Parking security solutions are one area of security that require some of the simplest controls, but provide some of the greatest security for your staff and facility. Among them are professionally produced parking hangtags and decals. For some parking areas, paper tickets or even paper hang tags might be sufficient, but they leave a lot of room for fraud, being fairly easy for even amateurs to duplicate. In places where security is of great importance, maintaining a safe and secure environment begins with identifying people and vehicles immediately upon arrival, before they ever get to your building.
Identifying People Is Common
Visitors, vendors, students and employees; it’s common place in facilities for people to be wearing identification and badges. It helps people quickly identify others, plus allows your security team to control access as needed. With parking, though, it’s sometimes easy for someone to slip through a parking area, undetected, or by using someone else’s credentials. Instead, parking decals and hangtags can be customized using any number of options, including barcodes, special numbering, custom holographic or metallic markings made with a specialty foil, security printing, and even specialty ink that only shows up under a black light. More advanced techniques use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to transmit details of the user.
By putting features such as these in place, your organization can help mitigate breaches in security, and provide a deterrent for people considering entering your facility without the proper authority or credentials. Using these levels of technology for your parking area also allows to help the bottomline, saving time in man hours used typically with data or manual entry of guest or vendor details, thus allowing your security professionals to deal with more pressing and immediate concerns. In some instances, these kinds of solutions can also act as a revenue stream, whereas your organization can charge a fee for new or replacement parking credentials, or even a temporary parking credential for a guest.
