The questions are the same on a six-flat stair and over a shop.
How many floors, counting the ground. Does a cable already rise. Who is allowed to hold the password. Apartments, small offices, and the stair between them start there.
Stair camera, high on the wall, looking along the landing rather than into a flat.
In sightThe camera sees the common landing and the flight. Not the room beyond an open door, and not a neighbour’s window.
5,450ILS. Entrance, lobby, one stair, and the bin room. Cables under 15 metres. Signs included.
820ILS for a second stair, if the cable run stays under 15 metres. The outside of the building is priced on site.
12,900ILS. Eight-camera IP set for an office floor or a stair of about six floors. Switch, recorder, signs.
Apartment stairs
On a shared stair the camera has one job: the common landing and the flight. Flat doors will appear at the edge of some frames. What must not appear is the room beyond an open door, or a neighbour’s window across the light well. We stand on the landing with the chair and we look at the screen before we tighten the bracket. If we cannot frame it cleanly, that landing stays off the plan and we say why.
A typical small building, entrance plus lobby plus one stair plus the bin room, is the four-camera line at 5,450 ILS, cables under 15 metres, signs included. A second stair core is another camera, 820 ILS if the run is short, more if we have to go up the outside. Tell us about the roof door if people actually use it. A camera on a roof that nobody visits is a lens that fills with dust.
Handsets and panels are the intercom job, not this camera count. A building can renew the buzzer this year and add cameras next year. We will say which order is cheaper if the riser is already open.
A small office monitor wall. The screens in this photograph are blurred on purpose. On a real job the picture is sharp, and only the people the office named can see it.
Offices and small mixed buildings
An office over a shop, or a clinic with a locked stair, is often an eight-camera IP set: reception, door, corridor, store, and the stair the landlord still owns. The card price is 12,900 ILS with the switch, the recorder, and the signs. The monitors go in a room the staff already sit in, not in a corridor where every visitor can watch.
The hirer has to be the tenant’s authorised manager or the landlord, for the parts of the building each of them controls. We will not put a camera on the landlord’s stair because a tenant asked, and we will not put one inside the tenant’s rooms because the landlord asked. Write down which party is asking, and for which doors. Mixed buildings fail when that sentence is missing.
If the office already has a tray in the ceiling, we use it. If the tray is full, we say so. We do not pile another cable on top of a tray the fire inspector has already complained about.
What we ask before we quote a building
Floors, counting the ground, and whether the stair is one core or two.
Flats or suites that need a handset or a monitor. Empty flats still count if the committee wants them on the panel.
Whether any handset still rings. That is the riser test.
Who holds the admin password, or that nobody does.
Where the recorder cupboard can be locked, and whether that room has a socket and, if you want the app, an internet line.
Which doors are common property, and which look into a home.
A management company can send this. A single resident cannot order the common part. If you are gathering it for a meeting, the quote form produces a note the chair can forward. It still is not a booking.
Buildings we are a poor fit for
A tower with a multi-level car park, a hotel, a site that wants dozens of cameras and a guard room. The card is for apartments, offices, and small buildings. We will look at a larger stair if it is inside our radius and the committee wants a plain system, but we will not pretend the four-camera price survives a three-storey garage. Ask, and we will either survey it properly or tell you to call a firm that lives in towers.
