Facade protection, compliance with municipal rules

The days of wall-drilled key safes are over

In Budapest city centre more and more condominium bylaws (SZMSZ) and local regulations ban key safes drilled in next to the gate and require owners to remove them.

Risky • banned in more and more places

Wall-mounted key safe

  • Drilling and vandalism: Ornate entrances and facades get drilled, and the authorities can fine the condominium as well.
  • Easy to break into: It can be prised open with a screwdriver in half a minute, and a stranger is in.
  • A code that never changes: Nobody changes a four-digit code for weeks or months, so former guests, couriers and strangers may all know it.
  • Constant friction with residents: Noisy tourists fumbling with a lockbox at the gate at night cause constant conflicts.

Where the bylaws (SZMSZ) forbid it, the condominium can also fine the owner.

Gate module with time-limited access

  • No drilling, concealed installation: We connect it to the existing gate opener or door entry system, and it can't be seen from the street.
  • Time-limited digital key: The guest opens the gate with a link or a phone call, only for the duration of their booking. If they call from the number given in the booking, the gate opens; from any other number, they use their booking code. There is no permanent code they could pass on.
  • Encrypted gate log: Every gate opening is logged to the second. When a complaint is investigated, the condominium's designated representative can view the log.
  • Peaceful coexistence: No more noise or key-hunting in front of the gate, and residents' keys and access cards keep working as before.

Works with most common door entry systems. The gate module needs an internet connection to open the gate, even for phone calls.

If we manage your property, there is no monthly fee. You only pay for the device and the installation, once.If you manage your property yourself, for the monthly fee you use the narrower, device-management version of our system; the full PMS is for our management clients.

  • Condominium gate openingThe guest opens the gate from their phone, with no key safe and no gate code.

Prevention, not frustration after the fact

Immediate intervention instead of watching video afterwards

After vandalism, noise or a break-in, it's no use for the building manager to review blurry footage. Our system signals in real time and the patrol takes action.

  • Event detection

    Camera: Reviewing afterwards, days or weeks later

    Red Raven: Instant alerts for intruders and noise in the stairwell

  • Response

    Camera: No intervention. Residents call the police if they hear it.

    Red Raven: 0–24-hour dispatch centre, patrol on site within minutes

  • Intruders

    Camera: The building manager doesn't even know about it.

    Red Raven: The gate sensor signals if several people enter on a single opening.

  • Noise in the corridor

    Camera: No noise detection.

    Red Raven: Noise measurement in the corridors, a warning, and a patrol if needed.

  • Who pays for damage?

    Camera: The condominium, from its renovation fund, unless it sues.

    Red Raven: We charge it to the guest's deposit or to the host's invoice, not to the condominium's.

Protection against intruders

Detection after the gate opens immediately signals if an uninvited group slips into the stairwell behind an authorised guest. The dispatcher can tell them to leave over the speaker.

Noise in the stairwell

The corridor sensors do not record speech, they only report sustained high noise levels. If a party starts in the stairwell, the dispatcher immediately sends the nearest patrol.

Sensors in the rented-out apartments

They monitor noise and occupancy without cameras, and give a warning inside the apartment before there's trouble in the stairwell.

Frequently asked questions

Condominium and legal questions

Does the gate module need the consent of every resident?

The module changes neither the door entry system nor the facade, so introducing it is simple. Whether the building manager can decide on it or it needs a vote at the residents' meeting is set out in the condominium's bylaws (SZMSZ).

How does someone without a smartphone get in?

Just as before. Keys, door entry systems and access cards keep working as they did. The module is just a separate, time-limited way in for guests, and doesn't change residents' habits.

Who pays if a patrol has to be called out because of a guest?

Not the condominium. We charge the cost to the rule-breaking guest's deposit or to the host's monthly invoice.

Is the system GDPR-compliant?

Yes. The corridor sensors record neither sound nor images. We store gate-opening times in an encrypted log, which the condominium's designated representative can access only when investigating an official or legal complaint.

Got a question as a building manager?Call our managing director directly; they handle condominium enquiries.
