From small offices to multi-site enterprises, the way you manage building access matters more than ever. Keys get lost. Codes get shared. And traditional systems can’t keep up with how businesses work today.

That’s why SecuraCore installs Alarm.com’s Business Access Control—a modern, cloud-managed solution that combines convenience, scalability, and security in one smart platform.

Here’s how it transforms everyday access into effortless control.

1. Centralized, Cloud-Based Management

Traditional keycards and on-site servers belong to the past. With Alarm.com’s cloud-based access control, everything lives securely online—so you can manage users, permissions, and schedules from anywhere.

Add or revoke access instantly, whether you’re in the office or across the country.
View detailed event logs and door activity in real time.
Manage multiple properties from one unified dashboard. SecuraCore configures your system so your Bend business can operate smarter—without constant IT involvement or on-site maintenance.

2. Seamless Integration with Security and Video

Access control shouldn’t live in isolation. Alarm.com unifies it with your intrusion detection, video surveillance, and automation systems for complete visibility.

See who’s at the door and unlock it remotely from the same app.
Automate system disarming when authorized staff arrive.
Pair with Alarm.com Pro Series cameras for recorded video tied to specific access events. This kind of integration means fewer blind spots, faster response times, and smarter daily operations—especially when SecuraCore’s technicians design the system around your specific workflow.

3. Smart Credentials and Mobile Access

No more badge printers or forgotten fobs. Employees can use their smartphones as secure credentials with the Alarm.com mobile app.

Unlock doors with Bluetooth or NFC tap access.
Issue temporary digital passes to vendors or visitors.
Instantly deactivate access for departing employees or expired contractors. Mobile access gives your business flexibility without compromising security—and it’s one of the most requested upgrades SecuraCore implements for local clients.

4. Scalable Hardware for Every Door

Alarm.com offers a full range of hardware options to fit every space—from single-door offices to enterprise facilities:

Reader Controllers (like the ADC-AC-R1) manage one or multiple entry points.
PoE door controllers reduce wiring costs and simplify installation.
Smart readers and credential options support PIN, card, and mobile unlock. Each device communicates seamlessly with the cloud platform, allowing effortless expansion as your business grows.

5. Actionable Insights and Automation

Beyond access, Alarm.com’s platform delivers real-time insights into how your building is used.

Generate reports on employee entry patterns, late arrivals, or after-hours activity.
Trigger automation rules—like turning on lights or adjusting climate—when someone badges in.
Receive alerts for door-forced events or unexpected access attempts. With SecuraCore’s configuration, your building becomes more secure, efficient, and responsive to daily operations.
