Secure Our City, Inc. Increases Parking Security with Farpointe Long Range Reading Solution
Farpointe Data, announced that Secure Our City Inc., an electronic security technology and low voltage design firm based in Ashland, Mass., was able to solve the problems that a parking garage used by a leading healthcare organization was having with standard 125-kHz proximity readers and credentials. By creating a new security system featuring cameras, access control and the Farpointe Ranger long range reading system, Secure Our City was able to make possible higher security access, such as double-tapping at the entrance, and provide the increased control the parking garage needed.
“We were dealing with high end customers in a challenging neighborhood and a standard proximity system was not doing the job needed,” reported Secure Our City Managing Partner and Founder Geva Barash. “The first thing we did was add cameras, including an analytical camera, to check for piggy-backing. Today, if a vehicle attempts to follow another or a person tries to follow the car in to the garage, a flashing light goes off, warning the driver that they are being followed while acting as a deterrent to the offender.”
