They can set their own schedules and we configure the Connect ONE GUI. If there’s an emergency or other response required, the superintendent or management can use their smart device for access. It’s all part of the Connect ONE app, which we use for many office and multitenant buildings."
--Gary Davis
Principal and Owner of Alarm Specialists

Having an integrated system--access control, security, CCTV and temperature monitoring and control is important."
