When they were first introduced to residential buildings, elevators were merely a convenience but they quickly became a necessity for today’s high-rise commercial buildings. Apart from providing a way to move people and goods between floors quickly, elevators also provide the universal access to services and floors as it’s mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Along with this essential convenience and easy access comes a major vulnerability that building owners must tackle – how can they protect their tenants from intruders or unwanted visitors?

Elevator security systems are the ideal solution for building owners, as these systems will allow you to monitor and control access to the various parts and floors of your building, creating a safer environment for your tenants, which ultimately leads to increased occupancy rates.

When buildings have multiple tenants, allowing occupants access to all floors of the building is neither safe, nor appropriate. Legal and safety issues can ensue, leaving you liable for damages ranging from actual physical harm to corporate espionage. In order to provide your tenants with a secure work environment, you must control all points of access to the floors in your building by controlling the elevators and elevator lobbies. Elevator access control systems will provide your building with extra security, reducing the risk of vandalism, theft and corporate espionage.

Our security experts can outfit your building with one of our expandable and adaptable elevator security systems that offer the capacity to control all the elevators on all the floors of your building. You will be in full control of access, with the ability to set accessible floors for each card holder individually. The system’s software is able to manage and store access and event data for up to 50,000 card holders and 20,000 events. More advanced elevator security systems have the capability to retain ID event data and setting value even during power failures.

The elevator security system can function as a stand-alone system or work integrated with a high-tech building automation system, CCTV cameras and occupancy sensors to create a complete security solution.
