Why consider Virtual Doorman for your building or private residence?

Whether you have a high-profile private residence or are the manager or developer of an apartment building, you can meet all your tenants' needs with an electronic doorman. Virtual Doorman offers a reliable, high-quality, technologically-advanced remote alternative to a traditional doorman for small- to medium-sized residential buildings and luxury residential properties. A true alternative to an on-site doorman or concierge, Virtual Doorman provides the same services as a traditional doorman, but at a fraction of the cost. More than 10 years ago, Virtual Doorman revolutionized building security by being the first to provide 24/7 doorman service remotely.

Some of the key benefits Virtual Doorman can provide to your building or private residence include: Sophisticated Security Video monitoring is one of the greatest advantages of Virtual Doorman. With both indoor and outdoor monitoring from state-of-the-art security cameras, Virtual Doorman can provide a much more comprehensive security system than any human employee. Should an incident occur there is a video record that can be retrieved for investigation. Virtual Doorman is the eyes and ears providing a constant presence for the premises. Visitor Access Control Virtual Doorman secures the entrances to the building and is capable of remotely controlling exactly who can (and cannot) gain access to the building. When a visitor arrives and rings for the person they intend to visit, the video intercom connects the visitor to that tenant. If the tenant isn't at home, the visitor is connected to the Virtual Doorman Command Center where the Operators can either allow (or deny) entry in accordance with the resident's specific instructions. For the residents themselves, a proximity card reader is installed which enables the resident to simply swipe their access card to gain access to their building. In the event the resident forgets their building key, Virtual Doorman can provide lockout assistance. Package and Delivery Management Service Virtual Doorman provides access to major delivery companies, such as UPS, FedEx or USPS who are allowed monitored access to the lobby to complete their deliveries. The Operator asks the delivery person who the package is for, records the delivery, directs the delivery person to the package room and then notifies the tenant that they have a package waiting - much like a traditional doorman. The same applies to deliveries such as dry cleaning, groceries and other vendor deliveries.
