| Is Remote Control Access to Your
Parking Area as Secure as You Think?
Remote
control transmitters can be deceiving.
Remote
control over the door or gate looks
secure – but it is not. The weakness
is in the wireless technology used for most
remote controls. Believe it or not,
new cars come equipped with a system that
can learn and transmit the security codes
used by wireless garage-door openers.
It's a convenience feature that saves the
car owner having to use a remote in the future.
But for the owners of multi-tenant or commercial
parking facilities, it's the equivalent of
a robot "hacker" in the car.
The system is just as capable of learning
from the remotes they provide to tenants.
Add
this to the long-standing problem of "code
grabbing" (intercepting and cloning your
codes) by malicious intruders, and you face
multiple risks: vehicle theft or damage, the
potential for personal injury to tenants and
customers, and financial loss if parking fees
are part of a facility's revenue stream.
What
can be done to solve this technology problem?
We believe there's only one right answer:
better technology.
Technology Solutions
to Technology Problems - PINs That Cannot
be "Cloned"
 For commercial
and multi-tenant facilities, Access Controls
provides remote
control transmitters with a microchip containing a
unique Personal Identification Number that
cannot be "learned" by a vehicle's
built-in transmitter or be intercepted by
code-grabbing equipment. As part of
a computer-based access control system (such
as the ECS System from ACI), the receiver verifies
that the signal comes from one of the PINs
in its database before signaling the door
or gate to open. The result is absolute
assurance that only original transmitters
provided to authorized users can provide entry to the parking area.
