Property management agencies, condominium administrators and building owners: Activ’Sécurité installs, upgrades and maintains video door entry and access control systems for rental buildings and condominiums throughout French-speaking Switzerland. Reliable systems for tenants, and easy for the agency to manage.
A modern video door entry system for every building entrance
We install robust street panels, designed for heavy use and all weather, which combine in a single unit:
- Wide-angle camera with night vision, so every tenant can see who is ringing.
- Backlit code keypad with braille markings, for accessibility for all residents.
- Badge reader for keyless entry, with badges assigned to each tenant.
- Call to an indoor monitor or smartphone: the tenant answers and opens the door from their apartment or remotely.
- Careful finishes: flush or surface-mounted panel, frame and plate matched to the façade and existing letterboxes.
Benefits for property managers
- Remote management: add or remove names, codes and badges without travelling, for example when a tenant changes.
- Lost badge? It is deactivated immediately: no need to change locks or recut keys for the whole building.
- Service provider access: caretaker, cleaning, gardener, maintenance companies, delivery drivers: codes or badges restricted to certain days and times.
- Fewer complaints: a reliable system that is easy for tenants to use, and a single point of contact for your entire property portfolio.
- Added value for the building: a modern, secure entrance is a selling point for letting and sale.
Upgrading old intercoms
Many buildings still have ageing audio intercoms that are hard to repair. We assess the existing installation and propose the most economical solution: depending on the existing wiring, it is often possible to switch to video door entry without major work in the apartments. The upgrade can be carried out building by building, at the pace of your maintenance budget.
Completing the security of common areas
- Access control for the garage, bike room, laundry room and cellars.
- CCTV of entrances and car parks, set up in compliance with data protection law (FADP): masking zones, limited retention period, information signs.
- Radio and wifi links to connect several buildings in the same estate.
An installation organised with you
- Visit of the building with the property manager or caretaker, and survey of the existing installation.
- Detailed offer per building, with options and schedule.
- Tenant information and coordination of apartment access with the caretaker.
- Installation by our own technicians, commissioning and programming of names and badges.
- Training for the caretaker or property manager, followed by maintenance and fast repairs.
Maintenance contract for your property portfolio
We offer maintenance contracts covering several buildings: regular checks, updates, replacement of wear parts and priority repairs. Since 1990, Activ’Sécurité has looked after its installations with the same team, from its offices in Troistorrents and Aigle.
Frequently asked questions from property managers
Does all the building’s wiring need to be replaced?
Not necessarily. Depending on the existing installation, the current wiring can often be reused. We check this during the free visit.
Can tenants without a smartphone answer?
Yes. Each apartment can have an indoor monitor; the smartphone app is an additional option.
Who manages names and badges after installation?
Your choice: the property manager, the caretaker or our team. Management can be done remotely.
How long does installation take?
It depends on the size of the building and the condition of the wiring; we give you a precise schedule in the offer and keep disruption for tenants to a minimum.
Do you work on several buildings at once?
Yes, we are happy to provide a combined offer for all or part of your portfolio, with a single maintenance contract.
