Security for a single-family home may also include some type of visual tool such as a camera or video doorbell, some form of access control like a smart lock and even a way to issue temporary access for a service provider while you’re not home. Similarly, Proptia has many of the same tools but on a much larger scale. Instead of the door to your home Proptia is connecting to hardware that controls access, visitors, and vehicle images at your community gates, or amenity doors.

No your community does not need to be gated. In fact, many communities that are not gated are installing license plate recognition systems at main entrances as a way to enhance security and reporting on who enters the area and save on the expense and permitting process of installing a gate. Should there be a crime, cameras can pick up each vehicle make, model, color, type and license plate number. Residents can also be whitelisted so their information is not stored in the software. That information can then be presented to law enforcement.

It depends on the type of hardware currently installed. Proptia integrates with various hardware manufacturers. To determine if your existing hardware will work please consult with us and we can determine what can stay or what would need to be replaced. However often times Proptia can reuse your gatehouse monitor, keyboards, mouse, and printers, your access control readers and credentials, as well as lane cameras.

Yes you can export all of your current data e.g. resident, properties, vehicles, visitors, and even credentials. Proptia can organize your data and import it into the system to eliminate manual data entry. However, when building out the database it’s a great time to audit your data to make sure it’s accurate. Many systems overtime lack data integrity so to avoid putting bad data into a new system we recommend auditing your data.
