For property and housing managers, we understand that property access is a priority. Managers need to ensure that their properties and multi-dwelling residences keep unwanted visitors out, but are easily accessible for residents. Plus, any access solution needs to deliver on ease-of-use and durability, as well as value for money. With so many requirements, it can seem an impossible task to find a solution.
At Intratone, we have more than 10 years’ experience in the housing industry and, from our ongoing conversations with housing professionals, we understand the challenges that property access can present. Here is what can be done to overcome them:
1. Is the property secure?
A constant source of concern for property and housing managers: is your property sufficiently secure? Is it providing ease of access to residents, guests and service providers, whilst keeping unwanted visitors out? Property access solutions should reassure you that your properties are safe and secure, by providing a robust, vandal-proof solution that harnesses the very latest technology.
As a property manager, it is also preferable to have a real-time overview of your property that can be accessed remotely. This allows you to easily keep an eye on the status of the building and all key fob users, for example, automatically alerting you if a copied key fob is used.
2. Will it keep my residents happy?
Property residents not only want their property access systems to be secure, they want hassle-free, easy to use and accessible technology. Ensuring property security shouldn’t mean that you compromise on any of these other qualities, but instead they should be offered as standard by your wireless door entry system provider.
Features that residents are looking for include a robust, long-lasting design, as well as technology like an integrated video camera so they can see guests before letting them enter, and the ability to control access via their mobile phones. Accessibility features like braille backlit keypads and hearing loops also ensure ease of use for both the deaf and partially sighted.
3. Can I save time?
A key consideration for every housing and property manager is how they can save time, in a way that doesn’t impact on the quality of service they provide. The best access control systems require minimum maintenance and can be installed quickly, allowing property managers to manage properties on-the-go or onsite. Providing access to service providers from your office, for example, also drastically reduces the amount of time spent onsite.
The challenges that property and housing managers face inspire Intratone to continue creating the pioneering property access technologies we are known for. Our state-of-the-art intercoms and supplementary solutions are all wireless and handset-free, while our sleek, user-friendly designs will satisfy all residents’ needs.
