Multifamily Residential Security Solutions

ICT delivers unified access control and building management for multifamily residential properties — streamlined tenant onboarding, mobile credentials, and centralized portfolio oversight.

Why choose ICT for multifamily residential security

Multifamily residential properties must balance the security expectations of hundreds of tenants with the operational efficiency property managers need to run buildings smoothly. ICT's Protege platform delivers a unified security and building management solution purpose-built for the scale and complexity of modern residential communities.

Streamlined tenant onboarding and offboarding

Issue, update, and revoke credentials instantly as tenants move in and out. Eliminate the cost and risk of physical key management with digital credentials that can be managed remotely and deactivated the moment a lease ends.

Mobile credentials and smartphone access

Offer residents the convenience of unlocking doors, gates, and amenities with their smartphones. Mobile credentials eliminate lost key cards, reduce replacement costs, and provide a modern access experience that tenants expect.

Visitor and delivery management

Allow residents to grant temporary access to guests, service providers, and delivery personnel through a managed visitor system. Set time-limited permissions and receive notifications when visitors arrive, improving convenience while maintaining building security.

Common area and amenity control

Govern access to gyms, pools, rooftops, parking garages, and shared spaces with schedules and permissions tied to each resident's lease.

Multi-property centralized management

Oversee security across an entire residential portfolio from one platform, with role-based administration for property managers and head offices.
