Managing access for Craighall homes with established gardens and park boundaries
Craighall is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. Many Craighall properties are large stands with established gardens, and some back directly onto public green spaces like the Braamfontein Spruit. This often means the street gate is a long way from the house, making it impossible to see or hear a visitor who arrives. Older walls and mature gardens can also complicate the running of new cables from the boundary to the house.
To solve the problem of distance, we install video intercoms so you can see who is at the gate before granting access. Where established gardens or long paved driveways make new cabling impractical, we can fit an intercom system that uses the mobile network to call your phones. This only requires a power source at the gate, leaving your garden undisturbed.
For homeowners managing staff, gardeners, and contractors, handing out remotes can become a problem. We recommend access control using individual codes or tags for each person. When a staff member or contractor leaves, their specific tag or code can be deleted without affecting anyone else. For new residents, we can clear all old remotes from the gate motor's memory, making sure only you control who comes in.
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
Our garden is mature. Does installing a new intercom mean digging up paving and flowerbeds?
Not necessarily. If running a new cable is disruptive, we can install an intercom that uses the mobile network to call your phone. This type of system only needs power at the gate, avoiding the need for a new trench.
We've just moved in. How do we know who still has remotes from the previous owner?
We can completely clear your gate motor's receiver memory. After that, we re-register only the remotes you currently hold, so you can be certain that no old, unaccounted-for remotes will work.
If something on your intercom setup in Craighall 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.
