Astek Security & Automation: Secure your home effectively 

For the average South African homeowner, especially in areas like Paarl, Brackenfell, or Stellenbosch, property security is a priority due to high crime rates. Here's a list of essential and affordable components every homeowner should consider to secure their home effectively with the help of Astek Security & Automation:


1. Perimeter Security

  • Electric Fence: First line of defense. A working energizer and clear fence lines are essential.

  • Wall Spikes or Razor Wire: Additional deterrents for boundary walls.

2. Automated Gate & Garage Access

  • Gate Motor (Sliding or Swing): Keeps the gate closed and locked at all times.

  • Garage Door Motor: Prevents manual access to garages—common break-in points.

  • Remote Controls or Keypads: Secure entry for family and trusted visitors.

  • Beams or Motion Sensors: Ideal for garden or courtyard areas.

  • Panic Buttons: Wireless or fixed buttons for emergency response.

5. Intercom or Access Control

  • Audio or Video Intercom (Kocom/Commax): Speak to visitors before opening the gate.

  • Wireless Keypad or Tag Access: Manage staff or guest access without giving out remotes.
