Apartment Security Planner
A flat’s real weak point is the main door and the accessible windows — harden those first. Tell us your floor level, whether you have a balcony and whether the society is guarded, and this planner tailors an indicative flat-security plan. The building’s perimeter, lobby and CCTV are the society’s shared job, so coordinate rather than duplicate. Planning figures; runs in your browser.
A middle-floor flat with a balcony, in a society that is guarded.
- 1Smart lock or grade deadbolt + video door phone on the main door
- 2Main-door contact sensor

- 4One or two indoor cameras at the entry (not in private rooms)
- 5Smoke detector in the kitchen/living area

Indicative plan only — a flat’s weak points are the main door and the accessible windows, so harden those first; the building’s perimeter, lobby and CCTV are the society’s shared responsibility, so coordinate rather than duplicate. Ground-floor and top-floor (terrace-adjacent) flats need extra attention. Never put cameras in bedrooms or bathrooms (privacy & DPDP). Verify with your society rules and a security professional.
