Do each of the property owners have their own separate code? Or do all property owners use the same code to enter? And your contractors… do you just give them the main code or does each get a separate one?
I own in a few buildings that do it different ways. I guess it depends how advanced the system is and if it has the ability to track each code. Also, is there a security camera at the entrance that records each visitor?
In one of the buildings I have they don’t change it too often but each property owner has their own code and code for their guests. And it has the ability to track which codes were used to enter and also a security camera so they don’t change it too often.
Where I live now they just changed the system last year where they can issue electronic transponder stickers that just stick on the window. With that they can track EACH visitor and entry and it can be activated for a set amount of time or you can always call to deactivate it.
The system is great but I imagine it was expensive to implement. The stickers work in various entrances around the development so you can use it to enter each entrance. And they can electronically track each entry to know who entered by the sticker #.
And they were pretty smart about the set up. They started deactivating the stickers for those that are not current on their HOA bills or late many months behind. I found that interesting and a good idea. They also shut off their internet/cable which is included in the monthly HOA bill.
