• The main advantage of access control is exactly what the name implies. You can control who has access to the building, and when they are able to access it.
  • You can control who has access to different locations within the building. For instance, if your office is on multiple floors, but only the executives have access to the top floor, you can create separate profiles to restrict access.
  • You can monitor attendance by having your employees swipe in and out at the beginning and end of their shifts.
  • You can have doors lock/unlock automatically at a predetermined time.
  • You can have alarms and alerts if a door is forced open.
  • The main advantage will always be controlling who has access to the property and when.
  • Intercom systems can let your tenants verify the identity of their guests and let them in remotely.
  • Set timers so that doors will only unlock during certain times, for example locking down the laundry room after hours.
  • Control which floor or area each tenant has access to.

  • The biggest advantage would be that is can deter criminals and other unwanted guests from trying to gain access to your property. While not 100% (nothing is), signs of cameras will make anyone think twice before unauthorized access.
  • Some insurance companies offer discounts if you have extra security measures, such as cameras.
  • Some cameras will come with a local hard drive that you can keep on site and pull up past footage. With minor upgrades those systems can be monitored and stored remotely.
  • Systems are capable of detecting motion and sending alerts if motion is detected. Schedules can even be set, so that if only sends alerts during certain time periods.
  • When combined with an access control system or alarm system, can provide even more security and customization.
