Visitor Aware is a visitor management application that improves security protocols as well as the overall time needed to check visitors in and out of privileged access locations such as schools, offices, and assisted living facilities with no receptionist required! IMMEDIATE SIGN IN Government-issued identification cards and photos are captured in real-time (no additional hardware required), ensuring that staff have the most up-to-date visitor information and can immediately identify visitors. Repeat visitors may simply check-in by indicating their destination and taking a photo of themselves, our system takes care of the matching and identification. IDENTIFICATION BADGES Visitor badges can be automatically printed at successful check-in in order to provide staff with immediate identification of visitors as well as their intended destination. STUDENT/RESIDENT SIGN OUT Visitor Aware can also be used to check residents and/or students out of locations through the "Sign Out" feature; ensuring that all relevant information is collected and that students/residents are accounted for, and securely tracked. WEB MANAGED The application software works in conjunction with the web dashboard to compile a logbook of all relevant visitor information including dates, times, and destinations. Visitors may be also assigned to customized visitor types for faster filtering and searching. VISITOR SCREENING If enabled through the web dashboard, visitors can automatically be screened at check-in with national sex offender registries (US Only), as well as US and International watchlists. Matches on screening lists prompt the visitor to contact a staff member, and automatically notify office personnel of potential threats immediately via SMS and Email notifications. WATCHLISTS AND BANNED VISITORS Unwanted visitors may be manually banned and attempts to check in automatically notify office personnel of an access attempt immediately. This application requires a Visitor Aware account. For more detailed information, please visit Singlewire's Visitor Aware page.
