Intercoms and access control in Sandhurst

Sandhurst homes often have separate driveway and pedestrian entrances used by family, staff and service providers. We repair and configure intercoms in Sandhurst, linking each gate to suitable answering points and assigning individual access credentials that can be changed without affecting other users.

Managing intercoms and access at Sandhurst homes and cluster entrances

Sandhurst is right on Sandton's doorstep. Sandhurst’s freestanding homes and cluster complexes often have several people using the entrance, including family, household staff and regular service providers. Visitors may arrive at either a driveway gate or a separate pedestrian entrance, while the person answering is inside the house and cannot clearly see the caller.

For a Sandhurst home, we may pair a video intercom at the main gate with indoor monitors in the rooms where calls are most likely to be answered. A GSM intercom can suit a gate where cabling back to the house is impractical, provided there is mobile signal and power. The pedestrian entrance can have its own electric lock, while tags, PIN codes or fingerprints operate the driveway gate without treating every arrival as a visitor.

The main issue for a Sandhurst household is keeping staff and service access manageable as people change. We give each regular user a separate credential rather than sharing one code or handing out untracked remotes. A former employee can then be removed without disrupting the family, and a contractor can receive temporary or scheduled access. Tyson plans the entrance and provides a written quote himself.

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 Sandhurst

Can the Sandhurst gate intercom ring more than one person?

Yes. A GSM intercom can ring registered phones, while many video systems accept extra indoor monitors. The right option depends on signal, cabling and where calls need to be answered.

We have just bought a Sandhurst home. Could old remotes and codes still work?

They may. We can inspect the receiver, clear old remotes and re-register only those you approve. Existing keypad codes and access users should also be replaced or removed.

If something on your intercom setup in Sandhurst 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 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.

    Nompumelelo D.
  • One Point installed a new intercom at our pedestrian entrance and linked it to the existing electric strike. We can now answer and release the gate from inside the house without any delay.
