At around 1877 people per square kilometre, Ringwood gives enough setback for a camera to read a face at the gate rather than just registering movement. Ringwood sits near 123 metres. The gentle grade means driveways are often on an angle, which changes where a camera has to sit to read a plate.
At roughly 25 kilometres out, Ringwood has larger footprints, which usually means one more camera than people expect and a longer run to the recorder. For Ringwood, Maroondah matters mainly if a camera goes on a heritage-controlled facade. The bigger constraint everywhere is keeping the field of view inside your own boundary.
A job in Ringwood usually sits alongside something we already have booked in Croydon or Donvale that week. Ringwood is postcode 3134, roughly 10.2 square kilometres of Maroondah, and held 19144 residents at the 2021 census.
A note on how Ringwood was built: In 2009, the State Government controversially approved the building of a nine-storey housing development near Ringwood Lake, without Council or public consultation. That is a fair guide to whether we will be drilling brick, weatherboard or cladding. The suburbs we work alongside Ringwood are Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham, and all of them are quoted on the same basis.
At roughly 7.4 kilometres north-west of Boronia, Ringwood is inside the area we cover every week rather than on its edge. Ringwood grew around Ringwood railway station, so housing age tends to step newer as you move away from the line.
