Hello, I'm another who likes Paxton locks, they come with the option of a video feed which records when the lock is used. I prefer fobs to codes as codes get shared, which is not ideal. But anything that will let you cancel, reformat, and replace fobs, as well as record trials and entries as evidence that entry was thwarted or repeated when not allowed is good.

Hi Tasha,
Sorry to hear about the intruders, that must have been quite frightening.
As you know, we have a keyfob system in Winchester so that wardens and tenants are able to access the house out of hours, with a back-up code just in case. I feel it works quite well.
Something we have recently purchased is a video doorbell, which was a one-off charge of about £60 in the sale. The downside is it's an Amazon product, but the upsides include monthly savings and a deterrent effect because we could be watching/recording what's happening by our front gate at any time.
Best wishes, Anna

Dear Friends
In light of the recent thread about security etc, and another intruder here a week last Saturday, Lancaster Friends have decided its time to investigate a door entry security system. Has anyone had a new system installed recently and if so do you have any insights that would be helpful to us?
We are not staffed all the time we're open, which leaves users, staff, and the building vulnerable. We would like to have a system that allows the front door to be kept locked and hirers given codes that are individual to them, changeable, time sensitive, and the potential for staff and volunteers to have a 'dongle' allow easy access. Finances allowing, it would be even better if there were security cameras as part of the system, but not essential. I'm probably using all the wrong words as I'm 'running on empty' already this week, but hopefully you'll understand the gist.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or insights would be very much appreciated.
All the best
Tasha
