Gatehouse & Control Room

Gatehouse & Control Room

A single point of control for your site — gatehouse officers managing access and visitors, backed by a control room that monitors, coordinates and responds.

The front door of your security operation

The gatehouse is where security begins — the first point of contact for staff, visitors, contractors and deliveries. Our gatehouse officers manage who enters your site, verify vehicles and visitors, and enforce your access procedures with a professional, firm-but-friendly presence.

Behind the gatehouse, a control room ties it all together. Operators monitor CCTV, answer alarms, coordinate patrols and manage incidents across your site — one central view of everything happening on your property.

Gatehouse and control room operations run on the SAF Group platform, so every vehicle, visitor and event is logged, verified and reported.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between gatehouse and control room?

The gatehouse manages access at the front line — vehicles, visitors and deliveries. The control room monitors cameras and alarms and coordinates response. We run both together as one integrated service.

Can you manage contractors and deliveries?

Yes. Contractors are inducted, signed in and tracked, and deliveries are logged and directed — with full records of who was on site and when.

Is the control room staffed around the clock?

Yes. Control room operators monitor your site 24/7, coordinating patrols, answering alarms and managing incidents as they happen.

How do I access the logs?

All registers and incident logs are available in real time through the client portal, with full search and export.
