Izinga Estate is a high-end residential estate comprised of four separate gated communities, located just north of uMhlanga Ridge in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Designed for discerning buyers that are looking for luxurious coastal living combined with the tranquillity of coastal life, Izinga Estate has become one of the most sought-after residential investments in the region. The estate is characterised by wide open spaces, walkways and indigenous landscaping, and is conveniently located close to a bustling hub. As one would expect the estate is managed by an active management association and a fully integrated security management system.

The requirement was to work with the consultants and integrator to design a solution to ensure the safety and security of both residents and staff of the estate, and improve the operational processes of the site. The solution therefore required a fully integrated video management system that would successfully support the surveillance and third-party security systems for the entire estate. The video management system had to demonstrate a powerful and efficient ability to allow for exceptional control room monitoring and reaction and prove its efficiency in the harshest climatic environments. The estate security system presents a number of challenges including multiple entry and exit points, as well as a vast perimeter and the typography of the site.
