Overview
Property management companies face unique security and operational challenges, such as ensuring the safety of tenants and visitors, protecting valuable assets, preventing theft or vandalism, and maintaining efficient day-to-day operations. Implementing advanced security solutions, such as Avigilon or Ava Video Surveillance and OpenPath Access Control, can provide comprehensive coverage, real-time monitoring, and robust access control to address these challenges and maintain a secure environment within managed properties.
Common Challenges
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance is essential for property management companies to monitor the premises, deter potential criminal activities, and provide crucial evidence in case of incidents. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining a secure environment, optimizing operational efficiency, and enhancing the overall safety of tenants and visitors.
Avigilon video surveillance offers tailored solutions for property management with high-resolution cameras that capture clear, detailed images. The advanced video analytics, including object recognition and unusual activity detection, assist in identifying potential threats, such as theft, vandalism, or suspicious behavior. The Avigilon Control Center (ACC) centralizes video management, allowing for easy monitoring of multiple locations and access to both live and recorded footage. Moreover, the system's scalability ensures it can adapt to the changing needs and requirements of property management companies.
Alternatively, Ava video surveillance focuses on cloud-based technology and artificial intelligence to provide advanced security solutions for property management. The cloud-based infrastructure offers numerous benefits, such as easy scalability, lower upfront costs, remote accessibility, and seamless software updates. With the Ava Aware intelligent video management system, property management companies can detect and analyze unusual activities, such as potential incidents involving tenants or visitors. This real-time information enables property managers to respond promptly and mitigate risks.
Leveraging machine learning, Ava video surveillance adapts to the property management environment, providing more accurate alerts and reducing false alarms. The system's compatibility with a variety of cameras and hardware ensures a flexible solution suitable for different facility layouts and sizes.

Access Control
Access control systems are crucial in property management to restrict access to sensitive areas, such as tenant units, maintenance areas, and administrative offices. Implementing robust access control measures not only protect valuable assets and safeguard sensitive information but also ensure a safe environment for tenants and visitors.
OpenPath Access Control offers a cloud-based system that is easily adaptable to the unique needs of property management companies. Its centralized management capabilities simplify the process of granting or revoking access rights, monitoring real-time activity, and generating detailed audit trails. The touchless, mobile-based access control minimizes the risk of unauthorized access by replacing traditional physical access cards with secure mobile authentication.
Multi-factor authentication options provided by OpenPath further enhance the security of managed properties by requiring users to present their mobile device along with a secondary form of identification, such as a PIN or biometric authentication. The system's ability to integrate with other security solutions, including video surveillance and alarm systems, creates a cohesive security ecosystem that provides comprehensive protection.
Customizable features specific to property management allow for tailored access levels and time-based access permissions, ensuring that personnel and tenants can access designated areas only during specified times. This level of control helps reduce the risk of unauthorized entry and contributes to a safer and more secure environment for tenants and visitors.
