Intercoms and access control in Parkmore

Homes bordering George Lea Park and the Braamfontein Spruit can have tree-lined boundaries that hide gates from the house. We repair and upgrade intercoms in Parkmore, choosing video or mobile answering and resetting inherited remotes and codes when access needs new control.

Intercoms and access for Parkmore's varied homes and public-facing boundaries

Parkmore is about 2 km north-west of Sandton City. Parkmore features a blend of established freestanding homes and sectional title complexes, particularly near Benmore Road and the Sandton border. Many older properties have large trees and private fences that need specific consideration at their entrances. Entrances to these homes, as well as shared perimeters of complexes, are often out of sight from the street. Properties along George Lea Park or the Braamfontein Spruit have boundaries that require careful planning for visitor screening and access management.

For freestanding homes in Parkmore, a video intercom allows you to see visitors before opening, especially where the gate is far from the house. If running cables is difficult through established gardens with large trees, a GSM intercom can call your mobile phones instead, provided there is good signal at the gate. For complexes, we focus on solid visitor screening at the main entrance, combined with individual access control for residents, staff, and contractors to their Parkmore property.

Many homeowners and trustees in Parkmore find that old remotes, codes, or keys from previous owners or their staff still work. We can clear all old access methods from your gate motor or access control system and re-register only the people you approve. This ensures you know exactly who has access to your property from day one, whether it is a freestanding home or a unit in a complex near Benmore Centre or Holt Street West.

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 Parkmore

Can visitors call my cellphone from my Parkmore gate?

Yes, a GSM intercom rings the mobile numbers you register. It needs mobile signal and power at the gate, and the SIM card requires its own airtime costs.

We just bought a home in Parkmore; how do we remove the previous owner's access?

We can clear all existing remotes and codes from your gate motor's receiver and register only the new ones you provide, making sure only your approved people have access.

If something on your intercom setup in Parkmore 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.

What our intercom and access control customers say

  • Our fingerprint access stopped working after a prolonged power outage. Tyson replaced the backup battery, checked the controller and restored all the user records.

  • We replaced our old gate intercom with a video system that lets us see and speak to visitors before opening. Tyson and the One Point team set everything up neatly and made sure the image and sound were clear from both floors of the house.

    Adrian C.
  • One Point installed facial recognition at our staff entrance so employees can get in without cards or tags. The setup was quick, accurate and much more convenient than our previous system.
