OcuGate for Business: Best Practices for Commercial Properties
OcuGate's smart gate access system is for more than just residences. It offers powerful features that are also ideally suited to commercial properties. This article outlines the best practices for using OcuGate in a business setting.
1. Limiting Access Hours
With OcuGate, you can set custom schedules for different users or groups of users. For example, you can only allow cleaning services to access the property during specific hours. You can just navigate to the schedule settings on your OcuGate app to customize access times.
2. Designating User Types
Assign different levels of access based on user types, such as employees, management, security, and visitors. This allows you to control who can access specific areas and when thereby enhancing security and accountability.
3. Using the Access Log
OcuGate logs every entry and exit, so you can clearly record who was on the property at any given time. This is especially useful in the event of a security concern or dispute.
4. Implementing Guest Access
Use the guest access feature for delivery services, contractors, or temporary visitors. This allows you to grant one-time or limited-time access without giving out keys or permanent codes.
5. Integrating with Other Security Systems
OcuGate can seamlessly integrate with your existing security systems, such as security cameras or alarm systems. This creates a comprehensive security network for your commercial property.
6. Regularly Updating Your System
OcuGate periodically releases software updates to enhance functionality and security. Please ensure your system is always up to date to benefit from these improvements.
7. Training Your Staff
Ensure all relevant personnel understands how to use the OcuGate system effectively. This includes everyday use and what to do in case of a security concern.
