How Can ALICE Help with Lobby Security?

With all eyes on hackers and digital security, many businesses forget about physical security. But the fact is, many data breaches are due to poor or a lack of physical measures.

When you’re looking at workplace security, don’t just focus on the digital. To make your business truly impregnable, you need to have physical measures in place, too.

One way to do so is with good visitor check-in software, such as ALICE.

Are you interested in hearing more? Here are all the ways that ALICE can help with lobby security at your place of business.

Visitor Detection

When people walk into your lobby, the motion detection technology on ALICE detects and greets them with a prerecorded welcome video. This will help you account for everyone that comes through your workplace, without anyone slipping through the cracks.

What’s great is you can set the sensitivity so ALICE can recognize people either at a close range or from across the room. That way, if your employees are coming in and out of a certain area, it won’t keep setting off ALICE with the prerecorded videos.

If you really want security to be tight, ALICE can take a picture of every guest it greets.

Remotely Supervise Your Lobby

Staff can a live video stream of the lobby, which means staff can supervise the front safely and remotely. 

If needed, your employees can connect a 2-way video call through ALICE to the guests. Visitors can also contact your employees through the system, without your team members having to leave their work desks.

Guest Scheduling

Your employees can schedule visitors straight from MS Outlook or Google Calendar. In fact, they can upload an entire list by importing it from a spreadsheet, which can save them a significant amount of time. This feature also allows you to do group check-ins.

Once the guests are put into ALICE’s system, they’ll be emailed a unique code so they can fill out their information before they check in at the visitor kiosk. This added step for security can weed out unwanted guests from your business.

Automatic Check-in and Check-Out System

After guests have been greeted by ALICE upon walking in, they can then check in by themselves. There’s no need for a guard to check people in and verify visitor identities, as ALICE will do this for you. 

The system can require your visitors to scan their driver’s licenses for identity verification. This can deter criminals from posing as someone they’re really not.

There’s also a Visitor Screening feature that connects with the US Consolidated Screening list. You can also set up your own blacklists with private screening. If someone tries to check-in and they’re on any of these lists, ALICE will notify the appropriate employee and also prevent the guest from completing self-check-in.

If visitors haven’t already scheduled an appointment with your business, they can then check in with ALICE. You can require them to input their whole name, organization, contact number, as well as scan their driver’s licenses.

You can also set custom fields if you need upgraded security for them. For instance, you can also add fields for Email Addresses and Citizenship requirements.

Automatic Visitor Badge Printouts

Without a visitor badge, it can be easy for guests to wander around the premises, pretending to be an employee. This is especially true if your workplace is large and it isn’t uncommon for employees to not know who else works on other floors.

After your guests have checked in, ALICE will print out self-adhesive visitors’ badges for each person. They can include things like the person’s name, organization, check-in date/time, and photo. The guests are then expected to wear them at all times so it’s clear they’re not employees.

Guest Activity Reports

Remember how we said it’s very easy for guests to wander off and pretend to be an employee? ALICE mitigates that by keeping detailed guest activity reports.

Even if you manage to lose track of a visitor, ALICE will have records that’ll tell you whom they checked in with and who was responsible for them.

Face Mask and Temperature Checks

Considering we’re going through a pandemic, there’s more than 1 type of lobby security to worry about. Not only do you have to keep unscrupulous characters out, but also those who might infect your workplace.

If you have a mask mandate in your business, then ALICE can check that all visitors are wearing face masks. If they’re not, then ALICE will notify them that they need to put one in before entering.

In addition, ALICE has a thermal camera that can scan visitors and determine whether or not they’re feverish. If they are, they won’t be able to complete the check-in process.

Lastly, ALICE can be programmed to give guests health questionnaires so you can be extra sure that you’re not inviting in any people that are ill.

Upgrade Your Lobby Security With ALICE

As you can see, ALICE can do a lot for lobby security. Not only can it check-in and keep track of visitors, but it can also prevent check-in attempts if they’re on any blacklists. Plus, this software can generate guest activity reports, create visitor badges, verify adherence to face mask policies, check temperatures, and more.

So if you’ve been wanting to upgrade your lobby security and need a better visitor receptionist, ALICE is ideal for your workplace!
