Industry · Estates & body corporates

Estate security and visitor management that residents actually like.

POPIA-compliant visitor management, pre-authorised guest codes, contractor control, guard patrols, gate cameras monitored offsite and a proper IT backbone for the estate office.

For residential estates, HOAs, body corporates, retirement villages, golf estates and managing agents.

Estates, HOAs & Body Corporates

What we walk into — and what we leave behind.

The reality

Gate queues at 07:00. Visitor books nobody can read and POPIA says you shouldn't keep. Contractors on site with no record of who let them in. Guards you pay for but can't prove were patrolling. A managing agent asking for reports you can't produce.

How we solve it

Swiss VMS at the gate with ID/licence scanning and resident pre-authorisation. Swiss Guard for patrols and the OB. Swiss Core watching the perimeter and gate cameras from our control room. A monthly report the trustees can read.

Questions estates buyers ask us

Straight answers.

Is a paper visitor book legal under POPIA?

A shared paper book exposes every earlier visitor's personal information to the next one and has no retention control. Swiss VMS records only what's needed, hides it from other visitors and deletes it on schedule.

Can residents pre-authorise visitors?

Yes — from the app, WhatsApp or a web link. The guest gets a code or QR; the gate scans it and the resident is notified on arrival.

Does it work when the power goes?

Gate stations run on UPS-backed tablets with offline mode and sync when the link returns. We size the UPS for your load-shedding schedule.

Can you monitor our cameras at night?

Yes. Swiss Core in our Johannesburg control room does AI detection on your gate and perimeter cameras and dispatches your response provider on a verified event.

How does pricing work for an estate?

Per gate station for VMS, per guard for Swiss Guard and per camera for monitoring. Trustees get one monthly invoice and one support number.
