I don’t want the armed response.

• The Village security service provider will respond to home alarms of all members.

• You may, however, keep your own armed response company at your own cost.

• Switching from your current security service provider to the Smart Village service provider is relatively straight forward.

How will the new CCTV security system secure the forests behind Umdloti?

In principle the layout of the CCTV cameras will make Umdloti Village a “virtual gated estate” without the walls and gates. The location of the cameras (supported where necessary by physical barriers) is based on the security audits. 

In principle, existing security fences (e.g. at complexes and homes bordering the forest) will be incorporated into the Village security management plan.

Will the surveillance cameras (or APNR) cameras be in each of the main roads in Umdloti?

The ANPR cameras are located at the entrance to the Village on the M27 and then at three other locations that allow the Control Room to track the movement of suspect vehicles as they move through the Village.
