The constant wear and tear from inserting cards caused frequent breakdowns requiring the parking barriers to remain unlocked and open until repairs could be made. Cards with worn bar codes were also an ongoing problem requiring repeated card replacement or forcing residents to gain access through a guarded station.<\/p>\n<p>Access to shared areas was also becoming a problem. Management was concerned that previous tenants or relatives of tenants were using these shared areas, potentially causing liability issues. The fitness and laundry facilities were becoming overcrowded and were frequently used outside of the hours specified in the complex\u2019s bylaws (6 A.M. to 11 P.M.).<\/p>\n<h3>The Keri Solution<\/h3>\n<p>Instead of having separate vehicle and pedestrian access control systems, the best solution was to use an integrated system. Replacing the failure-prone bar code readers was also a requirement. The security provider contracted by Hunters Glen recommended a Keri Systems integrated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">access control<\/a>\u00a0system using<\/p>\n<p>Proximity card readers are now placed at both the front parking gate controlling vehicle access to the complex as well as the walk up gate beside the parking gate. By merely presenting their card to the reader, residents are quickly able to gain access through either of the gates. Traffic flows more quickly because they no longer have to fight with inserting their bar code cards into slots or worry about jamming the reader. Because there are no moving parts in either the reader or card and there is no contact required between the two, failures are virtually non-existent. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">controllers<\/a>\u00a0for these gates are placed in the gate shack with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">network<\/a>\u00a0cable running back to the main office.<\/p>\n<p>Although Keri\u2019s communication network can cover almost two miles, the distance and the terrain that was covered between the office and the remote parking gate controller made installing a network cable to this controller unfeasible. This controller is connected directly to a standard PC\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">modem<\/a>\u00a0that allows the administration office PC to dial into the remote parking gate controller whenever needed to add or delete new tenants.<\/p>\n<p>Using Doors<sup>\u2122<\/sup>, Keri\u2019s access control software, the administrators were able to make changes to the controllers quickly. Using Doors&#8217;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">Timezone<\/a>\u00a0and<\/p>\n<p>Access to the Fitness Center is now controlled by proximity card readers. To ensure the residents living in the immediate vicinity are not disrupted during off-hours, the Fitness Center controllers, which are placed in an electrical room, are set to limit resident access to between 6 A.M. and 11:00 P.M. Security and administrative personnel, however, still have unlimited access.<\/p>\n<p>To address the problem of tenants lending their cards to friend or relatives, Hunters Glen makes use of Keri\u2019s optional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kerisys.com\/tech\/documentation-downloads\/definitions\/\">photo-badging<\/a>\u00a0package which allows a digital image of the cardholders face to be stored in the database as well as printed on the card. Using this feature, security personnel are quickly able to determine whether the person presenting the card is the tenant by simply comparing the picture on the card to the person using the card. With 3,000 card holder\/tenants, even well established guards cannot recognize every one, nor can they keep up with turnover in the resident population.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Keri MS-3000 Reader is mounted to a<br \/>\nstandard electrical box to aid in retrofitting<br \/>\nthe Fitness Center. Readers are often<br \/>\nmounted directly to the wall.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Results<\/h3>\n<p>Hunters Glen is so pleased with the system, that they are planning on adding a new drive-through gate entrance and adding access control to laundry and maintenance areas during the Summer of 2001.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We bought our new Keri Access Control System because of its expandability and the Proximity Readers. What&#8217;s nice about the system is it&#8217;s very easy to use and navigate around in. It&#8217;s so incredibly easy to turn people\u2019s cards off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">&#8211; Bill Smith, Facilities, Hunters Glen<\/p>\n<h3>Equipment Used<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>3 PXL-250 Controllers<\/li>\n<li>2 SB-293 Satellite Boards<\/li>\n<li>3 MS-3000 MicroStar Proximity Readers<\/li>\n<li>3 MS-5000 MiniStar Proximity Readers<\/li>\n<li>Doors<sup>\u2122<\/sup>\u00a0Access Control System Software with Badging Option<\/li>\n<li>Pentium 133 MHz Computer (already on site at Hunters Glen)<\/li>\n<li>Modem<\/li>\n<li>Magicard Turbo Badge Printer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunters Glen Hunters Glen Apartment Complex The Situation Hunters Glen Apartments, a large residential facility in New Jersey had two concerns.
