As an expert in security electronic systems for the past 10 years, I have witnessed the evolution of security technology, including the rise of RFID, NFC, and Bluetooth mobile access systems.
While all of these technologies offer various benefits, I believe that upgrading to Bluetooth mobile access systems is crucial for strata buildings in terms of security, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
In this blog post, I will discuss the importance of upgrading to Bluetooth mobile access systems and provide multiple examples to support my argument.
Firstly, let’s talk about security. Bluetooth mobile access systems offer a more secure and reliable solution than traditional access systems such as keys or fobs. With traditional systems, if a key or fob is lost or stolen, it can be easily replicated or used to gain access to a building. In contrast, Bluetooth mobile access systems use encrypted data transmission and are linked to a specific user’s smartphone.
This means that even if a user loses their smartphone, their access can be quickly disabled and replaced by a new device. Additionally, Bluetooth mobile access systems can be programmed to allow access only during specific times, ensuring that only authorized individuals are allowed in the building.
To further illustrate the importance of Bluetooth mobile access systems for security, let me provide an example. In 2019, a strata building in Sydney, Australia, was targeted by a group of thieves who gained access to the building using stolen keys. The thieves stole thousands of dollars worth of goods from residents’ apartments before fleeing the scene. If the building had been equipped with a Bluetooth mobile access system, the thieves would not have been able to gain access with stolen keys, preventing the theft from occurring.
Another key advantage of Bluetooth mobile access systems is convenience. Gone are the days of fumbling for keys or fobs to gain entry to a building. With Bluetooth mobile access systems, all that is needed is a user’s smartphone. This is not only more convenient for users but also eliminates the need for building managers to keep track of keys and fobs, saving time and resources.
To further illustrate the convenience of Bluetooth mobile access systems, let me provide an example. Imagine a strata building with a large number of residents and visitors. With traditional access systems, building managers would need to issue and track a large number of keys and fobs. This can be a time-consuming and tedious process. With Bluetooth mobile access systems, however, all residents and visitors can be added to the system quickly and easily. Users can also be granted temporary access through their smartphones, further streamlining the process.
Lastly, upgrading to Bluetooth mobile access systems can also be cost-effective in the long run. While the initial investment may be higher than traditional systems, the cost savings over time can be substantial. For example, if a key or fob is lost, it must be replaced at a cost to the building. With Bluetooth mobile access systems, however, users can simply use their smartphones, eliminating the need for replacement keys or fobs. Additionally, the maintenance and upkeep of Bluetooth mobile access systems are generally lower than traditional systems, saving building managers time and money.
To further illustrate the cost-effectiveness of Bluetooth mobile access systems, let me provide an example. Imagine a strata building with 100 units, each with a key and a fob. If each key and fob costs $20 to replace and is lost once a year, the building would be spending $2,000 annually on key and fob replacement alone. Over the course of 10 years, this adds up to $20,000. If the building were to upgrade to Bluetooth mobile access systems, however, the cost of replacing lost keys and fobs would be eliminated, resulting in significant cost savings over time.
In conclusion, upgrading to Bluetooth mobile access systems is crucial for strata buildings in terms of security
Upgrading your strata building’s security is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps to ensure the safety and security of residents, guests, and visitors. Secondly, it can help to prevent crime, including theft, vandalism, and break-ins. Additionally, it can increase the value of your property and make it more attractive to potential buyers or renters.
There are several effective security upgrades for strata buildings, including installing security cameras, intercom systems, and access control systems such as keyless entry or swipe cards. Adding motion sensor lighting in common areas, upgrading locks and door hardware, and implementing security patrols are other effective ways to enhance security.
The cost of upgrading a strata building’s security can vary depending on the size of the building, the types of upgrades needed, and the level of security required. Some upgrades, such as installing security cameras or intercom systems, can be relatively inexpensive, while others, such as upgrading the building’s access control system, may require a larger investment.
To ensure that security upgrades are carried out effectively, it is important to work with reputable and experienced security professionals who can provide expert guidance and installation services. You can also involve the building’s strata committee or owners’ corporation in the process to ensure that all residents are informed and have input.
Security systems in strata buildings should be regularly assessed and updated as needed to ensure that they remain effective and up-to-date with the latest security technology. It is recommended to review and assess security systems at least once a year and to make any necessary upgrades or changes based on the results of the assessment.
