Beau Vie II

Enhancing Security and Convenience at Beau Vie II Student Accommodation with Paxton’s Access Control and Video Management Solution

Beau Vie II is a student apartment block located at Banghoek Road, Cape Town, South Africa. It opened in early 2024 and is only a 10-minute walk from the University of Stellenbosch, providing students with modern and convenient accommodation.

Patron Capital SA is responsible for the development of the high-quality student accommodation. They wanted a high-security, intuitive, and aesthetic access control and security solution. Patron worked with Remote Entry Systems, an experienced security installation company who specified Paxton’s product range.

Paxton, the international security technology company, designs and develops access control systems, video intercom products, IP cameras, and wireless door handles that are used all over the world.

Requirement

The requirements for the Beau Vie II building were clear from the beginning. Biometric readers were required to increase building security through verifying users via fingerprint or facial recognition. The site also required IP cameras to ensure real-time video access and footage capture, and an intercom system to allow ease of visitor access. Simple remote system management was also one of the top requirements.
