Here's a sneak peak ...

Fundamentally, electronic access control systems are created around a number of core building blocks and industry standards. Once you understand how these fit into your building, you can begin to develop an overview that you can take to potential end-users.

A multi-family property will need to deliver intuitive ease-of-use, enabling residents to enjoy a great experience. This might be to allow them to access everything from an easy-to-use mobile app. It could be about being able to let in the dog walker while they’re at work. Or maybe it’ll mean enabling them to pick up packages from secure, intelligent self-service lockers.

Assisted living can be similar in some respects. Residents get packages and may have pets too. But these buildings may also demand increased control over who enters specific areas to ensure resident, staff, and visitor safety. And the ability to audit access logs will be a more important factor.

Mixed-use buildings often need to combine multiple capabilities. Retail and office tenants may want to allow their spaces to be locked and unlocked by an ever-changing team. You might want to control when shared spaces such as the gym are available. And you may want to allow residential users to access apartments, laundry facilities, parking garages, and other areas seamlessly with a single app or fob.
