Apartment Complex Security Systems in Austin

For owners and property managers of multifamily residential buildings, security and protecting tenants is an essential part of managing your property. Apartment complex security depends on a well designed and integrated system that both keeps residents safe and makes their lives easier, without compromising their privacy.

At TriStar Commercial, our multifamily residential security solutions are perfect for any size Austin apartment complex—because we tailor our services according to the size of your property, your security needs, and your budget.

Most apartment complex security systems include perimeter access control using security gates and card access to public areas and a well placed video surveillance camera network.

Why Invest in Apartment Complex Security?

Apartment complex security can limit personal risk to tenants and provide apartment management with protection against theft and vandalism. It can also help eliminate the threat of lawsuits surrounding liability and security negligence if security measures are found to be inadequate in the face of threats. Apartment owners have been on the losing end of many lawsuits in recent years due to inadequate or non-functioning security systems.

By investing in security measures for your apartment complex, you can protect your residents, yourself, and your property. A simple upfront investment of a comprehensive security system will attract higher-quality tenants while protecting yourself from liability—and deterring crime on your property.

Security Cameras & Video Surveillance

In order to provide the security your facility needs and at the same time protect tenant’s rights to privacy, a well designed video surveillance system is required. Cameras should be located in public areas such as pools, parking lots, laundry rooms, community buildings and playground areas. Coverage of individual tenant entrance doors should be avoided, but main, side, and rear entrances to any apartment complex or building should be monitored. Digital camera systems including a network video recorder can be set up to allow remote viewing and constant online monitoring.

When it comes to security cameras for apartment complex security, our team at TriStar Commercial works with a wide range of products to suit your needs, including:

  • Box Cameras
  • Bullet Cameras
  • Dome Security Cameras

Access Control Solutions a person scans a keyfob, a common method of access control used in Austin

Knowing who comes and who goes from your property—including visitors, tenants, delivery personnel, and more—is essential to the security of any apartment complex or multifamily property. Professional access control solutions enable you to monitor access from anywhere, and modern solutions are able to blend superior security with convenience so that residents are never inhibited from entering their own property.

Key fobs and cards are a popular entry solution for residents of apartment buildings, while call boxes can enable residents to permit entry to known visitors.
