What Does an Access Control System Include?

• Maglocks, strike locks, and electromechanical relays.
• Entry/exit buttons, intercoms, and video monitoring add-ons.
• Integration accessories: backup power, cables, and enclosures.

Our selection covers both simple single-door solutions and advanced, multi-point installations-with kits for residential, commercial, campus, or manufacturing access.

Choose from Trusted Global & Local Brands

Communica stocks access control equipment from reliable brands such as ZKTeco, Risco, Paradox, Hikvision, Seco-Larm, and more. You can mix and match controllers, readers, relays, and peripherals to achieve seamless compatibility for most popular install environments in South Africa.

Finding the Right Access Control Solution

When selecting your system, consider these factors to optimise for your needs:

• No. of access points: Are you managing a single entry, or is a multi-door campus solution required?
• Authentication Method: PIN, tag/fob, biometric, or multi-factor?
• Connectivity: Standalone, RS485, IP networking for remote management?
• Integration: Does it need to connect with time-and-attendance, CCTV, or alarm systems?
• Power Failure Backup: Battery/power redundancy for uninterrupted operation?
• Environmental factors: Indoor vs. outdoor, vandal-resistant options, SA power and weather compatibility.

Specification Highlights & Accessory Guidance

All major systems are designed for compatibility with standard maglocks, strike-locks, push-to-exit buttons, backup batteries, and weatherproof enclosures-find these as part of bundled kits or as separate accessories at Communica.
