At Rently, we understand that ensuring property security is a top priority for operators. Vacant or occupied, a property can be susceptible to various threats, including unauthorized occupancy, vandalism, and rental fraud scams. However, with Rently Smart Home, managing and safeguarding your properties is significantly more efficient and effective. Let’s explore how Rently Smart Home can help prevent scams and enhance security for all properties.
1. Smart Home Security Monitoring with Rently
Rently Smart Home integrates seamlessly with a variety of devices, including motion sensors, contact sensors, and security cameras. This integration capability enables property managers to maintain constant surveillance over their properties.
- Motion Sensors: Designed to detect any movement within the property, these sensors prompt alerts to suspicious activity. This ensures that managers can take immediate action in the event of unauthorized access.
- Contact Sensors: Placed on doors and windows, contact sensors notify property managers if there’s any attempt to tamper with or force entry into the property.
- Security Cameras: With live feeds and recorded footage, security cameras provide visual evidence of any suspicious activity, aiding in identifying perpetrators and preventing future incidents.
- Smart Locks: Installing smart locks allows property managers to remotely lock or unlock doors, granting access only to authorized individuals.
- • Alarm Systems: Integration with alarm systems enables immediate notification of unauthorized entry attempts, deterring intruders and protecting the property.
When combined with Rently’s smart home platform, these devices provide 24/7 monitoring and detailed visibility over property activity.
2. Automated Notifications for Quick Response
Rently Smart Home enables instant, automated alerts for various issues, including potential security breaches. This efficiency allows property managers to respond promptly and mitigate potential scams or damages.
- Multiple Failed Code Attempts: Identifying patterns of unauthorized access attempts can prompt property managers to strengthen security protocols, such as updating access codes or increasing surveillance.
- Tampered Device Alerts: Early detection allows managers to investigate potential tampering attempts and take preventative measures, such as reinforcing security or contacting authorities. It also ensures prompt maintenance or replacement of compromised devices, further preventing security vulnerabilities.
- Battery Low Alerts: Timely notifications for low battery levels in smart locks and sensors ensure uninterrupted security monitoring. By promptly replacing batteries, property managers mitigate the risk of security breaches due to device downtime or failure.
- Customizable Alerts: Property managers can customize alerts based on specific criteria, such as time of day or type of sensor triggered, ensuring they receive relevant information for quick decision-making.
3. Remote Control and Access Management
Through Rently Smart Home technology, property managers can remotely control and monitor property access, preventing security breaches. The remote lock and unlock feature prevents unauthorized entry, and also facilitates access for maintenance workers or potential renters.
Smart access panels are a secure solution for common area and amenity access. With the ability to set custom schedules and permissions, managers can limit access at specific times for specific people. For example, setting the hours for the pool so that no one can enter after 10pm.
For all access devices, the Rently Smart Home platform keeps a detailed history of all access events. Unique codes allow managers to know who is accessing each device. The unique codes aid in reducing the risk of lost keys or unauthorized key distribution. This additional accountability provides complete visibility into property activity. Additionally, it ensures the property remains secure and accessible only to authorized individuals.
4. Prevention of Fraudulent Rental Scams
Rently Smart Home helps prevent fraudulent rental scams by implementing proactive measures.
- Automated Monitoring Schedules: Regular monitoring schedules ensure properties aren’t being illegally occupied.
- Self-Showing Technology: Smart locks and self-showing features enable controlled and monitored property viewings, reducing the risk of fraudulent listings.
- Timely Property Access Reminders: Automated reminders notify managers of properties that haven’t been accessed within a specified period, potentially indicating squatting situations. By proactively identifying these properties, property managers can investigate and address any unauthorized occupancy, reducing fraudulent rentals and property damage.
5. Comprehensive Reports and Analytics
The Rently Smart Home system generates detailed reports and analytics, empowering property managers to track activities and identify suspicious patterns.
The activity logs associated with each property and device offer detailed insights into usage patterns and access events. With smart locks, property managers can detect if the lock was manually engaged from inside, accessed via keypad from outside, or remotely controlled through the Rently Smart Home system. This granular level of detail enables property managers to closely monitor access activity and identify any anomalies or security breaches promptly.
On top of that, regular reports track security incidents and maintenance issues, providing valuable insights for property management improvement. These reports offer a comprehensive overview of security-related events, such as unauthorized access attempts and device tampering alerts. By analyzing these reports, property managers can identify patterns of suspicious behavior and take proactive measures to enhance property security
Excessive unlocks in a property can indicate unusual activity or potential security breaches. Notifying property managers of an unusually high number of access attempts within a short period enables prompt investigation and intervention to prevent unauthorized entry or suspicious behavior. This early detection mechanism is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of the property.
Lastly, a comprehensive dashboard in the Manager Portal provides first-level insights on your property, including the connectivity status of smart home devices. Property managers can quickly identify properties with offline hubs and take immediate action to restore connectivity, ensuring seamless security monitoring and property management operations.
