More than just an intercom...
Security is on everyone’s mind today and that always means placing some restrictions
on who can enter a building. Your customers will most likely be letting in the majority of
people who arrive at their door. But you wouldn’t know that from reading the ads in
security magazines. Those ads tell you to install a high-tech system for every door
entry/access application.
In most residential and business applications, the callers at the doors are most likely to
be clients, friends, a delivery driver, or the dreaded door-to-door solicitor. Your
customers want a system that allows them to screen visitors and open doors and gates
with minimum intrusion into their daily lives and business operations.
So, how do you select a door entry/access system that provides the proper level of
security for your kind of customer? Read this guide. It’s designed to help you understand
the terminology, system design, installation practices, and available options for
residential and small business door entry and access systems.
