Security Features of Modern Garage Systems
When it comes to your car, security should never be left on the back seat. Car crime is undoubtedly on the rise, but garages also present an easy entry point for burglars looking to enter a property, too. Keypad manufacturers have had to keep up the pace as a result. Implementing sufficient security technology is no longer a choice; it’s a necessity. In this article, we investigate some of the new security features implemented in modern garages to help keep your building’s vehicles safe and secure.
Motion sensors
Motion sensors are quickly becoming a popular choice among property managers looking to add an extra tight level of security to their garages or parking areas, and for good reason, too. Motion sensors on garage doors are particularly efficient from a sustainability and staffing perspective, and recent technological advances have made them much more reliable. On top of that, many of these new motion sensors are wireless and easily integrated into a wider security ecosystem.
Motion sensors that ring an alarm when triggered are also a common choice among managers. Useful during the darker hours, motion sensors are becoming increasingly accurate and could make the difference between intrusion and incursion, especially those that now send off notifications to connected phones.
Key cabinets
Key cabinets have been a staple of any secure garage worth its salt for decades, but these days they’re a little more advanced. At Intratone, we offer three types of easy-to-use key management solutions.
The key safe
This key safe holds over 500 keys and helps keep all your property’s keys tightly secured. Installation is refreshingly straightforward, and you can access the safe remotely through our online platform and electronic key rings (as with each of the other options on this list).
The key safe with proximity reader
The proximity reader key safe delivers all the attributes of the standard key safe, with the addition of a user-friendly proximity reader, compatible with a whole host of key fobs. This makes access much easier for users, as well as allowing for extensive tracking of keys. 0% hassle, 100% secure.
The key cabinet
With a modern design, the key cabinet is intuitive, wireless and stylish. You can gather a real-time overview of all your property’s keys thanks to our online remote management software, as well as easy access with the use of electronic keys.
Ultimately, efficient and effective key management is the key to a secure garage.
Intercom systems
Intercom systems are yet another valuable asset for any property manager looking to tighten garage security. Unlike older systems, new technology has quickened the rise of wireless intercoms, enabling the remote management of multiple buildings. This flexibility isn’t just easier – it’s more secure too.
Our DDA-compliant direct dial intercom is a fantastic example. Fortified with strong, robust materials and the ability to manage up to 10,000 key fobs, it’s perfect for both tenants, workers and property managers.
Conclusion
Fortifying the garage should always be high on the priority list when assessing a building’s security credentials. If you’re questioning the level of garage security on your premises, Intratone has the answers. Our security technology is trusted by hundreds of businesses across the UK, ensuring not only the safety of their vehicles, but entire buildings too.
