Access control for Cape Town's mix of sites

Towers in the CBD, Foreshore and Century City need reception turnstiles and lift-lobby control that handle many tenants and visitors. Distribution centres in Montague Gardens and Bellville need vehicle control at the gate and tighter control on high-value stock rooms. Hotels and estates need access that protects staff zones without getting in the way of guests.

We survey the site first, then choose credentials to suit how people actually use it: cards, biometrics, facial recognition, mobile credentials or licence plate recognition.

How we install access control

  1. Step 1Survey the siteWe walk your doors, gates and restricted areas and look at how people and vehicles actually move through them.
  2. Step 2Choose the credentialsCards, fingerprint, facial recognition, mobile credentials or licence plate recognition, chosen door by door to suit the risk.
  3. Step 3Install and linkWe install the readers, controllers and barriers, and link door and gate events to your CCTV, alarms and payroll where needed.
  4. Step 4Support itOur branch team stays available for maintenance, and lost cards and leavers can be removed straight away, with no locks to change.
