Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys in the home are long gone and landlords can now provide tenants with better security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synchronized with back-end software, allowing landlords to monitor access and exit. These systems also aid tenants in times of emergency to gain access to the property.

It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will shut the door if, for example the driver has a bag in his hands.
