Howard’s End

Residents Benefit from Simple and Safe Security with Paxton

Requirement
Howard’s End is a residential housing estate based in Hillcrest on the outskirts of Durban, South Africa. Security solutions provider, Fidelity Security chose Paxton’s flagship access control system to replace the sites’ old intercom that required updating due to the residents need for increased perimeter security.

 

Entry was very simple to specify, quote and install. It’s a fantastic product, sales and support team in South Africa which makes things really easy

Solution

Entry, Paxton’s networked door entry system, was chosen for its quality, simplicity and industry-leading technical support. The system features an Entry panel with a stainless steel rain shield and high-quality audio/visual monitor for use inside the home

Result

Eleven households were secured with two Entry panels at the front gates, with one Entry monitor on each household so that residents can identify guests before granting them access to the communal grounds.

Brett van den Berg, Fidelity Security installer, says: ‘Entry was very simple to specify, quote and install. It’s a fantastic product, sales and support team in South Africa which makes things really easy.’

Howard’s End resident Lee Storm says: ‘The existing security needed to be upgraded. We wanted a system that could secure multiple buildings. Entry is really easy to learn and I feel very confident using it.’

All residents are now protected by the Entry system. Howard’s End residents have a system that is easy to use, providing a safe and secure home environment for them and their property.’
