The original Video Doorman System offers tenants in a non-doorman building, a way to receive their package deliveries safely when they are not at home. When the courier presses the button on the Video Intercom Panel installed on the outside entry of the building, a trained Video Doorman Central Station operator views the courier, obtains tenant delivery information, and allows entry into the specific delivery area via the remote system. All activities are recorded, both audio and video. A series of cameras within the building, supplied with speakers and microphones, will monitor the delivery's progress through the building while "escorting" the courier to a secured package room. The tenant is then notified. The Video Doorman process consists of five simple steps; all backed up by expert security teams: * Access: The turnkey Video Doorman system begins at the front door with high quality components. * Central Station: Behind the technology are specially trained Video Doorman monitoring teams. * Entry/Tracking: As deliveries arrive, Video Doorman operators are there to protect the property. * Secure Storage: A tenants-only, secure package room is a key element of the Video Doorman system. * 24/7 Recording: Day and night, Video Doorman is truly the eyes and ears of the building, and it doesn't miss a thing. Larry Dolin, the CEO of American Remote Video and the creator of Video Doorman, says, "It's a revolutionary interactive system that provides 24/7 building security, escort support services for tenants, plus a way tenants can receive packages when they are not at home. And it does it at less than 5% of the cost of an actual doorman... about $1.50 per hour." Recently, Video Doorman also launched a security system called "Safe Lobby" to improve the safety in building lobbies. The Video Doorman Safe Lobby program is the first proactive security system to prevent lobby loitering and monitor lobbies for safety. It's so unique there's a patent pending. The Video Doorman Safe Lobby System provides a residential apartment building with remote security and surveillance 24/7, just like an actual guard for about $.85/hour. It limits access only to tenants; ensures the front door closes behind delivery personnel; it detects forced entry and it prohibits loitering in the lobby 24/7. "After being such a 'hit' in the New York market, we are thrilled to be Virginia's premier dealer of the new Video Doorman system," David Dagenhart, CEO, First Source Technologies.
