  2. Prevents unauthorized duplication of facility keys and/or alarm code.

  5. Allows selective authorization of system users to activate and deactivate intrusion detection system.

Keyless entry for your business Improvement in overall security.

  2. Increases protection for employees by preventing entry of non-authorized personnel. Automatically locks controlled doors according to predetermined time schedule

 Convenient, simple operation.

  1. Reduces user-caused false alarms (and simplifies operation for infrequent users) by combining entry and alarm deactivation in one process.
  2. Eliminates confusion and inconvenience associated with using keypad to interface with intrusion detection system.
  3. Eliminates need to track and replace mechanical keys by using electronic “keys”. Eliminates inconvenience of maintaining data for an on-site proprietary access control system computer.
  4. Allows a single source vendor, rather than multiple, interacting vendors.

 Significant value in return for expense.

  1. Reduces potential for internal theft (inventory, property, office facilities or time) or vandalism.
  2. Provides additional level of protection (and management peace of mind) for “negligent security” liability lawsuits.
  3. Saves expense and annoyance of periodically re -keying facility locks.
  4. Allows elimination of reassignment of personnel dedicated to supervising facility access (e.g. guards and/or full time receptionist).
