There was a time when the concept of gated communities conjured images of tiny neighborhoods filled with towering historic homes, sitting proudly on impeccably manicured lawns along shady, brick-paved streets. We'd picture wealthy CEOs or retired dot-commers in luxury cars stopping briefly to punch in a code at an access control security system checkpoint before rolling through a tall, wrought iron vehicle gate access. Entry control for a residential community has long been thought of as something only the rich could afford. However, that image of the gated community is rapidly changing.

Today, more and more communities of every size, design, and price range are providing their residents with the peace of mind that comes with a well-designed, affordable visitor management system, such as those perfected by SafeHouse Systems. Our sophisticated integrated security and access control software provides superior performance with the added advantages of quick, easy use by residents, their guests, and resident or community contractors; a secure database that is searchable by first or last name, address, phone or PIN, and includes photos of residents and guests; speedy, immediate recovery from common database errors; and so much more.

From a single, stand-alone guard hut to a community-wide, integrated network, you'll find what you need among SafeHouse Systems' many integrated security and access control options and specialized vehicle access control. Our systems are designed to work with any number of access control security system interrogators, from BAI® barcodes to Ticket Issuing Devices to our Radio Frequency IDs. In addition, cards or other devices that are used for vehicle gate access control can be programmed to also allow entry into clubhouse, laundry facilities, recreation areas or other areas of the gated location, depending on the level of accessibility that is preferred. The level of flexibility SafeHouse provides in its systems gives a community a convenient and affordable means with which to keep its residents and guests safe and happy - yet free to move about unrestrained.
