class="MsoNormal">Communicate
122.     clearly what security measures are in place and why.<o:p></o:p></li>
123. <li class="MsoNormal">Assess
124.     gaps: are entrances, parking bays, or perimeters properly covered?<o:p></o:p></li>
125. <li class="MsoNormal">Plan
126.     upgrades: consider a community-wide CCTV project managed by the body
127.     corporate. This ensures legal compliance, fairness, and consistency.<o:p></o:p></li>
128. <li class="MsoNormal">Engage
129.     residents: hosting an information session or survey can build trust and
130.     show that concerns are taken seriously.<o:p></o:p></li>
131. </ul><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Conclusion<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Private CCTV cameras in sectional title schemes raise legal,

691. Blame When a Gate Closes Prematurely Causing Damage?<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>In order to attribute blame one needs to understand the
692. causes.</strong> Automated gates are a convenient and secure solution for
693. residential estates and complexes. Yet, when a gate closes prematurely and
694. collides with a vehicle or trailer, the question of liability becomes
695. contentious. To determine who is responsible, one must first consider the
696. possible causes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><u>Common Causes of Gates Closing Prematurely</u><o:p></o:p></strong></p><ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
697. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Timer
698.     Settings Too Short</strong><br />
699.     Most automated gates are fitted with an auto-close timer. If the timer is
700.     set too tightly, the gate may close before a vehicle or trailer has fully
701.     cleared the entrance.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
702. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>No
703.     Safety Beams Installed</strong><br />
704.     Without safety beams, the system relies solely on the timer. This means
705.     the gate may close regardless of whether a vehicle is still in the path.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<o:p></o:p></li>

713.  <li class="MsoNormal">Open-frame
714.      trailers (boat trailers, caravans, utility trailers) often allow the beam

940. <div class="pagelayer-text-holder"><p class="MsoNormal"><strong><o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Running a daycare or childcare facility comes with immense
941. responsibility. Parents place their trust in you to provide a safe and
942. nurturing environment for their children. In today’s world, relying solely on
943. traditional locks and manual supervision is no longer enough. Modern security
944. solutions such as <strong>access control systems</strong> and <strong>CCTV surveillance</strong>
945. have become essential tools not only for safety and security but also for
946. efficient staff management.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>1. Child Safety Comes First<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">The primary role of access control in a daycare is <strong>ensuring
947. that only authorized individuals can enter the premises</strong>. With systems such
948. as biometric readers, PIN pads, or proximity cards, facilities can:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
949. <li class="MsoNormal">Prevent
950.     unauthorized access by strangers.<o:p></o:p></li>
951. <li class="MsoNormal">Control
952.     who can enter sensitive areas such as classrooms, play areas, or
953.     administrative offices.<o:p></o:p></li>
954. <li class="MsoNormal">Ensure
955.     a secure handover process during drop-off and pick-up, giving parents
956.     peace of mind.<o:p></o:p></li>
957. </ul><p class="MsoNormal">CCTV adds another layer of protection by <strong>monitoring
958. entrances, hallways, and play zones in real time</strong>, ensuring children remain
959. safe throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>2. Security Against External Threats<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, childcare centers are not immune to criminal activity. Access control limits entry
960. points to vetted staff and registered parents or guardians. CCTV surveillance
961. acts as both a <strong>deterrent</strong> and a <strong>record of events</strong> if incidents
962. occur, providing valuable evidence for investigations or insurance claims.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>3. Staff Management and Accountability<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Daycares operate with multiple caregivers, assistants, and
963. support staff. Access control and CCTV systems are powerful tools for improving
964. management:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
965. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Time
966.     &amp; Attendance</strong>: Access logs can show when staff arrive and leave,
967.     helping reduce payroll disputes.<o:p></o:p></li>
968. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Transparency</strong>:
969.     CCTV helps ensure staff follow safety protocols, such as supervising
970.     children closely and adhering to hygiene routines.<o:p></o:p></li>
971. <li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Conflict
972.     Resolution</strong>: In the event of disputes (e.g., between staff or with
973.     parents), recorded footage provides clarity and reduces liability.<o:p></o:p></li>
974. </ul><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>4. Building Trust with Parents<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">Parents are more likely to choose and remain loyal to
975. facilities that demonstrate a strong commitment to safety. By implementing
976. access control and CCTV:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
977. <li class="MsoNormal">You
978.     provide <strong>visible reassurance</strong> that their children are safe.<o:p></o:p></li>
979. <li class="MsoNormal">You
980.     strengthen your reputation as a professional, reliable childcare provider.<o:p></o:p></li>

984. </ul><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>5. Compliance and Liability Protection<o:p></o:p></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal">In the unfortunate event of an incident, whether
985. safety-related or operational, <strong>recorded evidence</strong> can protect the
986. facility from false claims. Many insurers and regulators also view electronic
987. access control and CCTV as positive risk-mitigation measures, potentially

1233. <br />
1234. In recent years, load shedding has become a common occurrence in many parts of
1235. the world. Power outages can leave your home vulnerable, especially if you rely
1236. on an alarm system to keep your property safe. To avoid being caught off guard,
1237. many homeowners have considered increasing the battery size or changing to
1238. lithium batteries for their alarm panels. However, this is not a decision to be
1239. taken lightly.<br />
1240. <br />
1241. Increasing the size of your alarm panel's battery or changing to lithium
1242. batteries can be a risky move if not done by a professional who understands
1243. charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. The wrong battery or
1244. improper installation can cause serious damage to your alarm system, which may
1245. be costly to repair.<br />
1246. <br />
1247. The first factor to consider when increasing the battery size is the charge
1248. rate. An alarm panel's battery is designed to be charged at a specific rate,
1249. and if you increase the battery size, you may not be able to charge it
1250. properly. This can cause the battery to overheat, which can damage the battery
1251. and the alarm panel.<br />
1252. <br />
1253. The second factor to consider is battery chemistry. Lithium batteries are more
1254. powerful than traditional batteries and have a higher energy density. However,
1255. they require a specific charging process that is different from other types of
1256. batteries. If you don't understand the chemistry of lithium batteries, you
1257. could damage the battery or the alarm panel.<br />
1258. <br />
1259. The third factor to consider is charge time. If you increase the battery size
1260. or switch to a lithium battery, the charge time may also increase. If you don't
1261. account for this extra charge time, you may not have enough power to sustain
1262. your alarm system during a power outage.<br />
1263. <br />
1264. That's why it's crucial to have a professional install your alarm panel's
1265. battery. Our techinicians understand the charge rates, battery chemistry, and
1266. charge time factors that are necessary to ensure your alarm system is protected
1267. during a power outage.<br />
1268. <br />
1269. At Prestige Security Solutions, we have designed an effective solution to deal
1270. with electricity load shedding. Our system can be customized to suit your
1271. needs, from sustaining your alarm system for a few hours to days. Our team of
1272. professionals understands the intricacies of alarm panel batteries and can help
1273. you choose the right battery for your system.<br />
1274. <br />
1275. In conclusion, increasing the battery size or changing to lithium batteries for
1276. your alarm panel can be a risky move if not done by a professional who
1277. understands charge rates, battery chemistry, and charge time factors. At
1278. Prestige Security Solutions, we are here to help you navigate this process and
1279. ensure that your home remains safe and secure during power outages.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;

1363. mso-fareast-language:EN-ZA">As a technician for Prestige Security Solutions,
1364. one of the questions we often get asked is whether a lithium battery can be
1365. used in an alarm panel. The answer is that it depends on the alarm panel's
1366. built-in charger. While some panels are compatible with lithium batteries, many
1367. are not, and using a lithium battery in an incompatible panel can lead to
1368. damage and potentially even a fire hazard.<br />
1369. <br />
1370. Most alarm panels use trickle charging to charge batteries, which involves
1371. providing a small amount of current continuously to keep the battery topped up.
1372. However, this method is not always suitable for charging lithium batteries,
1373. which require a specific charging profile to avoid damage. Lithium batteries
1374. can be damaged by overcharging, which can cause them to swell, leak, or even
1375. catch fire.<br />
1376. <br />
1377. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the alarm panel is compatible with
1378. lithium batteries before installing one. In some cases, it may be possible to
1379. retrofit a compatible charger to an older alarm panel, but this should only be
1380. done by a qualified technician.<br />
1381. <br />
1382. It's essential to note that using a lithium battery in an incompatible alarm
1383. panel can void the warranty on both the battery and the panel. Moreover, it's
1384. essential to use only the recommended battery for your specific alarm panel.
1385. Using an incompatible battery can cause issues like poor battery life or a
1386. malfunctioning system.<br />
1387. <br />
1388. In conclusion, if you're considering installing a lithium battery in your alarm
1389. panel, it's important to do your research and ensure that your panel is
1390. compatible. If you're not sure, it's best to consult with a qualified
1391. technician like those at Prestige Security Solutions, who can advise you on the
1392. best course of action and install and maintain your system to ensure it
1393. operates reliably and safely.<br /><br />
1394. <br />
1395. At Prestige Security Solutions, we specialize in the installation and
1396. maintenance of state-of-the-art security systems. If you have any questions
1397. about using a lithium battery in your alarm panel or any other security-related

Two of the most common options are motion sensors and door/window sensors. While both types of sensors serve the same general purpose of detecting intruders, they work in different ways and have their own unique advantages and disadvantages.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Motion sensors are designed to detect movement within a certain area of your home. They work by emitting a beam of infrared radiation and measuring how long it takes for the beam to bounce back. If something interrupts the beam, such as a person walking by, the sensor will trigger an alarm. One advantage of motion sensors is that they can cover a larger area than door/window sensors, making them ideal for securing large rooms or areas with multiple entry points. However, they can also be more prone to false alarms, especially if you have pets or other small animals in your home.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Door/window sensors, on the other hand, are designed to detect when a door or window is opened or closed. They typically consist of two parts: one part attaches to the door or window itself, while the other part attaches to the frame. When the door or window is opened, the two parts separate, triggering the sensor. One advantage of door/window sensors is that they are less prone to false alarms than motion sensors. However, they are more limited in their coverage area and may not be as effective at detecting intruders who enter through an unsecured window or other entry point.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); --tw-border-spacing-x:0; --tw-border-spacing-y:0; --tw-translate-x:0; --tw-translate-y:0; --tw-rotate:0; --tw-skew-x:0; --tw-skew-y:0; --tw-scale-x:1; --tw-scale-y:1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness:proximity; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width:0px; --tw-ring-offset-color:#fff; --tw-ring-color:rgba(59,130,246,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow:0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored:0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; margin-top: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1.25em; color: rgb(55, 65, 81); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(247, 247, 248);">Ultimately, the best choice for your home will depend on your specific security needs and the layout of your home.
