Rently Expands Smart Access Ecosystem With Launch of Integrated Security and Surveillance Solutions

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rently, the leader in self-touring, smart access, and home automation solutions for the rental industry, today announced the expansion of its smart access ecosystem with a new line of security and surveillance solutions. Security cameras strategically positioned throughout multifamily complexes are a must to create safer communities, as they provide a sense of security to residents, help to boost occupancy rates and decrease turnover, and most importantly, help deter crime and reduce risks.

By integrating surveillance into our smart home platform, we’re empowering property managers to proactively protect their communities while streamlining operations and boosting resident satisfaction.

Apartments often face higher security risks than single-family homes, requiring more than standard locks and alarms. Rently’s security solutions are designed to address these needs with around-the-clock monitoring capabilities for units, community entrances, common areas, amenity spaces and parking facilities, giving property managers greater visibility, control and peace of mind. Rently’s advanced security cameras also seamlessly integrate with its access control solution for instant video playback of access activity.

Rently already had a line of video doorbells for unit monitoring, with this expansion, Rently extends monitoring to the community and common areas with high-performance cameras, including a 4MP and 8MP Perimeter Camera and License Plate Recognition (LPR) Camera. These cameras integrate directly with Rently’s access control ecosystem, including the Rently Access Panel with Intercom, allowing site teams to view real-time and historical video footage associated with specific entry events all from a single platform.

“Security and access control are no longer separate systems, but two sides of the same coin,” said Clark Li, CTO & Co-Founder of Rently. “By integrating surveillance into our smart home platform, we’re empowering property managers to proactively protect their communities while streamlining operations and boosting resident satisfaction.”

Key Features Include:

• Seamless Integration with Rently’s Smart Home Platform: Surveillance clips are linked to access entry events in Rently’s Manager Portal, enabling site teams to review video footage directly from the property activity logs.
• 4MP & 8MP Perimeter Cameras: Fixed dome cameras feature 4K full-color video day or night, smart intrusion detection, cross line detection, corridor mode, 120db WDR, with built-in mic and vandal/weather resistance (IP67/IK10 rated).
• License Plate Recognition (LPR) Camera: Enables automated vehicle access by verifying license plates against an approved resident list, improving entry efficiency and eliminating the need for physical tags or codes.
• Network Video Recorder (NVR): Provides scalable local video storage with support for up to 64 channels and 16TB of capacity, allowing properties to store up to 83 days of continuous footage from eight cameras.

When paired with the Rently Access Panel with Intercom, property managers can provide voice and video verification at entrances, grant time-limited visitor access and oversee entry into amenity spaces, elevators and garages. From the same platform, managers can monitor common areas like gyms, pools and mailrooms using strategically placed cameras, ensuring that every inch of the property is protected.

“Multifamily operators shouldn’t have to juggle multiple systems just to keep their communities secure,” said Li. “With a more integrated approach, they can now manage smart locks, entry-points visitor access and surveillance all from one dashboard.”

Rently’s security camera line is now available for multifamily communities nationwide. Operators can choose from standalone camera solutions or deploy them as part of Rently’s full property automation and access ecosystem.
