How to Install a Door Monitoring System

Read Time:2 Minute, 30 Second

A door monitoring system is a device that is used to detect if a door is open or closed by a wrong user. A door monitoring system consists of a locking cylinder with a door monitoring function, and a corresponding software solution. The cylinder is fitted with a sensor, which reliably detects whether the door is closed or opened. The system can also log incidents and states, and send this information over a network. An in-house door monitoring system can be installed in just a few minutes.

The door monitor can be set to detect unauthorized opening and close the door remotely. It also has an audio system and an optical system to alert people to any unauthorized entry. A door monitoring system can also be configured to send alerts when a door is left open for an extended period. Depending on the situation, the door monitoring system can even be networked to send a central alarm. Moreover, it can be combined with a handle monitoring system to include a pre-alarm function.

An automated door monitoring system is a must-have part of an integrated security solution. Even if a building is equipped with an expensive card access control system, it is ineffective for keeping doors closed without a card. It will also not stop people from walking in freely and opening doors that were propped open. A door monitoring system will greatly improve the security of the building and provide peace of mind that all doors are being used as they are meant to be used.

Installing a door monitoring system is surprisingly simple. The sensors are easily attached to the door by strong adhesive. However, make sure they are parallel to one another so that they do not create a circuit. If you are planning to install a door monitoring system recessed into a wall, you will have to use a large drill bit and drill slowly. Then, drill into the wall or ceiling until you have a hole big enough to install the door monitoring system.

Some people are concerned about how long it will take for the system to detect the motion of a person approaching the door. However, it is important to remember that a DFO alarm will be activated if the door is opened by someone who does not have a card or access privileges. For these reasons, it is vital that you install a door monitoring system that uses this technology. This way, you can be sure that your home is safe at all times.

A watertight door monitoring system helps ensure the integrity of a vessel by continuously monitoring the status of all watertight doors. The system is integrated into a PC network, so the Rig Manager can monitor the status of all doors in real-time. The system also provides local indication and audible alarms at the individual doors. Depending on your needs, the door monitoring system can be standalone or integrated into a vessel’s management system.
