Upgrading access on Dunkeld's established and renovated properties
Dunkeld is about 4 km south-west of Sandton City. In Dunkeld, access points are often obscured by mature trees and high walls on both large freestanding properties and upmarket complexes. Entrances on streets like Jellicoe Avenue serve residents, staff, and the constant flow of contractors from ongoing renovations. This mix of established properties and new construction creates a challenge in knowing exactly who has access at any given time.
Our approach separates visitor screening from resident access. A video intercom allows homeowners to see who is at the gate, which is important on stands with long driveways or dense gardens. For complexes and homes managing multiple users, we replace unaccounted-for remotes with individual tags or codes. This provides specific, revokable access for residents, staff, and temporary access for renovation teams.
The most important task in Dunkeld, for new homeowners and bodies corporate alike, is auditing access. When a property changes hands or a project ends, old remotes and codes often remain active. We provide a clear system handover, showing how to administer users and remove old credentials one by one. This ensures access is limited only to current, authorised people.
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 Dunkeld
Our property in Dunkeld is old but the gate motor is new. Can a modern intercom work with it?
Yes, almost always. We connect new intercoms and access control systems to existing gate motors, whether old or new. The system simply sends a signal to the motor to open, so compatibility is rarely an issue.
In our complex, can we give contractors access only during work hours?
Yes. Many access control systems allow for time-based rules. We can program a contractor's tag or code to work only on weekdays between specific hours, and to expire automatically on a set date.
