How Visitor Management Systems Work
A modern visitor management solution operates through a seamless, automated process that ensures security without sacrificing efficiency:
-
Pre-Registration & Capture: Visitors receive a mobile invitation to pre-register before arrival, or use a lobby kiosk to scan their ID and capture a high-resolution photo.
-
Verification & Notification: The system instantly verifies identity against security watchlists and automatically notifies the host via SMS, email, or app the moment the guest arrives.
-
Credential Provisioning: Once authorized, a digital badge or QR code is issued, granting the visitor temporary, zone-based access through integrated entry points.
| Feature | Impact on Your NYC Building |
|---|---|
| Real-Time Tracking | Know exactly who is in the building during emergencies. |
| Touchless Check-In | Professional, hygienic entry using QR codes and personal devices. |
| Seamless Integration | Connects directly with Genetec, Brivo, and Comelit platforms. |
| Audit-Ready Logs | Secure, encrypted records for HIPAA, ITAR, and OSHA compliance. |
HOW VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WORK
A modern visitor management system operates through a simple three-step process to ensure secure and efficient entry:
Registration: Visitors can pre-register via a mobile invitation or use a self-service lobby kiosk to scan their ID and capture a high-resolution photo for verification.
Authorization: The visitor management solution instantly checks the guest against security watchlists and automatically notifies the host via SMS, email, or app upon arrival.
Access & Tracking: Once cleared, the system issues a digital badge or QR code, granting temporary, zone-based access while maintaining a real-time, audit-ready log of the visitor's location.
SEAMLESS SECURITY INTEGRATION
The true power of a visitor management system lies in its ability to communicate with your existing security infrastructure to create a unified ecosystem:
-
Access Control Sync: Automatically provision temporary credentials, such as QR codes or PINs, that sync directly with Genetec, Brivo, or Salto to limit guest access to authorized zones.
-
Video & Intercom Link: Integrate with Comelit or ButterflyMX systems to visually verify guests and manage entry from a single interface, ensuring no visitor enters unannounced.
-
Automated Offboarding: Once a visitor signs out or their scheduled time expires, the system instantly deactivates their credentials across all platforms, maintaining strict building security.
