With the web-based Visitor Link system, tenants and building managers can pre-authorize guests by registering them on a centralized database via the Internet. Visitors can check in at a self-service kiosk or, alternatively, at the guards' terminal. The system registers and verifies the pre-authorized visitor by scanning a driver's license or credit card, then instantly prints an identification badge for the guest. The ID badge can interface with building access controls to unlock turnstiles, doors and elevators.
"Visitor Link is the most advanced visitor processing and lobby management system available to building owners today," said Stephen Rindner, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Development at Kastle Systems. "With Visitor Link, it's easier than ever before for tenants to pre-authorize their guests and expedite the check-in process."
Through this streamlined process, the Visitor Link system prevents delays that may be caused by long lines, excessive waiting or filling out forms at lobby security check-in points. Rindner says that by using Visitor Link, "Building owners and tenants are able to manage traffic flow and security in building lobby areas more efficiently. By reducing registration lines and pedestrian bottlenecks, Visitor Link helps create a more comfortable security operation for visitors, tenants and building personnel."
Visitor Link also offers building managers the advantages of a real-time, up-to-the-minute record of authorization and admittance, to track and account for all visitors in the building. The database generates electronic reports that eliminate the need for time-consuming, paper-based registration, filing, and storage.
