Strata & Apartment Building Security Perth
Video intercom, access control and CCTV for Perth strata and apartment buildings
Strata security has to work for every unit owner and every visitor without ongoing hassle. We work with Perth strata companies, body corporates and building managers to install multi-tenant video intercoms, access-controlled common-area doors, and shared CCTV covering entries, lifts, carparks and bin stores - always with a strata-friendly billing structure and documented commissioning at hand-over.
Strata & Apartment Security Challenges We Solve
Multi-tenant video intercom
Every apartment has its own indoor station (or app-based intercom) that can answer a call from the front door and release entry with one tap. Adding a new tenant is a 30-second admin task, not a rewire.
Common-area access control
Front doors, side gates, bin rooms, lift lobbies and carpark access all sit on the one access-control system, with a single fob or app credential per resident. Lost fobs are cancelled instantly rather than triggering a $15,000 lock rekey.
Shared CCTV coverage
Building common areas - entries, lift cars, corridors, carpark and bin stores - get cameras that record locally to a shared NVR. Footage requests from residents or police are handled by the building manager to a documented process.
Privacy compliance
Strata CCTV needs careful placement to avoid pointing into any individual apartment or private balcony. We follow the OAIC guidelines and document camera fields-of-view at commissioning so the strata council has evidence of compliant placement.

Strata & Apartment Security FAQ
Do you work with strata managers on the quote?
Yes - almost every strata job we do is quoted with the strata manager or building manager involved. We provide a fixed written quote, a scope document and a commissioning plan the strata council can review before approval.
Can existing keys and fobs be phased in?
Yes. We can run the new access-control credentials alongside existing keys for a transition period, then de-authorise the mechanical keys once every resident has their new fob or app credential.
Who owns and maintains the system after handover?
The strata / body corporate owns the system as common property. We hand over full documentation, admin credentials and a maintenance plan; ongoing service is either on-call or under an annual maintenance agreement, both quoted upfront.
