Finding the proper home security measures for the safety of your tenants and the property is vital. Still, it also makes your job a lot easier with the most advanced technology installed.
Therefore, we want to look at how affordable wireless access systems are in today’s market and what sort of considerations property managers should make for the homes they are responsible for.
The Price of Security
It would be easiest to break down the cost of a wireless access system into smaller parts. These smaller costs might include the hardware, installation, maintenance, upgrading, subscriptions, and any add-ons. It isn’t easy to know how much it will cost without knowing the model you are considering.
Generally, the more you spend on home security, the more advanced it will likely be and the more benefits it can offer. Intercom systems with video capability tend to be more expensive than those without. Other models, like the ones provided by Intratone, connect to your phone so you can see the camera display from the comfort of your mobile device.
When deciding on the device you intend to install, consider what it might cost to have an expert install it. If you are purchasing a wired system, a professional will need to install it. However, wireless access systems can typically be attached to an exterior wall by you, the property manager, or the tenants. Therefore, labor costs should be considered when installing a wired intercom rather than a wireless one.
Budgeting and Management
Other installations could be considered part of the devices you introduced to a property you’re responsible for, but you must consider the cost. A digital noticeboard, for example, is a great way to disperse a message to every resident in a building quickly and visibly. Still, there is an upfront cost to installing this.
However, every communal building or property should ideally have an intercom system. Otherwise, it will be too difficult for residents to Grant or deny access to guests, delivery drivers, or anybody else who shows up.
Ultimately, the commission you make from the rent charged by the landlord to the tenant makes up your budget for the installations you can introduce. The landlord may incur some or all of this cost, and they will need to give the final approval that they are happy with these introductions.
Key fobs and lockers are usually expected by any landlord who wants to ensure their tenants are safe and comfortable. These products can be a convenient way to access communal keys and manage who was last in.
