Hi there,
The use of electronic credentials with residents for access is the biggest trend we’re seeing in the security industry today for mid and high rise buildings with a common corridor. Using electronic credentials are a more convenient and cost effective way to manage access control, and they help provide a customized experience for each resident. For example, designated parking, elevator and floor access can all be customized to a resident’s smart card, which delivers higher security and convenience at a lower price point than managing mechanical keys.
In terms of granting admission to visiting guests, mobile distribution is a popular trend right now as it provides added convenience to residents. Before a resident’s guest arrives, they are able to remotely provide limited access to specific exterior and tenant doors via email and/or text.
