Conventional Security Systems v/s Modern Security Systems In Gated Community

From the recent survey, it shows that communities with modern security systems have had low crime rates when compared to the communities with conventional security systems. The main reason people move to a gated community is security but with the age-old conventional methods, it’s never effective in the long run.

There is a lot of change from the conventional security systems to the ones now, the modern systems are more feasible and secure when compared to what we had earlier. Usage of technology had lead to the upgrade of the security systems. Let’s have a look at the few methods and scenarios of conventional security systems to modern security systems

Conventional Security Systems

• All the work is done manually using pen and paper like entering the details of the visitors, delivery executives, etc. The manual work is more prone to errors because it is handled by humans.
• The details of the visitors are entered in the register which is quite a time-consuming task.
• Despite having all of it in a single book you still don’t have any guarantee of the data, the book can be stolen, burnt or anything can happen.
• The guards appointed at each gate or area are not properly trained about how important it is to keep the area safe. In a few cases, the guard is not even available near the assigned points/areas.
• Sometimes if there are too many visitors coming in at the same time then the guard will not be able to handle and may miss out on a few of them.
• There can be few visitors who enter but stay back within the premises.
• The CCTV’s are installed but the guard is not monitoring it always.
• No time-time update to the homeowners.

Modern Security Systems

• Modern security systems use technology to maintain details of the visitors or workers and can never go wrong with it.
• All real-time updates are provided to the homeowners.
• The database is pretty much secure and has a very less chance of loss.
• The modern systems are more feasible, simple and easy to use.
• Many security systems now provide visitor management feature where they can track, monitor and give permission to the visitor to enter the community.
• Now owners can accept/deny the entry of a visitor or worker with just a click on their phone.
• In a community of more than 300 flats, there are a lot of deliveries happening on a day to day basis, but tracking and monitoring their entry is a little stressful task but with a feature like delivery management by MyGate you can now manage them with ease.
• Child security is one of the best updates in the security systems category, you can now know the whereabouts of your child within the community. No matter where they are you will always be notified.

Now we know why modern security systems are the most preferred, they provide more real-time updates and are more reliable and practical when compared to conventional methods. Choose the one that works efficiently and has a high rate of providing security in your gated community.
