Virtual Doorman

How it works

Virtual Doorman is a building-wide system that integrates a touch screen video intercom, digital CCTV, and access control to remotely grant access for visitors, deliveries, vendors, and even the occasional resident who is locked out of their building. Our highly skilled operators at our Command Center remotely monitor your property and control access to the premises. The system was designed to be very user-friendly for residents, guests and management alike. Residents and management also have access to our state-of-the-art Virtual Doorman Welcome App, which enables the user to manage their guests, control and unlock doors, and see cameras at their building.

Packages, deliveries and guests

No more waiting at home for a package, dry cleaning, or other delivery to arrive. With Virtual Doorman services, our Operators will accept packages and deliveries, direct the delivery person to a secure package storage room, and email you to let you know you have a package/delivery waiting for you when you return home.
  • Call button is pressed

    When the Virtual Doorman call button is pressed, our Operators instantly receive an alert and a live video feed from the building, alongside a data screen with all relevant building information, which instructs the Operator on how to handle the delivery or visitor.

  • Visitor verified

    Once the visitor or delivery has been verified, access is granted remotely and the carrier is directed to the secure package area/room to complete the delivery.

  • Package received

    Our Operators digitally sign for the delivery and send a notification to the resident informing them that they have a package waiting. The package room is monitored by cameras to ensure security of the delivery.

  • Monitored access

    The entire process is monitored by our remote doorman, or Operators. If an incident or unusual activity is observed, the Operator takes action if necessary. All activity is recorded and can be retrieved and reviewed as needed.
