Intercoms and access control in Savoy Estate

Around Athol Street and Scott Street, Savoy Estate’s freestanding homes and smaller complexes often have mature gardens and older entrance equipment. We assess, repair and update intercoms in Savoy Estate, working with existing gates and choosing practical connections where landscaping makes cabling difficult.

Intercoms and access for Savoy Estate's established properties with legacy systems

Savoy Estate is about 3 km south-east of Sandton City. Savoy Estate is an established residential suburb, featuring freestanding homes and smaller complexes. Properties here, especially along Athol Street and Scott Street, often have mature gardens and varied boundary walls. Many entrances feature existing, older intercom systems that may no longer be fully functional or secure. These varied perimeters and long-standing installations mean each gate has its quirks, requiring a suited approach for upgrades or repairs.

For Savoy Estate homes and complexes, we provide solutions integrating with existing structures to improve security and convenience. A video intercom lets residents see visitors before opening, useful where mature gardens might obscure the view. For gates with difficult cabling due to long driveways or landscaping, a GSM intercom can ring registered cellphones, offering flexibility. We make sure access control methods like tags or PIN codes are solid, easy to administer, and link smoothly with existing gate motors or pedestrian gate locks.

Many Savoy Estate properties have had multiple owners or residents, resulting in old gate remotes and forgotten access codes. For homeowners and trustees, managing who has access is important. We can clear old remotes from receivers, or remove individual tags and codes when someone moves out or a service provider's contract ends. This ensures only authorised individuals enter, simplifying community access management.

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 Savoy Estate

Our old intercom is failing; can it be repaired or does it need replacing?

We assess the existing system, including cabling and indoor units. Often, we can replace just the weathered outdoor gate station or upgrade specific components, rather than installing a completely new system.

We have old remotes that previous owners or staff might still have. How do we secure our gate?

We can clear all existing remotes from your gate motor's receiver and then re-register only the ones you approve. For new residents or staff, we can set up individual tags or codes that are easy to manage and remove.

What our intercom and access control customers say

  • We needed access control at a small residential estate with different permissions for residents, cleaners and maintenance teams. One Point configured each group separately and made management much simpler.

    Robyn M.
  • We needed temporary access for contractors working on site for two weeks. Tyson set up time-limited access codes so we didn't have to hand out permanent credentials.

    Grant R.
  • We wanted to stop handing out gate remotes to every contractor and delivery driver. Tyson installed an SMS access system that lets us open the gate remotely when needed without giving permanent access.
