Managing resident and visitor access in Beverley's secure complexes
Beverley is about 11 km south-west of Sandton City. In Beverley, security for most residents means controlling the single entrance to a cluster complex or estate. The challenge is not just the perimeter wall, but the main gate, where years of access given to past residents, tenants, and contractors can leave the system compromised. An old intercom panel that no one updates becomes a weak point for every home inside.
Our approach for Beverley's complexes is to separate resident access from visitor screening. We install intercoms that call directly to a resident's phone, which avoids the problem of faulty wiring running to each unit. For residents and staff, we use access tags or codes. This allows for a clean, manageable list of who is allowed in.
The most important job for trustees in a Beverley body corporate is administering the user list. When a resident moves out, their tag or code must be removed promptly. A system is only as secure as this list is current. We make sure the designated administrator knows how to add and, more importantly, delete users one by one as people come and go.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our intercoms and access control page.
Questions from Beverley
A tenant has moved out but might still have their access tag. What can we do?
We can delete that specific tag from the system so it no longer works. Unlike old remotes, individual tags can be removed from the access list without affecting anyone else.
Our complex intercom is old and doesn't work for half the units. Must we replace it all?
Not always. We can often install a new gate station that uses the mobile network to call residents' phones. This bypasses old, faulty wiring to individual units and ensures visitors can reach everyone.
