Smart automation is changing security

Security has come a long way from manual check-ins, logbooks, and standalone surveillance cameras. With the rise of intelligent automation, security is now faster, smarter, and more connected than ever.

So, what does this entail? It signifies that security is no longer operating in isolation. Instead, it is evolving into an integral component of a comprehensive system that links visitor management, building security, facilities management, and IoT devices. Solutions like VisitMe are at the forefront of unifying these elements, resulting in a seamless, automated, and fully customisable security experience.

How does smart automation improve security?

Imagine this: A contractor arrives at a manufacturing site for a scheduled visit. In the past, they would have to sign in manually, wait for verification, and go through a long approval process before being allowed access.

Now, with smart automation, everything is done instantly. VisitMe can verify induction status, check compliance records, and grant access – all within seconds. There are no delays, no unnecessary paperwork, and no risk of unauthorised entry.

The key benefits of intelligent automation in security include:

• Seamless access control: Integrated security systems allow businesses to control who enters their premises automatically, reducing the need for manual intervention.

• Real-time security monitoring: Smart access control solutions like VisitMe, along with CCTV, biometric scanners, and IoT devices, ensure real-time oversight and alerts for potential security threats.

• Smarter compliance and audit trails: For industries like logistics, mining, and office parks, automation ensures that only authorised personnel with valid credentials can enter specific areas, making compliance easy and trackable.

With intelligent automation, security is no longer just about keeping intruders out; it is about streamlining access, improving efficiency, and making security smarter. With customisable solutions like VisitMe, businesses can build a security system that fits their needs.

IntelliGuard keypad solution

IntelliGuard’s Keypad Solution is a locally developed innovation designed to make visitor access faster, easier, and more secure. This cutting-edge solution empowers residents to grant access in seconds, all while ensuring complete control and peace of mind. With the keypad, residents no longer rely on security guards or manual sign-ins. The system features a keypad installed at entry and exit gates, working seamlessly with the IntelliGuard Mobile App.

This powerful combination allows residents to provide access using:

Rolling QR codes: Residents can generate a QR code on the app and share it with visitors. Upon arrival, they scan the code on the keypad, and the gate opens instantly.

Secure PIN codes: To ensure quick and safe deliveries, residents generate a temporary PIN code in the app and share it with the driver. They enter the code on the keypad, drop off the package, and leave without needing to call anyone.

Digital gate remotes: Instead of generating individual QR codes or PINs, residents can open the gate remotely using an app as they arrive. Every entry requires an exit scan, ensuring that no one can remain onsite without a valid QR code or PIN, enhancing overall security.
