Electronic access
control provides the most
efficient and convenient
way of securing your
building and assets."
Thus, residents of Renishaw Hills estate are able to enjoy the
peacefulness and splendour of their country-style living, without
worrying about the threat of security-related incidents. ‘Effective
security measures have played a role in the increased value of the
properties on the mid-South Coast. Various new infrastructure
development projects are continually added to the area,’ says Van
der Linde.
One of the gold standards of modern security is biometric access,
a highly effective method of verifying someone’s identity via a
fingerprint scanner. ‘Electronic access control provides the most
efficient and convenient way of securing your building and assets.
It means that you will never have to change a lock again,’ says
Van der Linde. As such, effective biometric access is becoming
increasingly prevalent at South Africa’s estates and developments,
overtaking the traditional signing in process at the gate. Access-
control systems offer you all the relevant reports needed from
Licence Plate Capture to ‘Who’s in’ on the estate.
Security products are not enough on their own, however. Van der
Linde says the mark of a good security system is how seamlessly
it is integrated and operated by its staff. ‘We have in-depth, up-
to-date knowledge of the latest products on the market, but they
are still solely reliant on the integrator’s training, knowledge and
work ethic,’ he says.
To this end, JNCS Beyond Security staff are trained by Axis
Communications, a global leader in the surveillance camera
industry. ‘We also have personal, long-term partnerships with
all our suppliers, from one-person operations to distribution
partners and major global conglomerates. Security providers
have to partner with the right service providers to deliver the
expertise required to put forward the right and most complete
security solution,’ he says.
Within the context of estates, this is a high priority. ‘With the
current economic climate in South Africa, peace of mind and
secure living is of the utmost importance, especially within the
context of estates,’ says Van der Linde.
