Private Residential Complexes

Looking for expertise to design automated access and parking systems?

As the demand for security & convenience in parking and access control in gated community increases day by day, manufacturers of these systems use increasingly sophisticated technology to meet this demand.

Everyone wants to feel good about where they live and a gated community is like a private club where access privileges are required. Privacy means exclusivity and therefore increased property value. Any real benefits of crime prevention are a plus. The reason is not just the concern about security but also the heightened awareness on the part of developers that they tend to increase property values. In small buildings where after hours access is unnecessary, such a system can provide additional security and lessen the workload of the security personnel. Formidable fencing and gates, by design, restrict access and therefore provide both a physical as well as psychological barrier for criminals. They provide the perception of security, safety and privacy.

Designing and implementing a comprehensive Parking and Security Control System is a fascinating and challenging assignment. The system should balance several contradictory roles like high resident expectations and tight budgets. It should be easy to use, sophisticated and extremely reliable in both indoor and outdoor applications.

A building might have a glamorous entrance, but most of its residents and visitors first see the parking lot or garage making it a major security concern. Residents expect such neighborhoods to be generally safer than other varieties of housing. It is imperative that the administration looks at security as a comprehensive subject and provides a simple yet integrated system for it.

Even a 99.99% reliability is not really acceptable since that would mean that in a complex with five hundred residents, one resident would have a problem every day

This handbook is aimed to help the administrator, developer or manager. It key objective is to provide fundamental as well as detailed guidelines, tools and templates to design an efficient and cost effective application.

The manual highlights the various user groups and discusses their access requirements. Having such a system reduces the workload on the security personnel.

For a good secure environment, all the participants need to play their respective roles. This is not always possible. Residents who are not owners often have a conflicting agenda than the ones who are owners. The sensitivity to watch for stray people is not equally prevalent. Education is the key to this goal.

A perfect solution may differ from one gated community to another, depending upon the needs and requirements of its project. In order to provide a perfect/complete solution, it is evident that you need to understand the requirements, layout and structure beforehand. Knowing the customer is essential.

The effectiveness of gates & fencing depends on the nature of a particular property & management controls in place.
