Intercoms and access for Sandown's diverse properties and active entrances

Sandown is about 2 km north-east of Sandton City. Sandown's blend of affluent residential properties, from apartments and townhouses to freestanding homes, alongside a major commercial hub, presents diverse entrance needs. Many properties are close to the Sandton business district, with shared perimeters along busy roads like Katherine Street and Rivonia Road. This means varied boundary walls, from modern plastered designs in newer complexes like Balgowan Estate to older precast sections around established homes, all seeing frequent visitor and service traffic.

For these varied entrances, we assess the optimal intercom solution. A video intercom allows visual screening of visitors before entry, suitable for freestanding homes and businesses. For larger complexes or estates like Madison Palms East, a GSM intercom can forward calls to residents' mobile phones, making sure they can screen visitors even when not at home, provided mobile signal is present at the gate. We integrate these systems with existing gate motors or electric locks.

A important aspect for Sandown's homeowners, trustees, and business owners is managing access for a dynamic group of residents, staff, and contractors. We move beyond outdated remote controls by implementing systems using individual tags, keypad codes, or biometric readers. This allows precise control, enabling specific users to be added or removed instantly. This ensures only authorised individuals can come and go, important for maintaining security in this active area.

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 Sandown

Can we control who comes and goes without handing out physical remotes?

Yes. We can install systems that use individual keypad codes, access tags, or fingerprint readers, allowing you to add or remove specific users without affecting others.

Our Sandown complex has an old intercom system. Can you upgrade it?

We often repair or upgrade existing intercoms and access systems, even if we did not install them. We assess the current setup and advise on the most cost-effective improvements.

What our intercom and access control customers say

  • We needed an access system that could handle staff, cleaners and contractors differently. Tyson set up individual profiles with separate permissions instead of putting everyone on one code.

  • Our old access setup had a mixture of tags, keys and shared PINs with no proper control. Tyson and the One Point team consolidated everything into a managed system with individual users, visitor access and remote gate control.

  • One Point installed an intercom between our reception desk and security gate so visitors can be screened properly before entry. The installation was very tidy.
