It also provides a peace of mind to residents. Each resident is given a security card to use in the elevator allow them only access to certain areas of the building. Visitors must first check in at the front desk or doorman. The condo will be equipped with an electronic key card reader that permits staff to track who enters and leaves the building through each door. In addition to limit access for contractors and other service people. Also in case of fire or other emergency, the staff will maintain of list or tenants with physical limitations so they can assist them exiting the building. (Richardson, 2011)

Park lots are another area for inspection. Criminal frequently wait by the pressure-activate gate and alleys seeking for the opportunity to burglarize family. The installation of gates that close immediately after one car exits, surveillance cameras and the attendant can help deter crime. In addition, to all the security cameras, residents will be able to tune into a special cable TV channel that broadcasts shots of the front door, allowing the resident to confirm that delivery person or an visitor who buzzing them is familiar face.
