Security systems for strata managers in Perth, delivered the way a portfolio needs them: one licensed contractor for intercoms, common-area access control, CCTV and alarm monitoring, with quotes a committee can read and reporting an owner can forward. We work for strata managers across the Perth metro area on buildings from twelve lots to several hundred.
A strata manager does not want four security companies across twenty buildings. The calls that come to us from strata managers are about the same few things: an intercom that has reached end of life and residents who are locked out, a fob system nobody can administer because the installer is gone, cameras that recorded nothing when a car park incident happened, and a committee that wants one quote, one explanation and one invoice.
So the work is set up that way. Every building gets its own documented system; the portfolio gets one contact, one maintenance schedule, one standard for how quotes and reports are written, and a tech who knows the plant room before the fault call comes in.
Ageing apartment intercoms fail one apartment at a time until the whole building is a complaint. Replacement is planned so residents are never locked out: the new door station and head end go in alongside the old system, apartments are cut across in stages, and the old equipment is removed last. Where the building's wiring supports it, a 2-wire retrofit avoids re-cabling every lot; where it does not, an IP system is designed around the existing risers.
Platforms we install for strata include 2N, Akuvox, Urmet, Aiphone and UniFi, chosen by the building's wiring, the number of lots and whether the committee wants app-based answering for residents. The intercom systems page covers the platforms in detail.
Entries, lifts, car parks, bin rooms and gyms on one access system, with credentials issued per lot and a register the strata manager controls. Lost fobs are cancelled rather than copied, tenant changeovers are a credential change rather than a re-key, and the audit trail shows which fob opened which door when a dispute lands. We take over existing systems where the administration has been lost, and install new ones where the building has never had them.
Common-area CCTV for strata is designed around the incidents that actually occur: car park damage, bin-room dumping, tailgating at entries, lift and lobby disputes. That means camera placement for identification at entries, retention set so footage still exists when the complaint arrives two weeks later, and an export process the building manager can follow. Where a building wants after-hours response, common-area alarms and plant rooms are monitored back to base with the committee's contact list.
Every quote states what is being replaced and why, what the building keeps, how residents are affected during the work and what the maintenance path is afterwards, without jargon and without supplier names. Incident and maintenance reports are written so the strata manager can forward them to an owner or an insurer unchanged. Strata work is commercial work, and it is quoted and documented as such.
Yes, and that is the point of this service. Each building gets its own documented system and the portfolio gets one contact, one maintenance schedule and one standard for quotes and reports. Mixed platforms across buildings are normal; the documentation and the point of contact are what stay consistent.
The new door station and head end are installed alongside the old system, apartments are cut across in stages, and the old equipment comes out last. Residents keep a working intercom throughout. The committee gets a schedule showing which lots change on which day.
Usually, yes. We identify the access system, recover or reset administration, rebuild the credential register against the lot list, cancel unknown fobs and hand the strata manager a system they control. Where the hardware is obsolete, we quote a replacement that reuses as much cabling as possible.
It depends on the building: number of lots and entries, what cabling exists, which systems are being replaced or taken over, and whether monitoring is wanted. Send us the building address, the number of lots and what is failing, and we will inspect and quote in a form the committee can approve.
Commercial. The client is the strata company through its manager, the systems serve common property, and the work is quoted, documented and maintained the way we handle any commercial site.
Addresses, lot counts, what is failing and what the committee has asked for. We will inspect, quote each building in a form the committee can approve, and set up one maintenance schedule across the lot.
