Intercoms and access for Oaklands homes, clusters and apartments
Oaklands is about 6 km south-east of Sandton City. Oaklands combines large freestanding homes with cluster complexes and modern apartments, so entrances range from a private driveway gate to a shared vehicle gate and pedestrian entrance. At a house near Osborn Road or Grant Avenue, visitors may be screened by one household, while a complex must direct each caller to the correct resident without giving them general access.
For an Oaklands house, we may use a video intercom with indoor monitors where the gate can be cabled, or a GSM intercom where residents need calls on their phones. At shared Oaklands entrances, we separate visitor calls from resident access, then link approved tags, codes or fingerprints to the vehicle gate or pedestrian lock. Any biometric reader should have a fallback code and suit the position where it will be installed.
Oaklands households often need different access for family, staff and regular services. Individual tags or codes are easier to remove than shared remotes when a gardener, domestic worker or contractor stops coming. For someone who has just bought in Oaklands, we can clear old remotes and codes before registering the people who should still have access.
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 Oaklands
Should an Oaklands house use a GSM or video intercom?
It depends on the route from the entrance to the house. Video suits an Oaklands gate with sound cabling, while GSM is useful where calls must reach registered phones and there is mobile signal and power at the gate.
Can you remove the previous owner's remotes and gate codes?
Yes. At an Oaklands property we can clear old remotes from the receiver, change shared codes and register only the users the new owner approves.
