Video Doorman launches its Safe Lobby system and expands in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan

LONG ISLAND CITY, NY Most real estate property managers and police departments agree that 95% of apartment building crime begins at the front door. Now Video Doorman Safe Lobby is the first proactive security system to prevent lobby loitering and monitor lobbies for safety. It's so unique there's a patent pending. The Video Doorman Safe Lobby System provides a residential apartment building with remote security and surveillance 24/7, just like an actual doorman or guard. It limits access only to tenants; it makes sure the front door is closed; it detects forced entry; it welcomes and escorts tenants into the building 24/7; and it prohibits loitering in the lobby. Access control, monitoring and recording are all rolled into one system! How It Works The system integrates a card reader and front door contact with cameras, speakers and microphones in the lobby and the elevator. The high quality Digital Video Recorder with Video Analytics is linked via high-speed IT line to our Central Station, allowing us to literally be the doorman of your building.
