Stayed in condos, landed(individual), and also FnG landed.
I can say I'm qualified to give my opinion on this matter.
Condo security differ from one to another, and if you experience breakins, can't blame security company and ask for compensation from them. So much for strata and their 300-500 monthly maintenance. Yes there are many tier of security card scanner for access. But have you though of, what if your card has been hacked or their system hacked? It's like free access. And some of my condolences security is basically hi-bye type. No card? Just say you are drop off, then security just open the gate without registration. There's one that stands out, body cam, call individual unit to verify visitor etc. you get what you pay for. The good ones cost me RM0.5 PSF.
Landed without security, now that's hihlgh risk. Had experience with break-ins. Things got resolved by those back alley gate, CCTV ,and a guard dog. My theory of low hanging fruits stands.
Then comes landed with FnG, with less than 1k per annum, very responsible company that'll register all visitor without slack, and will double check if visitor did visit the said unit, every street has CCTV installed as well. Own security measures still needed, but owner will have another later if defence. Some mentioned freeloaders, yes they exist. Enjoy the security but not willing to pay.
So there you go, each has it's pros and cons. So far I see the landed FnG is the best in terms of price to value ratio.
Some use Graab App to preregister visitors, on top of that, guard house call resident via registered mobile phone numbers to double check before letting them in. Grab food or shopee deliveries are no exceptions. In the past, intercoms are used but it proved to be too troublesome as contacting by mobile phones is easier.I can say I'm qualified to give my opinion on this matter.
