Proactive Home Security Starts with Access Control

Managing a busy household with frequent visitors can be time-consuming. It can also result in less-than-stellar security. From dog walkers to cleaning staff and deliveries, controlling who gains access to your property is essential to your family’s safety and your home’s security. 

Enter the world of smart home access control. 

These systems provide robust security through remote monitoring and control capabilities. Keys that can be lost or stolen are a thing of the past. Now, everyone who is allowed entry uses a unique code or their fingerprint.

Suddenly, your home is much more secure, and you’ll always know when someone enters or leaves.

Here, we’ll explore the essential features of home access control and the benefits it brings to homeowners in Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area.

Enhanced Security

Smart door locks, along with video intercoms and door stations, elevate a home’s security through remote monitoring and proactive management. Video intercoms send a video clip and an alert that someone is at your front door. If it’s a delivery driver, you can speak to them through the two-way intercom, unlock the door no matter your location, and ask them to place the packages inside for safekeeping.

Undoubtedly, there are also areas inside your home that you consider off-limits. Adding access control to the interior of your home can keep these rooms secure and ensure you're notified when someone attempts entry.

Access control systems provide logs, enabling you to look back over who has entered and left your home and at what time. Do you have teenagers? Need we say more?

Extreme Convenience

From household staff to delivery personnel, friends of friends, and neighbors stopping by, a busy home can feel like it comes with a revolving front door. To provide easy access, you can employ keypads or biometric smart door locks. 

For frequent visitors, you can give them a unique entry code or, if using biometrics, set them up via fingerprint enrollment. Did an employee leave without notice? You can immediately remove them from the system.

Integrates with a Smart Home Ecosystem

Your home access control system integrates with your lighting and surveillance systems. When someone attempts entry without the correct code or biometrics, the entryway lights immediately flood the area, and the security cameras zoom in on the person. 

Are they traveling around your property? The cameras will follow them and let you know their location. Did they attempt entry? Red LED lights immediately start flashing, and a loud whistle lets them know they’ve been spotted.

No matter where you are, you’ll receive an alert and a video clip. If it’s someone you know, you can remotely unlock the door. If it’s a stranger, you can talk to them through the video intercom or the two-way audio on the security camera. If warranted, you receive a faster response time from law enforcement because the threat has been verified.
