Touch-Free Security

Use your Owen security system without touching it

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an immediate need to avoid touching surfaces or spreading germs. Are your employees concerned about using the business’ commonly touched surfaces? Phones, keyboards, doorhandles, and POS systems are first to mind when considering high-traffic areas for germs, but has anyone considered the security systems’ keypad? WE HAVE!

Owen Security Solutions systems feature several ways to arm and disarm your system without ever touching the keypad!

Touchless Keypads

Several Owen Security Solutions exclusive keypads are equipped with code-less arming and disarming features, allowing your employees to protect your business without touching the keypad to enter codes. These built-in proximity readers allow users to forego the commonly-used keypads, and instead present programmable credentials, including cards, fobs, or our exclusive Prox Patch adhesive “button”, to arm or disarm the system. 

Transmitters

For touch-less arming and disarming, as well as access control features, Owen Security offers a wireless key fob transmitter with a built-in proximity credential is the perfect solution! At home and work, credentials are the perfect tool to give employees, babysitters, after-hours cleaning services, repairmen, and others a touch-less way to interact with your keypad. This feature can also be programmed for use as a panic button to silently signal emergencies.

Remote Programming for Social Distancing

Owen Security makes it easy to provide credentials to your employees and vendors while respecting social distancing. We can show you how easy it can be to simply program the user codes and drop their credentials in the mail! With very little training, any customer can begin using their system’s credential features right away and enjoy the ability to manage their systems without any contact!

Owen Security Solutions also offers other contactless solutions that do not require an physical credential, but, instead, allows you to control your system from your mobile device, no matter where you are!

Control Your Alarm System Using Siri® 

When you need to arm or disarm your system, have Siri do it for you! With the Owen Security Virtual Keypad app, you can use Siri to arm and disarm your system as well as activate favorites like locks, lights and thermostats. You can even program geofences on your phone to trigger Favorites based on the location of your cell phone. Using a voice-controlled smart assistant as a shortcut to manage routine system features is not only less hassle, quick, and easy, it is also a way to avoid contact with another surface often touched by others.

These wonderful features have been integrated into our products and, as everyone continues to do their part in eliminating the spreading of germs and COVID-19, prevent the possibility of spreading germs to employees or loved ones who also use the home or business protection systems.
