They need to be powered where there is ethernet. This makes it hard for areas outside in larger fields and such (that are not tied to that). But for a hard-wired business, that wants to do away from home run copper back to the on-prem box, this is a great alternative.

We looked at Meraki/Cisco cameras, as well as various on-prem servers. Nothing really stacked up when it came to features, cost, and ease of use. Meraki/Cisco came the closest but the licensing was not ideal.

The system automatically sends a text to the visitor, containing a unique 5-digit access code specific to that visitor. Permanent visitors always have access, while temporary visitors' codes expire as set by the user.Screenshot of VirtualKeypad — Upon scanning the QR code with their mobile device, visitors are presented with the VirtualKeypad, eliminating the need for any app downloads, and transitioning the process to a mobile format. Visitors simply enter their unique 5-digit code into the VirtualKeypad, which then grants them access.
