Intercoms and gate access for Craighall Park houses with long driveways
Craighall Park is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. On a Craighall Park stand the house can be a long way from the street gate, so a visitor at the pedestrian gate or the driveway is out of sight and out of earshot. Older audio intercoms here often have a crackling line or a gate station worn out by years of weather, and the handset sits in one room of a big house.
A video intercom lets you see who is there before you open, with more than one indoor monitor so it can be answered upstairs or in the kitchen, and the release wired to the gate motor and the pedestrian gate's lock. Where running a cable back to the house is hard on a long driveway, a GSM intercom calls your phones instead, as long as there is mobile signal at the gate.
Households here often have staff, gardeners and regular services coming and going. Rather than handing out remotes, each can have their own keypad code or tag, which you can change or remove without touching anyone else's, and builders or contractors can have temporary codes that stop working when the job is done.
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 Craighall Park
Can we answer the gate intercom from more than one room?
Yes. Most video intercom systems take extra indoor monitors, so you can answer upstairs, in the kitchen or in a cottage.
Our gate station is badly weathered. Do we need a whole new system?
Not always. If the indoor units and cabling are sound, we can often replace only the outside station with one made for the weather.
If something on your intercom setup in Craighall Park is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
