In the first decade of the twenty-first century, cellphones brought computers into the hands of the general public. According to Pew Research, in 2020, 85 percent of Americans own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011. Every 10 minutes, the typical American checks their phone 96 times. UnikCCTV provides a variety of wireless mobile access control office intercom systems along with other security and surveillance systems.
Mobile Access Control
As the internet of things (IoT) develops, security organizations will need to find new methods to use smartphones to access facilities and systems. Due to this, mobile access control is in high demand. Mobile credentials for a wireless intercom system continue to challenge traditional technologies, obviating the need to carry around physical access cards. Residents in multi-tenant buildings can utilize a keyless entry app that uses NFC or BLE technology.
Here are three reasons why switching your multi-tenant wireless intercom system to mobile credentials is a good idea.
Enhanced Security
Key card scanners and badging technologies have a long history of well-documented flaws. Traditional access control techniques can result in costly breaches, from misplaced key fobs to cloned stolen badges. Mobile credentials provide an extra degree of security and protection.
To begin, most mobile phones require passcodes, fingerprints, or face IDs to unlock them, ensuring that they remain secure. Furthermore, apartment intercom manufacturers provide a two-factor authentication system that requires a user to have the right fingerprints before granting entry to the front door. The usage of cloud-based technologies to create one-time passcodes adds another degree of security.
Convenience
A front desk, doorman, and wired door/window intercom system may be required with traditional access methods. For tenants to feel safe and secure, outdated systems impose extra difficulties. For both tenants and property managers, mobile access credentials are more convenient.
With the growing COVID-19 epidemic, mobile authentication enables contactless entrance. By tapping a button on their phone app, residents may unlock a door without having to touch it. Remote unlocking is also possible with smartphones. Tenants can receive a call from a guest at the door entry terminal and visually check their identification before giving them admission.
Using the wireless intercom system, property managers may send out emergency warnings to tenants. It is also simpler to provide and cancel resident credentials via their admin panel.
Cost-effective
Apartment building intercom systems aren't cheap. The cost of a modern intercom appears to range from $1500 to $6000. The cost of adding more connections and wires may quickly add up. It's easier and less expensive to keep track of mobile credentials.
Most cloud-based mobile access control solutions eliminate the need to purchase, issue, and replace cards for your multi-tenant residences. You also get rid of the requirement for front door access management servers on your premises.
Property managers might need to discover new access control for their wireless intercom system as more Americans obtain smartphones and other mobile devices. More security, convenience, and cost savings are all available to you. Contact UnikCCTV to discuss your apartment's mobile credentials!
