If you need information, do you still go to an encyclopedia? If you need directions somewhere, are you using a printed map? Didn’t think so.
You use the internet for quick information and GPS to get from point A to point B. So is the usage of keys becoming outdated. Let’s examine how keyless entry solutions are revolutionizing how homeowners secure their homes and owners secure their businesses.
Keyless entry systems replace the need for physical keys by using digital control to grant access. These solutions rely on a combination of technologies to authorize and grant entry including:
- PIN codes
- Key cards,
- Biometrics
- Mobile apps
Traditional locks and keys come with risks and inconveniences. Many of us have been locked out of our house or lost a key to a safe place. In the 1990s fobs were introduced for cars and now most vehicles utilize a fob for both entrance and starting the vehicle. Now homes and offices are starting to adopt keyless entry to increase security and access control.
Advantages of Keyless Entry Systems
1. Improved Security
Let’s just say keyless entry systems can’t be picked or replicated like a traditional key and lock system. These innovative systems provide advanced security measures like encrypted access, multi-factor authentication, and real-time monitoring.
2. Convenience
No more looking like a dungeon master carrying so many keys that you forget which key is for which lock. With keyless entry, access can be granted via smartphones, fingerprint scanners, or keypads. This is especially beneficial for businesses and homeowners who want to grant temporary access to guests or technicians that need entrance to the property.
3. Remote Access and Control
With an app or other software, business owners who need to manage multiple locations or homeowners can control their property without physically being at the property.
4. Customizable Access Levels
An enhanced benefit allows businesses to grant different access levels to employees for certain locations as well as homeowners to provide temporary access codes to house guests, cleaners or anyone else they wish which have predefined expiration dates.
5. Future-Proofing Security
As security threats evolve, traditional locks remain static in their vulnerabilities. Keyless entry systems can be updated with new software and security patches, ensuring that your home or business remains protected against emerging threats.
