Safeguarding Your HOA Facilities

Many communities in the Triangle area offer amenities like swimming pools, exercise centers, or neighborhood clubhouses. While these amenities are great for residents, they can create liability issues for the HOA, POA, or property management group. It is important to control access while balancing convenience for the residents and monitoring for safety and security.

Secur-Tek, Inc. sells and installs equipment and monitoring solutions for community pool gates and shared amenities in the greater Raleigh, North Carolina area.

Solutions for ease of access:

Using coded cards or key fobs to control the swimming pool and fitness center access are efficient and cost-effective. Requiring cards or fobs to enter pool gates keeps strangers or unattended children out while offering convenient access to members or residents. The system can also be set up to open gates at specific times and coded so authorized personnel can review when access is requested for legal and illegal entry.

For ease of access management, Secur-Tek can provide remote hosting. Controlled internet access provides the ability to make program changes or unlock/lock a door/gate from anywhere. For the best control of your point of access, we install Keyscan access systems manufactured by Dormakaba, a global leader in the security and access control market.

Solutions for security:

In addition to good fencing and access control, we recommend installing a camera system. Cameras serve multiple purposes. Most importantly, when visible, they act as a deterrent to potentially hazardous or destructive behavior. If the unfortunate happens, they can prove helpful for identifying and prosecuting individuals caught trespassing or vandalizing the property. Should the situation arise where someone is injured, cameras also offer the option to review what happened and validate that safety equipment was in place.

Securing common areas while allowing convenient access for those authorized to use them is a critical issue for HOAs. Secur-Tek has the experience to help with this responsibility through the process of selecting and installing the right equipment given your situation, budget, and safety/security requirements.

Home Security Benefits for Pet Owners (and pets)

Pets enrich our lives in so many ways, from providing companionship to helping reduce stress. You love your furry friends and take great care of them, but ever wonder what happens to them when you’re not at home?

Or what if your pet ends up outside and the weather turns extreme—either freezing snow or scorching heat?

With a professionally installed ProSeries security system from Secur-Tek, you will be able to:

  • Check on your pets when you’re away, no matter where you are. Whether you’re down the street or across the country, you’ll always be in the know and ready to act when it matters most.
            •  View and record videos of those cute moments when your pets are at play.
            •  Open locked doors for a neighbor or friend to let your pets out if you’re unexpectedly delayed
            •  Provide temporary security codes for pet sitters and monitor when they come and go.
            •  Get alerts for smoke, carbon monoxide, or other events that might cause harm to your pets or property.
            •  Have instant awareness of your front door with a VX1 HD Video Doorbell.  Check on package deliveries and who’s at the door, whether you’re around the corner or across the country.

When you work with Secur-Tek, our skilled technicians will work with you to customize the security system so it fits your (and your pet’s) unique needs. They’ll install cameras so you can get the best view of your pets and position motion sensors that can distinguish between an intruder and a furry friend. (Restrictions apply to the size of pets and motion sensor placement).

And of course, they’ll test and make sure everything works the way it is intended to.
