Access Control That Actually Works for Your Estate

Visitor Management. Reimagined.

Pre-registered visitors. Push notification approvals with photos. Full audit trails. No phone calls. No paper logbooks. No hardware replacement.

What Estate Security Looks Like Today

Expensive Phone Calls

Traditional intercom systems charge per call. Estates with regular visitors spend R500-1,500/month on airtime alone. That money could go toward actual security improvements.

Paper Logbooks Nobody Checks

Visitors sign a book at the gate. Names are illegible. Times are approximate. If something goes wrong, that logbook is useless as an audit trail.

Hardware Lock-in

Your current provider sold you proprietary hardware. Want to switch? Replace everything. Want to upgrade? Pay again. The system serves the vendor, not the estate.

From Gate to Dashboard in Five Steps

1

Resident Pre-Registers a Visitor

Through the app or WhatsApp. The visitor receives a QR code or PIN automatically.

2

Visitor Arrives at Gate

Guard scans the QR code or the visitor provides their PIN. The system captures a photo automatically.

3

Resident Gets Notified

Push notification with visitor photo, name, and arrival time. Approve or decline from your phone. No phone call. No airtime cost.

4

Access Logged

Every entry and exit recorded with timestamp, photo, and approval details. Full audit trail available to estate managers.

5

Manager Dashboard

Real-time visibility into who is on the estate, visitor patterns, security events, and compliance reports. Export to PDF for trustee meetings.
