Seasoned security professionals posted at the common entrance can question suspicious looking persons
about their purpose of visit and can thus prevent undesirable characters and wanderers from entering the
building to survey the potentiality of crime adventures. Presence of such security persons actively keeping
watch on the entrants acts as a deterrent to criminals and undesirable visitors.

Installation of gadgets like CCTV(s20) camera with
Recording at the common entrance can record the movements of all the incoming and outgoing persons
with date and time. This can greatly help in investigation of an incident later on. It also has a deterrent
effect on undesirable elements. Recording can be done on the traditional tapes
or on a PC based Surveillance system (sxxx) |

Multi-apartment Door Entry System(s79), Door entry
systems(s77), Access control(s15) systems are very useful in regulating the access and can keep the undesirable
elements away. Video-door phones(s78) are also very useful to monitor the visitor. These
gadgets could be used by the individual residents or can be used as a common facility by the Security
Personnel. Please note that the usage of technology pays of itself in a very short time as the number of
security persons can be reduced by supplementing with such equipment. |

Normally when there are common security personnel employed then monitoring of security personnel
becomes 'no-body's' job. To monitor the security persons, gadgets like Guard Tour Monitor
(
s84) are very useful to log the movement and alertness of the security personnel. Such systems provide
the proof of the movement and alertness of guards. |

The security guard at the main entrance can prevent the unauthorized hawkers and undesirable persons

from the resident before allowing the visitor into the complex.
