Property management companies will finally have a secure third party application to help prevent illegal activities by prospective tenants visiting their property.
PRLog - Sep 17, 2013 - PHOENIX -- Apartment Guardian is excited to announce the launch of Secure ID™, a fingerprint reader that will improve personal safety for on-site staff members working in multifamily housing. The official launch date for Secure ID™ is 9/17/2013.
Apartment Guardian believes Secure ID™ will revolutionize the way apartments are shown. Prospects looking for apartments currently require a form of government issued identification as a crime deterrent. Under the new Secure ID™ program, prospects will submit a thumb print scan prior to touring the community, eliminating the possibility of identification fraud. Although the primary function is to deter criminal activity, the product can be used to aid law enforcement personnel in the event of a crime by providing officers with fingerprint data for use in an investigation. Secure ID™ consists of fingerprint scanning hardware and a proprietary software program developed by Apartment Guardian that will manage the privacy of the images. Images are captured and stored on an encrypted cloud based storage program that automatically purges the image after 72 hours, providing no criminal activity takes place during that timeframe.
“Our initial product works to help people that are caught in an emergency situation. We’re now working to prevent that situation from even arising”
Ryan Antrim, Chief Executive Officer, Apartment Guardian
Apartment Guardian, founded in 2012, in Phoenix, AZ, was the first company to focus its efforts on personal safety for on-site staff employees. The company offers a comprehensive solution for property management staff that find themselves in an emergency situation. The company currently operates in over 400 cities across the country, working with the top multifamily organizations.
In addition to Apartment Guardian’s Secure ID™ platform, the company equips multifamily staff members with their personal safety devices to help improve the safety of on-site employees. Employees that are set up on the Apartment Guardian system are equipped with their own personal safety device, which is powered by the latest GPS and cellular technology. With a simple, discreet push of a button, the employee is directly connected to 911, as well as Apartment Guardian’s emergency response center. Most importantly, Apartment Guardian is 100% mobile, so whether the staff member is in the office or elsewhere on the property, they’re one press of a button away from help.
Secure ID™ combined with the Apartment Guardian Personal Safety Devices (PSD) offer a comprehensive service for improving safety for on-site staff members in the multifamily industry.
“We’ve shown a measurable increase in safety through our personal security devices since our launch and we believe Secure ID is the next big step in our overall goal of reducing the variables that lead to crime on-site.” - Steven E. Bonaventure, Chief Operating Officer, Apartment Guardian
