Property and resident security are largely the responsibility of the multihousing facility owner, and all options for access control must be evaluated properly, according to a newly-released white paper from Kaba. Look Before You Leap: Three Essential Questions to Ask as Multihousing Professionals Evaluate Mobile Access Locking Systems describes what owners and managers must consider when evaluating whether mobile access technology provides a benefit to their operations.
As a leading supplier of locking systems to the multihousing industry for more than 20 years, Kaba locks utilize a cloud based mobile access system and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to deliver a safe, seamless and secure property-wide tenant experience. Kaba provides the Saflok and Ilco brands of electronic locks.
The white paper explains what is driving the fast adoption of mobile access technology and provides details of what a secure infrastructure means and steps needed to get there.
“The goal of our white paper is to help owners and managers make an informed business decision,” said Dale Mathias, Kaba vice president of multihousing sales. “Mobile access is still an emerging technology. The publicity buzz often omits the most important consideration: tenant and property security. This requires mobile access door locks backed by a well-designed infrastructure. The white paper explains what this means and highlights the main areas to assess for mobile access readiness.”
The white paper outlines a three-step evaluation process:
- Security – what options help to ensure the system provides adequate protection?
- Safety – how to provide a safe living environment for all residents?
- Liability – how to reduce liability concerns with a mobile access system?
