Does this door look familiar to you?
“During business hours, my employees take breaks and often leave the back door propped open. When they return, they forget to remove the brick or other item, and the door remains open. That’s a big risk because anyone can walk in the back door and sneak some product out. I need my employees to use the door, but if it’s left open too long, it’s a big problem.”
Doors are opened and closed multiple times a day during business hours. When doors are intentionally left open, your facility is vulnerable to theft and shrinkage, and the safety of your employees is at risk.
Use Delay Response to activate a local sounder at the keypad after the door has been open for one minute, giving employees time to close the door. If it is still not closed after two minutes, the system can send a report to the monitoring center or a text message directly to the store manager. When integrated to video, a picture of the incident can be sent to a mobile device alerting your customer to the event.
Taking the concept a step further, you can use Monitor Delay and Delay Response to protect and monitor access to jewelry cabinets, electronics storage, and pharmaceutical areas, which reduces the chance of shoplifting and employee theft. To make these features even more flexible in meeting customer requirements, you can program different duration thresholds based upon the type of merchandise or area you are protecting.
