CCTV Installation in Sholinganallur and Navalur: Homes
Sholinganallur and Navalur grew with the OMR IT corridor, and many homes here belong to working couples who are out all day while parcels, helpers and visitors arrive. A good CCTV installation in Sholinganallur or Navalur has to look after the house when nobody is in it.
This guide covers apartments, independent villas and plots under construction.
Apartments: your door and your balcony
The community usually secures the gate and common areas. You can add a camera at your own door, with a speaker, and one covering the balcony if it is reachable. Check the association's rules first, and keep cameras aimed at your own space, not the neighbours'.
Parcels and visitors
Many deliveries arrive when you are at work. With two-way talk you can ask a courier to leave the parcel at the door, or ask a visitor to wait. AI face detection lists everyone who comes to the door and sends the photos to your phone; click a face to play that visit.
Villas and gated plots
Villas have more openings: gate, main door, back door, sides, balcony and terrace. Mark the compound wall in the camera so that human detection can trigger a siren and a voice warning if someone steps in. The aim is to warn off an intruder before a break-in. Our OMR family security guide goes into more detail.
Under construction
Plots under construction attract material theft. Read how to watch a site in our construction site guide, and plan conduit before the roof is cast; see the roof wiring guide.
Power and humidity
Power cuts and humid, coastal air are common on OMR. Add backup power for the recorder, choose metal body cameras and seal every cable joint. Use pure copper cable, never copper-clad aluminium.
Stanklin, a Taiwan-based AI CCTV brand, makes the cameras we install. They offer AI face detection (the faces of everyone who comes are listed, and you click a face to see that visit), AI human detection, a large external siren speaker with voice warnings, two-way talk from your phone, colour night vision with built-in lights, and audio recording. They have a metal body, a Sony sensor and a 2 year replacement warranty.
Key takeaways
- CCTV installation in Sholinganallur should suit people who are out all day.
- Two-way talk and face lists handle parcels and visitors from your phone.
- Plan conduit, backup power and sealed joints for humid OMR conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add a camera to a flat without drilling the common wall?
Ask the association. We can plan mounting and cable routes that keep the finish neat.
Does the camera work when the internet fails?
The recorder keeps recording locally. Viewing on your phone returns when the internet does.
Can my parents use it?
Parents do not need to touch anything. You can talk to them from your phone through the camera.
Do you cover Navalur and nearby areas?
Yes. Our Chennai team covers the whole city, including OMR.
