Control without confusion

The right people should have the right access—without giving everyone everything.

Modern systems can support owners, families, board members, property managers, employees, guards, vendors, monitoring operators, and service professionals. Clear roles keep administration practical and sensitive functions controlled.

How you’ll control your system

One clear operating plan—even when the property uses more than one platform.

Three Factor Security works across established camera, alarm, access, intercom, identity, network, storage, and monitoring platforms. Exact functions vary by selected equipment, licensing, subscriptions, connectivity, and project scope.

01

Mobile & desktop access

Use supported apps or browser interfaces to reach approved sites and functions without relying on one shared workstation.

02

Live & recorded video

View approved cameras, search recorded events, review timelines, and confirm recording health where the platform supports it.

03

Individual user accounts

Give owners, board members, employees, residents, guards, and vendors their own accounts instead of sharing credentials.

04

Role-based permissions

Limit each user by property, camera, door, alarm, schedule, export right, or administrative responsibility.

05

Door & gate control

Manage supported credentials, schedules, visitor entry, remote release, and access history from authorized interfaces.

06

Alarm management

Use supported controls for arming, disarming, notifications, zones, user codes, and event review according to assigned responsibility.

07

Video export & documentation

Preserve approved clips, event details, and operational records with a process for sensitive evidence and external sharing.

08

System-health notifications

Receive available alerts for device, recording, storage, network, battery, or communication issues before they become long-term gaps.

Available controls are confirmed during system design and handoff. The customer receives the applications, accounts, permissions, documentation, and training included in the approved scope.

Permission lifecycle

Plan access, train users, and remove it when responsibilities change.

Available roles and audit features vary by platform. Final permissions are configured around supported capabilities and customer-approved responsibilities.

  1. 01

    Identify administrators

    Name the people responsible for the system, account recovery, user approval, platform billing, settings, service authorization, and incident exports.

  2. 02

    Define roles

    Separate full administration from daily viewing, arming, unlocking, credential use, report review, exports, and maintenance access.

  3. 03

    Limit by site & function

    Give each person only the locations, cameras, doors, alarms, schedules, and actions required for their responsibility.

  4. 04

    Train authorized users

    Review daily operation, secure accounts, notifications, playback, exports, alarm handling, visitor access, escalation, and service intake.

  5. 05

    Review & remove

    Audit users and shared access after staffing, board, tenant, vendor, property-management, ownership, or monitoring changes.

Example permission matrix

A practical starting point for homes, boards, and operating teams.

Use the matrix to define the principle of access. Exact permissions depend on the selected camera, alarm, access, intercom, identity, monitoring, and multi-site platforms.

Administrator checklist

Review these controls during handoff and at least whenever responsibilities change.

  • Primary and backup administrators are named
  • Unique individual accounts are used where supported
  • Multifactor authentication is enabled where available
  • Shared logins, stale users, former employees, prior board members, and expired vendors are removed
  • Sites, cameras, doors, exports, credentials, schedules, and configuration rights match each role
  • Account recovery, monitoring contacts, alarm call lists, and emergency escalation are current
  • System changes and sensitive exports follow the organization’s documentation policy

Privacy is shaped during configuration, not added later.

Permissions, retention, export access, notifications, and camera views are reviewed as part of a responsible system setup and documented handoff.
