Who isn’t excited about the future of technology? Everything is getting smarter, from our homes to our cars. We’re living in an exciting time where we can access information on demand and connect with anyone, anywhere in the world. But this new reality also comes with a host of challenges. How do you protect your family from threats? How do you keep track of everyone coming in and going out of your property? And how do you stay updated in real-time on everything happening on site? The good news is that there are ways to address these issues—including making sure your home has a cellular-based access control system featuring the SecurePass proximity reader from Security Brands Inc. In this article, we will share how this technology can give you the peace of mind you need to know your family and property are safe and secure, no matter where you are in the world.

Cellular technology is the future of remote access control. Cellular-based security systems are the perfect solution for homes that need to secure their premises but lack landline service or wish to establish remote access points in areas that aren’t currently serviced by a landline provider. Cellular allows you to add more users and access points because it offers faster response times and more bandwidth than previous generations of cellular connectivity (3G/4G). With this type of equipment, you can manage your access control system from anywhere on earth at any time with faster response times as well!

Cloud-based access control management

Cloud-based access control management allows you to remotely manage and monitor your access control system using a centralized, web-based portal. The cloud-based deployment also allows for easy scalability, so you can easily add users and doors.

Access control systems are backed by cellular technology, which means no more worrying about signal interference from other wireless devices. Additionally, because there’s no need for Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity to the networked access control panel, it’s easy to install in areas where these services may not be available (like remote or offsite locations).

Keypads and card readers that use the latest cellular technology are backed by a powerful network of more than 100 million cell sites across the United States. This network allows for maximum coverage in all areas where your business operates on a daily basis. The reliability of this connection ensures that your customers can gain access when they need it so they can get in or out quickly when they visit your location or stop at one of your retail stores or service centers — no matter where you are located!

High-definition Ascent Camera for still photos

Security Brands Ascent family of access control, with its high-definition camera, allows you to capture still photos of the premises and visitors. This makes it a great tool for capturing people who may wish to damage or steal from your property. The device is also useful for monitoring invitees—it can be used in tandem with Security Brands’ Summit Control App when setting up an account, allowing you to check in on guests as they arrive at your home. You can also schedule maintenance crews to have access on certain days of the week, such as a lawn crew. The Ascent will grant them access during this time period while also documenting when they arrive and when they leave. This feature is available for both iOS and Android devices!

Photo push notifications

It is important to be aware of your premises at all times. Photo push notifications are a great way to keep track of who enters and goes out of your premises. You’ll get a photo push notification when the camera takes a photo, and you can also set it up so that you receive notification when someone enters or exits the property. This helps you determine if there was an intruder or if someone just forgot their key as well as aids in security for your home, making sure nothing gets stolen or damaged by accident.

Up to 10,000 app, text, and voice users

You can add up to 10,000 app, text, and voice users with the Ascent family of products. These versatile devices are backed by cellular technology that allows you to connect them in a number of different locations. Control up to two access points from one location! With Ascent keypads, card readers, and telephone entry from Security Brands, you have the ability to grant access via app, text message, or phone call from anywhere in the world. With this technology at your fingertips—and at an affordable price point—you can ensure your home has 24/7 access no matter where you are.
