Access Control
Access Control for Estates and Residential Complexes
Guidance only. Verify any statutory or insurer requirement against current official South African sources. CapeCore does not publish unverified legal claims.
Two flows: residents and visitors
Residents want a fast tag or remote. Visitors need a process that the guard or the app can finish without a queue into the road. Mixing both on one keypad is how tailgating starts.
Vehicle and pedestrian are different doors
A sliding gate with a loop detector is not a pedestrian solution. Give walkers a separate gate with a reader, or they will slip through the vehicle opening. CCTV should see both.
Who administers tags
Trustees or an estate manager must be able to add and remove residents. A system that only the original installer can enrol is a future problem. Keep a written process for tenants who move out.
CapeCore works from the entrance outward
Gate motors, fencing, CCTV and credentials are specified together for complexes. Call 021 755 1648 for a site assessment from Parow Industrial.
