Intercoms and access control in Fairmount

Fairmount homes often have spacious gardens between the house and street entrance, with separate driveway and pedestrian gates. We fit and repair intercoms in Fairmount, choosing video or mobile calling and connecting each gate to suitable visitor and household access controls.

Intercoms for Fairmount homes with deep garden entrances

Fairmount is about 6 km south-east of Sandton City. At many Fairmount homes, the street gate is separated from the house by a spacious garden, so a caller may be hard to see or hear from indoors. Mature trees can also make the entrance feel screened from the house, while the driveway gate and pedestrian gate may need different ways to admit visitors.

For a Fairmount entrance with a clear cable route, we would consider a video intercom with indoor monitors where the household can answer them easily. If the distance or garden makes new cabling disruptive, a GSM intercom can ring registered phones, provided the gate has power and reliable mobile signal. We can link the chosen system to the driveway motor or the electric lock on the pedestrian gate.

Fairmount households often need to give recurring access to domestic staff, gardeners and service providers without sharing one remote. Individual tags or PIN codes are easier to remove when arrangements change, while temporary codes can suit work on the property. For a recently purchased Fairmount home, we can clear unknown remotes and old codes before registering the people the new owner approves.

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 Fairmount

Will a GSM intercom work at my Fairmount gate if the house is far back from the road?

Yes, if there is reliable mobile signal and power at the gate. It rings the phones you register, and its SIM has separate airtime costs.

Can the driveway gate and pedestrian gate use the same intercom?

Often, yes. We first check the gate motor, pedestrian lock, cabling and the controls available on the chosen intercom.

What our intercom and access control customers say

  • We wanted staff access to stop automatically after working hours. Tyson configured the access control system with scheduled permissions so each group only has access when they should.

  • We wanted visitors to receive one-time access without adding them permanently to the system. One Point configured temporary PIN access that expires after use.

    Corne H.
  • Our GSM intercom stopped calling our phones after we changed network providers. One Point updated the settings and tested every number until the system was working properly again.
