Most people who pass through an estate gate don't come by car: domestic workers, staff, contractors, visitors and residents on foot. A vehicle-focused system can leave the pedestrian gate as the weakest point.
Pedestrian security is covered in Qyvea's estate security solutions.
| Who | Typical credential |
|---|---|
| Residents | Biometric (fingerprint/face) or card |
| Domestic workers | Biometric with a weekday schedule |
| Contractors | Temporary card or PIN valid for the job |
| Visitors | QR / temporary PIN, or intercom verification |
| Children | Card, with CCTV coverage at the pedestrian gate |
| Staff | Biometric, which can double as attendance |
| Service providers | Scheduled temporary credential |
A video door station at the pedestrian gate or lobby lets residents see and speak to a visitor before opening. With an IP intercom that supports mobile answering, residents can respond from their phones.
See the Hikvision intercom kit and intercom installation.
With a video intercom that supports mobile answering, yes.
Many estates use fingerprint or face access with a schedule, so there are no cards to lend or lose.
Readers and locks should be on backup power, with an emergency release procedure.
