In an ideal world, entry management would be easy. Tenants would always pick up their phones, on-site security guards would never let their attention drift, and the only visitors attempting to gain access would be utterly upright do-gooders. But we don’t live in an ideal world. Sometimes tenants can’t answer calls. Sometimes security guards let their attention wander. And sometimes the people trying to gain access to a property don’t have your best interest in mind.
That’s why the Ascent M2 exists. In a less-than-ideal world, it safeguards tenants and property managers alike.
What Is the Ascent M2?
The Ascent M2 is a next-generation, multi-tenant automated entry system. As a cellular access control system, the Ascent M2 has a massive advantage over traditional hardwired counterparts. Gone are the days of relying on wires and running a conventional phone line. With the Ascent M2, you have the freedom to install your system wherever you need it, as long as you have a cellular signal. With numerous features to aid both tenants and property managers, the Ascent M2 is the ideal choice. Standout features include:
- A large, seven-inch high-contrast color LCD screen for easy viewing day or night
- 4G cellular connectivity for alerts anytime or anywhere
- A high-definition camera that captures still photos
- A pair of Wiegand inputs
- A programmable keypad
- Compact dimensions (16.53” high by 10.50” wide by 4.74” deep)
- A shipping weight of 17 pounds
The Ascent M2 also integrates with the Summit Control™ app, allowing you to manage your cellular access control system right from your smartphone. The Summit Control app features a variety of tools which allow you to:
- Get push notifications of all activity
- Review activity logs
- Control and check the status of your gate(s) and entry door(s) and more!
These make for more than just a powerful piece of hardware. The Ascent M2 actively works to make the lives of tenants and property managers both safer and easier.
Simple Security: How the Ascent M2 Helps Tenants
No tenant wants to have a narrow response window, one that requires him or her to be virtually tethered to a phone in order to grant someone access to the property. Fortunately, the Ascent M2 helps ensure that you’ll always make a connection.
The Ascent M2 has rollover-calling capabilities and can forward a call to up to three phone numbers per address. What’s more, the system has a total storage capacity of 10,000 users, so it’s never too hard for a visitor to get in touch with someone.
Powerful Options: How the Ascent M2 Aids Property Managers
No manager wants to be on the job 24/7, but the demands of dealing with an increasingly connected and chaotic world mean that someone often has to be available at a moment’s notice. Fortunately, the Ascent M2 does much of the heavy lifting for you.
Not only can the Ascent M2 push or email status notifications, it can do both simultaneously. What’s more, cloud-based software solutions allow property managers to access important data from anywhere in the world just so long as they can connect to the internet via a web browser. Finally, the system can interface with two separate doors or gates for multiple points of ingress.
