Smarter security with automated visitor management

SMART Estate Security 2025 Access Control & Identity Management, Residential Estate (Industry), Products & Solutions

Managing visitors has traditionally been a manual and time-consuming process, often placing heavy demands on security guards and reception staff. Automated visitor management solutions, like LD Access, are transforming this process by reducing human workload, while enhancing security and efficiency.

The Mobile Scanning Terminal brings flexibility and mobility to visitor control. With the ability to instantly scan South African driver’s licences, ID cards, and vehicle licence discs, this handheld device captures visitor data in seconds. Linked with Wi-Fi trigger devices, it can automatically manage access barriers such as booms, turnstiles, and gates. Cloud connectivity ensures administrators can access and manage visitor records securely from any web browser, with no additional apps required. This empowers guards to focus on exceptions or potential risks, rather than routine entry tasks.

For high-traffic environments, the Self-Service Visitor Scanning Kiosk offers a fully automated solution. Visitors simply scan their ID or driver’s license to gain access, minimising queues and ensuring a smooth flow of people. Seamless integration with existing systems means no disruption to established access control infrastructure. Smart features, such as automatic access barrier activation and the Host Follow function, ensure that visitors can safely and easily follow their host’s route within the premises.

By automating repetitive processes, these solutions free up security personnel to intervene only when necessary, reducing fatigue and increasing vigilance. The result is faster entry, greater accuracy, and stronger security, all powered by the cloud.
