Apartments concentrate many households behind a few shared doors: the lobby, the parking entrance, the lifts and the stairwells. Security is about controlling those shared points without making daily life slow.

Apartment complexes are one of the property types covered by Qyvea's [estate & residential security](https://qyvea.co.ke/estate-solutions#property-types).

## Security by area

| Area | Typical systems |
| --- | --- |
| Parking entrance | Boom barrier, ANPR or tags, CCTV |
| Lobby | Access control, video intercom to each unit, CCTV |
| Lifts | Floor access control so residents only reach their own floor (where the lift supports it) |
| Stairwells & corridors | CCTV, emergency lighting, fire detection |
| Common areas | CCTV at the pool, gym, playground and rooftop |
| Perimeter | Electric fence or wall-top protection, lighting |

## Visitors in an apartment block

Video intercom lets residents see and speak to a visitor at the lobby and open the door from their unit or phone. Deliveries can be limited to the lobby or concierge desk.

## Life safety and power

- Fire alarm detection in corridors and common areas
- Emergency lighting on escape routes
- Access doors on escape routes that release in an emergency
- Backup power for access control, intercom and CCTV

FAQ

## Common Questions

Can residents open the lobby door from their phone?

With an IP video intercom that supports mobile answering, yes.

Can we restrict lifts to a resident's own floor?

Often, where the lift controller supports integration with access control. This is checked with the lift provider.

Do fire exits conflict with access control?

They shouldn't: doors on escape routes are designed to release in an emergency.
