    Alone

    I feel you, same here. How about starting a bucket list so you can kick it real hard when you're done. No regrets that way, and you probably won't even kick it anyway?

    Permanent Residency to Citizenship???

    I went down that road and it has taken extraordinarily long. Here is a short timeline summary: I received permanent residence in 2000 and started my citizenship enquiries with DHA in 2014 or so. Eventually got the application in at Pretoria in 2016 I think and after hundreds of calls, emails and...

    "Help me fix" aka DIY help needed thread

    There are commonly available garage door lubricants which are similar to the consistency of grease. Try those instead.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    This sounds like a plan. So each unit is responsible for ensuring sufficient tokens for their & their guest's access?

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    Thanks. Did you set it up yourself? I think they recently upgraded the comms to 4g with a Vodacom sim which is way faster and better than the previous one (think it was MTN). The idea is to avoid reprogramming remotes every so often but it seems this is unavoidable.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    Thank you, I'll dig a little deeper here. I think they currently do that but the problem is, we are a small complex and hence nobody is really manning things 24/7.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    Yea that's the unfortunate part. We have a crowd that provides local security in the area but I think they are limited.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    I think that erasing and reprogramming is what they are currently busy with. But its a headache to have to micromanage the process with each unit, particularly when something like this happens. The idea is to outlive the issue of misplaced, stolen or "rogue" remotes. Not sure about the Condo...

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    The guys managing the gate and cameras said they found out it was a cloned remote which has now been removed/revoked from the system. Why do you not like the biometrics option? Unfortunately we cannot control remotes or careless owners. We have cameras but perhaps need to add more.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    I think the effort, timeline and cost for this will outweigh the current needs. Definitely something for future. Thank you.

    Residential Complex Intercom/Security Upgrade

    We have a seemingly outdated intercom system at our residential complex. I think its branded "Comb" together with a Centurion swing gate motor system. Residents access is using remotes to enter and exit. Recently one of those remotes was apparently cloned and used to gain access to the complex...

    Recurring Debit Order

    Sounds like the only option. And not sign up with a-hole ISP's

    Recurring Debit Order

    Thanks. Did that but some debit orders don't have the dispute or stop buttons next to them.
