Contact Numbers: Postal Address: 011 658 1249 (office) Waterford Home Owners Association 011 658 1269 (fax) Postnet Suite #97 082 873 9297 (cell) Private Bag X033 duplesses@mweb.co.za Rivonia, 2128 SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL GUARD HOUSE - WEST 083 632 4712 GUARD HOUSE EAST 083 632 5399 1. Mircell access control system Each residence at Waterford Estate is linked to a Mircell system situated at the guardhouse. When a guest or delivery arrives, the guard shall phone you on the Mircell by pressing your stand number in order to announce your visitor. If you are not in, the visitor is advised and entry not permitted. Please note that if the guards get an answering machine or fax tone, permission will also not be granted. If you are having a party, please supply the guards with a list of the residents as this will speed up the access control. Each resident is allowed to programme 3 numbers on the Mircell system. The Mircell can be linked to your home land line and or cell phones. If your numbers are engaged the guards will try them 3 times. If we still cannot get hold of you your visitor/delivery will be turned away. 2. Remote Controls Residents enter Waterford Estate via the residents entrance using a remote control. The estate does not hold stock of these remotes and residents will need to purchase their own remotes at any security shop. They need to purchase a Centurion Super Nova (Blue) One (1) button remote. Once they are in possession of these remotes they need to hand them in at the Management office for programming. Programming of the remotes takes 48 hours. Residents should always use their remote controls. The guards are not able to open the resident s gate for a resident who does not have a remote control. This is a security breach. Should a resident forget their remotes the guards will request you to sign in and out as a visitor at the visitor s entrance. Should you leave the estate you will be requested to inform the management so that the remote control can be de-activated. Please advise the Estate Manager on 011-658 1249 if you have lost your remote or if it has been stolen so that it may be de-activated off the system immediately. 3. Collections and Deliveries Please note that the Security Officers have been instructed not to receive collections or deliveries. The Estate Management Company offers this service from their office during office hours; kindly make the necessary arrangements with them on 011 658 1249. 3
