Who’s Allowed Where—and When

Using door and window locks to control access to your home from the outside is a time-honored safety practice. When combined with door and window sensors and an alarm system, they form the basis of an Intrusion Control system.

Similar technologies can be used inside the home to limit access to sensitive areas—such as medicine cabinets, jewelry storage, liquor cabinets, wine cellars, and firearms closets. When combined with remote monitoring, it becomes an Access Control system.

Limiting access to sensitive areas deters theft and keeps people—especially children—safe. Combining them with surveillance cameras makes these systems even more powerful. Together, they can provide an indispensable foundation for your everyday comfort—and security.

Such systems can be custom-tailored to household occupants and contents, then controlled locally via a wall-mounted control panel—or remotely with a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Here are some everyday examples of controlling access while away from your home:

  • Let the housecleaner into a locked closet for supplies.
  • Provide Sis with access to Mom’s necklace, which is located in a locked jewelry cabinet.
  • Receive an alert if an aging parent tries to get into the liquor or gun cabinet.
  • Give the plumber access to the basement to fix a leak that is reported to your smartphone by your home monitoring system, while you’re out of town.

A unique access code can be added for each approved user. Then, event recorders and security cameras can keep track of exactly who gained—or attempted to gain—access to which part of your home—and when.

Access controls helps keep your family safe and your home and personal property secure. When combined with Intrusion Control and Security Cameras, it provides complete in-home protection—so you can relax while you’re away.
