Preamble:
a multiuser, multi (door) location security/lock system to let the right factions of 200 some folks into and out of various parts of KVMR who can easily be added and removed.
And not cost a Fortune. But if that’s Necessary?… Budget Time- My Reserch has been pretty fruitless unless money is NO object.
I can review whatever folk find in a ‘research APB’ goes out
Wanted:
- Bluetooth (no contact) programming. USB way to error-prone
- Even Better– IF POSSIBLE- WiFi Programming to remotely add/remove/admit people, like a RING (No cannot use that! : ))
- NO external other programs than the App on the Tablet.
Database should be ON the tablet or phone - Designated Backup People should be around to help out.
- Existing RFID cards & fobs are a good idea, and are non-proprietary. Continue using them!
- PIN numbers are unacceptable and insecure-they will be ‘handed out’ in NO time. No Bueno!
Ideally lock would not even have those Buttons. - Auditing- a log of who is coming and going- can decrease insurance
- Mainstream manufacturer with track record and reasonable Support. My time with Shlage showed they were responsive but not well informed or that helpful (Old System?)
- Support Contract? Why Not. & I don;t mind learning it-
But I am not always Here. - BUY SPARES in case of Fails. I had to cannibalise 3 Schlage locks to get 3 working!
- PRIORITY: ASAP as people will Start Getting Locked Out At Odd Hours….
