Access control for how Durban sites work

Durban's sites have very different access problems within a short drive of each other. A container depot in Bayhead needs to know which vehicles came through the gate, a cold store needs each cold room door on record, and an office park on Umhlanga Ridge needs tenants and visitors to move through shared entrances without sharing cards.

Coastal sites also wear equipment faster, so outdoor readers, gate hardware and cabling are specified for salt air. We survey each site first, then choose the credentials and hardware to suit it.

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.

What access control costs in Durban

  • CCTV Security Surveillance installs commercial access control across Durban from our KwaZulu-Natal branch in Briardene, Durban North. We are a SAIDSA Grade A installer (ASP-1571) and PSIRA registered (4412150).

  • It depends on the number of doors and gates, the type of credential, the cabling and whether turnstiles or vehicle barriers are involved, so we quote after a site survey rather than from a price list.

  • We cover the Durban metro, including Umhlanga, Westville, Pinetown, Durban North and the South Durban basin, and the rest of KwaZulu-Natal from the same branch.

  • Usually, yes. We assess what you already have on site, then link door and gate events to your cameras so you can check who actually came through. If your existing equipment can't be integrated, we will tell you during the survey.
