Security for body corporates and shared buildings

Shared security that works fairly for every resident and tenant. We design shared security for residential and mixed-use buildings that is easy to manage, easy to audit and fair for all stakeholders.

Security for common property

In apartment and mixed-use buildings, entry doors, car parks, lifts and bike stores are shared, and so is the cost. Body corporate committees and building managers need systems that are simple to run, fair to everyone and easy to explain at the AGM.

  • Resident access. Fobs, cards or phone credentials for entries, car park gates and lifts, issued and cancelled centrally when residents move in or out.
  • Intercoms. Video intercom panels at the lobby and gate, with each apartment answering on a screen or app and releasing the door. See our guide to apartment and building intercoms.
  • Shared CCTV. Cameras on entries, car parks and common areas, with clear rules on who can view and export footage, in line with the Privacy Act.
  • Car park gates. Gate and door automation tied into resident credentials.
  • Clear audit trails. Logs of who accessed which door and when, so incidents and disputes can be checked fairly.

Easy to manage, easy to hand over

Committees and building managers change. Our as-built documentation and admin records mean whoever takes over knows what is installed and how to run it. A maintenance plan keeps shared systems working and helps the body corporate plan replacement costs ahead.

Common questions

Can we upgrade the intercom without rewiring the building?
Often, yes. Some intercom systems run over existing two-wire cabling, which keeps an upgrade in an older building simple. We check the cabling on site before recommending an option.
Who can view the shared CCTV?
That should be set by the body corporate. We set up user accounts and permissions so only authorised people can view or export footage, and help you document a simple CCTV policy.
