The power of using color for better visitor security
There’s nothing like adding a little COLOR to your visitor badges to make them stand out … and to help your staff quickly see what kind of visitor is approaching them in the hall.
THRESHOLD will be closed December 25th – December 27th and January 1st. Happy Holidays!
There’s nothing like adding a little COLOR to your visitor badges to make them stand out … and to help your staff quickly see what kind of visitor is approaching them in the hall.
Organizations that use expiring visitor badges give their sign-in process an extra layer of security. That’s because, with “expiring technology,” these badges change color overnight. They may be valid today, but they become void tomorrow.
When you see a visitor in your building, how do you know they are authorized to be there? Even if they’re wearing a visitor badge, how can you tell they signed in today? Maybe this person was here before, or maybe they found a used badge outside.
It was always difficult to identify exactly who was in your facility, because people are coming in and out, through a variety of different entrances and exits, including the loading dock. But, by mid-2020, COVID-19 did what legions of security professionals couldn’t – it made everyone aware of who was around them, and who was in their facility at any point in time.
In these COVID-19 times, every facility needs to document who is in their buildings. This includes visitors and staff. Our new Confidential Visitor Sign-In Book with Contact Tracing is an effective and inexpensive way to document all people who enter a building.
“eVisitor” is THRESHOLD’s visitor management software that makes it easy to sign in visitors by keyboard or driver’s license reader, take a photo, print a badge, keep a visitor log, and issue many different kinds of reports.
These are some extraordinary times we are living in. A few months ago, no one in America knew what COVID-19 was. In a short period of time, the virus has crashed economies, broken healthcare systems, filled hospitals, and emptied public spaces.
Visitor Management Systems (VMS) are an electronic version of the visitor sign-in sheet or visitor log book that is commonly used at many facilities. Electronic visitor management systems make the visitor sign-in process more efficient and provide an improved ability to track visitors.
Visitor management refers to tracking the usage of a public building or site. A popular tactic to track and identify visitors that come to a facility is to document their presence and issue a visitor badge to wear.

The Red Flag feature has been improved! Now you can set your system to not print a badge for any visitor record that has been previously marked with a Red Flag. The attendant will be prompted to redirect the visitor according to your security protocol.
It’s easy and free to activate this feature. Simply call us and ask for “Red Flag, No Badge” to be turned on. Once it’s on, the above pop-up will come up when a red flagged visitor comes back. No badge will print and the attendant will need to follow the facility’s policy for handling red flagged visitors.
The flags and notes only show to the desk attendant, not the visitor.
Please contact eVisitor Support with any questions on how to use Flags in your system.
