Security Services in Chermside

Chermside homes and what they mean for security

Away from the shopping centre, Chermside's streets are lined with post-war lowset timber and fibro homes on quarter-acre-style blocks, many now sitting next to newer brick townhouse complexes built where older houses were subdivided. Older detached homes often have open carports rather than lockable garages and front verandahs with limited lighting. Townhouses usually share a common driveway and letterbox bank, which changes where a camera can legally and practically be mounted.
