    If you have turnstile before entry point. use it. Just make sure that you have regular fire drills and see that the deactivation of turnstile works fine. Otherwise it can create a havoc at the time of emergency. Biggest problem lies when there is outside huddle and people are coming back. Since everyone has to touch the card to access in, it takes a lot of time of the queue to enter.

    I think Verkada is incredibly scalable, and could be used in a small business as well as a large business. They have 4-door controllers and 16-door controllers, and the licensing depends on how many doors you wish to utilize - so even if you have only two doors - you're not overpaying for a four-door controller, while still having the ability to expand in the future if need-be. We have rolled out their cameras and door access control across our entire district, and we love it!

    Keri Door Access Control (Doors.Net Services). It's like going from DSL to Fiber internet. We have so many more features available to us now, and we are able to divide up roles amongst administrators/front desk positions/security personnel so that the IT team doesn't have so many overhead requests to change time schedules, or pull footage when needed. I'm not a fan of recurring licensing contracts, but it seems that's the way the entire industry is going, so there's no way to escape that. Verkada's customer support is fantastic - as they have live chat, phone support and email support available 24/7. Very happy with their total product suite, and will continue using them moving forward. We have deployed door access, cameras, vape/smoke/environmental sensors, Guest visit services and doorbell/intercom systems. All is great, and integrates well within all of our buildings
