Intercoms and access for Norscot’s freestanding homes and larger properties
Norscot is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. At many Norscot homes, the street entrance serves both a driveway gate and a pedestrian gate, while the house may sit well back on a larger property. A caller can therefore be out of sight from the house, and an older indoor handset may be too far away to hear or answer conveniently.
For a Norscot entrance like this, we may use a video intercom with indoor monitors in the rooms where calls are answered. A GSM intercom is useful where running new cable across the property is impractical, provided the gate has power and reliable mobile signal. We connect the chosen system to the driveway motor or the pedestrian gate’s electric lock.
Someone buying an established Norscot home should not assume that every old remote, tag or gate code was handed over. We check the receiver, remove unknown users and register only the people the new owner approves. Household staff and regular service providers can then receive separate codes or tags that are removed without changing access for everyone else.
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 Norscot
Can the Norscot gate intercom ring our cellphones instead of an indoor handset?
Yes. A GSM intercom can ring registered phones, but it needs power and mobile signal at the gate, and its SIM has ongoing airtime costs.
We have just bought a Norscot house. Can you cancel the previous owner’s remotes?
Yes. We can clear old remotes from the receiver and register only the remotes, tags or codes that your household approves.
Every Norscot property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your intercom work.
