Vingcard
Intelligent use of electronic locking has helped to revolutionise the way buildings are secured and this has had a knock-on effect to how they are designed. If the layout of a building has been designed to take into account the features and functionality that electronic locking and smartcard technology can deliver, it can mean the difference between a friendly, accessible, yet secure place – and a building that is difficult to use and administer, with highly visible and inhospitable security.
Electronic locking is now used throughout the hospitality industry and offers excellent levels of security with maximum user friendliness. This makes it an ideal solution for other residential situations such as student halls of residence, elderly peoples’ accommodation, indeed anywhere where security needs to be convenient and discreet.
Low cost keycards can be given to guests, whilst staff can use long lasting cards programmed for their specific access needs and VIPs can be offered wristbands, keyfobs or mobile phones with the technology to offer remote control. Keycards not only unlock doors – they can give access to parking and other facilities, be used to pay for drinks at the bar, and in wider contexts, for libraries, booking meeting rooms etc.
What’s great about this system is that as the technology develops, so can the system, without disrupting operations or guest comfort.
And whilst most users may enjoy electronic keycards because they’re quick and easy to use, from a facility manager’s viewpoint, they also offer excellent audit trails, information on low batteries and cylinder tamper alarms.
