    I agree that some  improvement on the fire door would help. I do have some suggestions regarding the security cameras though. As someone who has had severe damage to cars whilst parked in the car space, the police were very interested, coming several times and advised that if the OC installed good quality CCTV with the ability to backup for viewing then the chances of catching the perpetrator was much higher. For me, a person was seen beside my cars but unless I could prove it by vision it was my word against his/her.

    It was also a resident who was acting suspiciously not a intruder. We have installed two CCTV cameras over the entrance that only has the ability to view 90 degrees. The other is in the Gym… not sure why this was necessary. Today I tried to enter the garbage room and was overwhelmed by the rubbish /furniture left.. now CCTV would be very helpful there.

    Our very wise men took the decision to remove the lights and replace them with a movement sensor style. The entire car park is now in darkness unless one walks directly near the sensors. So I’m not convinced about the lighting suggestion.

    I agree that increased security does improve property values. After all, searches on property can easily determine the history of a scheme.

     On a positive note, because residents took careful notice of one such person he was eventually charged with breaking and entering.
