ESCC Provides New Mobile Access to Fitness Centers Located in The Heart of Manhattan

  • Aug 02, 2016

Electronic Security and Communications Corporation (ESCC) announced its involvement in the design and implementation of new mobile access technology at multiple luxury buildings owned by Fetner Properties located in NYC. Fetner Properties believes firmly in enhancing the resident experience within their facilities and looked to ESCC to accomplish this with recommendations on new innovations within the security and communications industry. Fetner Properties is a full-service, real estate company specializing in developing, owning, operating and financing world-class developments. Through three generations of family ownership, it has become one of the most respected real estate developers in New York real estate by providing great homes for its residents and high-quality environments for its retail tenants. For over 20 years, ESCC has been a trusted advisor and vendor for Fetner Properties, which made it an easy choice to include ESCC when it came time to renovate the fitness centers and common areas at the Victory and Chesapeake buildings.

“ESCC understands that we now live in a mobile world and how important it is to provide a solution that allows clients to use their phone remotely to gain access to the fitness center. With this in mind, ESCC designed a centrally managed system that no longer required residents to enroll in person, thus saving time and money for both Fetner Properties and its clients,” states Robert Horowitz, President at ESCC. “We look forward to future projects with Fetner Properties and being their right hand in advising on security and communication issues that arise in the future.”

ESCC worked closely with the management team at Fetner Properties to successfully implement new technology at their buildings. “It was imperative for us to have one centralized system to manage our security needs.  This new web-based software system that ESCC installed accomplished this and helped us reduce overhead costs.” states Daniela Lucchetto, Senior Vice President, Property Management at Fetner Properties. “ESCC is our trusted resource to help enhance our security and communications at our residential buildings and the quality of life for our residents/clients.”

ESCC’s turnkey approach includes design consultants to assess client needs and prepare in-depth proposals, technical design staff to develop detailed drawings, project managers and installation personnel to coordinate and bring the solution to life, management consultants to train end users on system operations, and service consultants to make sure systems render long-term results. The company continues to make a huge impact on the high-rise residential industry and has taken Integration Beyond Expectation™ with its focus on developing the right designs and solutions for its customers.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
