What they don't tell you about society security
What's the real story with security systems in societies like AFOWO Raksha Addela? We're looking to downsize, kids have moved out, so peace of mind is crucial. They showed us all these CCTVs and fancy visitor management apps. But then I hear about guards just waving cars through, or cameras not working properly after a year. We're ready to pay for good maintenance, but not for a false sense of security. Anyone living there, what's your actual experience?

Bhai, Noida ke market mein abhi bohot societies hain jo completion ke baad bhi security pe compromise karti hain. It's not just AFOWO. Builders cut corners after possession. Check the maintenance committee details carefully, they are usually responsible for security post-handover.
This is my biggest worry! We are also first-time buyers, and security is non-negotiable for my family. My parents live alone, so I need to be sure. What about visitor verification? Do they actually check IDs properly, or is it just a formality? Aur CCTV footage ka backup kitne din ka hota hai? Kya koi specific incident hua hai jisse pata chala ho ki system weak hai? ₹75 L – ₹1.3 Cr is a huge investment, can't compromise on this.
U5, about specific incidents, fortunately, nothing major that made headlines. But small things keep happening. Packages getting misplaced, unknown vendors trying to solicit business inside, sometimes even suspicious vehicles parked for long. The biggest issue is lack of consistent vigilance. Guards change frequently, and new ones don't always follow protocols. We are first-time buyers too, and this feels like a constant battle with the RWA and security agency. It's not just about the tech, it's about the people managing it.
U5, same question! My biggest fear is unknown people roaming around.
U5, visitor verification is hit or miss. Sometimes they take ID, sometimes just ask for flat number. CCTV backup is usually 30 days, but I've heard stories from other societies in Alpha I Greater Noida where footage was missing when needed. No major incident that I know of in Raksha Addela, thankfully, but that's what makes us complacent.
Totally relate! Humne bhi ek society dekhi thi Greater Noida mein, sab high-tech dikhaya but jab padosi se pucha toh bolte they guards so jaate hain raat mein. AFOWO Raksha Addela mein bhi similar issues hain kya?
