Keeping Bazley safe comes at a cost
The B.R.A. invests heavily in keeping Bazley safe, with approximately 16.5% of all revenue allocated to camera surveillance. We currently operate 15 strategically placed cameras, monitored 24/7 by Gladiator Security.
When suspicious activity is detected, Frederick Janse van Rensburg is alerted immediately and responds as quickly as possible. Beyond enabling rapid response and supporting investigations, the cameras act as a powerful crime deterrent, helping to prevent incidents before they occur and providing peace of mind for residents and visitors alike. This investment benefits the entire community and plays a vital role in keeping Bazley safe and secure.
What it costs to fund Bazley’s camera security
Monthly camera monitoring cost: ± R3 975
Annual security cost: ± R47 700
Annual subscription per homeowner: R1 400
It takes approximately 35 annual subscriptions just to cover the cost of camera surveillance alone.
Why camera surveillance matters in a small community
Strong crime deterrent
Visible cameras discourage opportunistic crime, making Bazley a far less attractive target.
Rapid response when it matters most
Real-time monitoring allows suspicious activity to be flagged immediately, enabling swift intervention before incidents escalate.
Early detection and prevention
Unusual behaviour is often identified early, allowing action to be taken before a crime is committed.
Extra eyes without confrontation
Continuous monitoring enhances safety without residents needing to patrol or place themselves at risk.
Support for SAPS and investigations
Recorded footage is invaluable for identifying suspects, confirming timelines, and supporting successful prosecutions.
Peace of mind for residents and visitors
Active monitoring reassures homeowners, holidaymakers, and visitors — particularly those who are not always on site.
