Access Control for Condos and Apartment Buildings
An access control security system refers to entry system into buildings, gated communities, condo buildings and multi-family homes. The main advantage of installing it is to control who enters and exits the building, elevator, hallways, and garage entry.

Individuals who need access are residents, guests, delivery, service people and building staff. Those who live in the building often use and rely on access system to function flawlessly and keep them safe.

Access Control System for Condominiums & Apartment Complex
Because of the higher crime rate in recent years and anonymity in multi-resident apartment buildings, most apartment complex owners and managers decide to install high-security access system. As the owner or manager, you hold great responsibility for those living there. Complex access control is the most critical part of security because to secure all tenants you need to control the entrance.
Secure Alarms takes security concerns very seriously and do its best to find the best solution according to your needs. We install and maintain various access control solutions which will help you mitigate burglary, theft, and unauthorized access.
Intercom Systems in Apartment Complex
Intercom system includes door and entrance security solutions as well as controlling gates that guard garages and private parking. Your entrance access control can be improved by voice or video intercom, wire or wireless intercom, or outdoor intercom system. We at Secure Alarms provide you with highly trained technicians ensuring that the intercom solution meets your needs. Besides allowing people to enter the building, intercom can function as a security camera too, since people prefer securing entrances with video intercoms. The best solution is to integrate access control with the intercom system. This solution will allow tenants not only to see who is at the door but also to push the button and let visitors in.
Security Cameras for Apartments
Surveillance cameras are seen by some residents as an amenity for keeping them safe. Tenants also enjoy the fact that they can monitor who is at their front door, building entrance and gates. Some of the most important areas cameras should cover are parking, outdoor amenities, bike storage, elevator, service entrances and hallways. Secure Alarms experts design and install a complete multifamily apartment security camera system that is custom-tailored to meet your unique security challenges. It will live monitor and record events in the building, which is a big plus for building owners and managers. Our camera installers will help you choose the right camera type as we carry top-quality HD, infrared, IP surveillance cameras for both indoor and outdoor use.
Door Entry System in Multi-Tenant Buildings
Door entry security system will also keep unwanted visitors from entering the building or complex. Some other areas include lobbies, elevators, roof decks, pools, and tenant apartment units. Secure Alarms delivers number of choices of card readers, residential keypads, proximity card readers and multi-door access controllers. There are multiple advantages to installing a good door entry system. Card access allows us to fully control who enters and leaves the property.
Elevator Access Control
Elevator access control for apartment buildings consists of a credential reader and controller box placed inside the elevator. How it works? For example, tenant who lives on the 3rd floor can reach that floor only, but not other floors. The software allows certain people to access specific floors, at specific dates and times. Building managers can access any floor at any time. This way, property managers can effortlessly manage residents’ access throughout the building.
Gate Access Control in Apartment Complex
Gate access control for multifamily properties includes securing garages, private parking lots and gated communities’ entrances. To protect premises from car theft and break-ins, vandalism and even violence, you must consider keeping unknown guests far from the property. Secure Alarms handles different types of automatic gate operators for apartment complexes - barrier arms, sliding, swing gate motors, sliding gate motors, driveway gate motors and accessories. Our goal is to provide safe space for tenants, staff, and visitors. This system also allows owners and managers to remotely unlock the gate entrance.

Benefits of Multi-Tenant Access Control System
Keyless Access
Residents love keyless access to their buildings and apartment units because they don’t have to worry about losing keys. Multi-Tenant residents prioritize convenience and easy access to the property.
If by any chance a resident loses their access card, the same can be canceled to prevent intruders from entering. Intercom allows tenants to use codes, fingerprints, and key fobs to enter the unit.
Improved building security
Most renters claim that they would not rent an apartment with a poor security system. Safe apartment complex will attract and retain more tenants. Make sure to invest smartly in your security access system.
Another important feature is that when residents move out, the building manager can simply remove them from the system and all permissions to enter the property are lost.
Reduce package theft
Package theft is a big problem – 40% of Americans reported to have had their package stolen. Many people decide not to purchase anything online out of fear, while others make sure to be home when the package arrives. A property access system is the perfect solution that ensures couriers access locked doors and leave packages in a safe place.
Other benefits include
There are many other benefits of implementing security systems in apartments, like preventing intrusion, burglary, and vandalism, detecting criminals, making a property more valuable and increasing rent value.

Access System Installation Costs in Condominiums
The prices for installing access systems in multi-tenant complexes will vary depending on features and clients’ needs. Also, the cost depends on the complexity of the project, wiring needed for a job and how many hardware pieces should be integrated.
Factors that impact installation cost are:
How many intercom systems do you need? How many entryways are there?
The place where the system is being installed is a big factor. Sometimes it can be hard to access the area, and installation may need additional wiring and demolition
Cabling and wiring installation can raise the cost
Do you need additional access control installation on your gates?
If you want access to a system in every tenant unit, that includes more hardware and more time spent on installation
Important factor is how knowledgeable your installer is. By hiring someone with little experience, you risk making additional costs.
