You can be welcoming, safe, and secure with an automated visitor management system. It’s important to maintain control over who enters your facility, how long individuals stay, and what area(s) of your facilities that visitors can access.

At many organizations, a paper log is still used. While this approach can be seen as fast and easy, it is significantly lacking in security and allows anyone to see who has been in your facility. With Visitor Management from TSG, you create an environment where employees, information, and equipment are all safeguarded. You also project a more professional image, improve security markedly, and achieve compliance with mandates for obtaining and auditing visitor information.

Advantages of automated visitor management

• Look and perform professionally as you greet and check-in visitors
• Enhance security and safety by knowing who is in your facility at all times
• Limit visitor access to specific areas and control length of stays
• Improve ability to locate visitors – exceptionally valuable in emergency situations
• Perform analysis and create reports on visitor data, easily and comprehensively
• Screen for felonies and sex offender status (watch lists), if desired, checking against publicly available background information
• Gain maximum control over all aspects of visitation at your site(s)
• Visitor kiosks available for visit self check in

Key control is an important component of your organization’s total security operation and TSG’s key cabinets provide a highly accountable system for key management. Our systems secure keys for facilities, vehicles, and equipment and allow only authorized users to take only the keys they are authorized for. We can set curfews to make sure keys are returned and provide a complete audit trail of which user removed the key and when it was returned. We integrate the key management system into your organization’s security management system and link key cabinet events to video and access control to provide complete accountability.

• Control access to keys
• Keys are available 24/7/365 in a controlled unmanned operation
• Schedule times when people can remove keys to control access to doors, vehicles, and equipment
• Allow users to only remove the keys they are authorized for
• Comprehensive audit trail reports who removed the key and when it was returned
• Access keys with a pin code, card, fob or mobile device
• Set curfews when keys must be returned. Automatically generate alarms for curfew violations
