Can you imagine having full control in real time of all access points in your hotel, leaving no room for incidents or errors?
From lost or copied keys to cloned magnetic cards or leaked codes, the challenges today for security directors of tourist accommodation centres are enormous; especially when a lack of traceability prevents a quick reaction to any incident.
The good news is that now there is a solution within your reach: Omnitec technology can provide you with continuous, smart and, best of all, hassle-free access audit trails for your hotel.
This article explains everything about 24/7 access audit logs for hotels.
What are 24/7 access audit logs and why are they critical in 2025?
Nowadays, hotel security can no longer rely on traditional methods. Threats can now be digital as well as physical; so older systems based on physical keys or basic magnetic cards are now obsolete. They simply no longer meet our needs.
To comply with all current security regulations, ensure insurance coverage in the event of an incident, and, above all, provide confidence to guests in 2025, it is essential to have real-time access audit logs, supported by smart systems based on Bluetooth locks, connected safes or the cloud.
Limitations of traditional systems
Perhaps some of the following mentioned at the beginning are familiar to you:
- Physical keys that get lost or are copied.
- Magnetic cards that are easy and cheap to clone.
- Conventional safes with static codes that can be leaked.
These can all create huge loopholes in hotel security; especially, if it's hard to find out who last accessed a specific room or safe, when and for how long.
In other words, without a 24/7 audit trail, there is always uncertainty and a lack of security.
The Omnitec ecosystem for complete traceability
We at Omnitec have been protecting hotels around the world for more than 15 years and our products are present in over 10,000 establishments.
Our proposal for a real and continuous hotel access audit is based on a modular technological ecosystem that adapts to every need.
Let's take a closer look at what it consists of:
EVO and OS Slim smart locks
Our electronic lock range includes the EVO and OS SLIM Bluetooth hotel locks, which let you record every attempt to access the different areas in your hotel.
Both models record all openings in real time, whether from a mobile or MiFare card. Plus, their IP56 protection ratings mean our locks deliver reliable performance at all times.
EXO Safes: Proactive security
Then there are our Bluetooth hotel safes, such as the EXO range, which take protection a step further, owing to their:
- Guest-Presence function: Blocks opening of the safe if the guest does not open the room.
- Random master code: Each emergency override generates a different code, preventing leaks or unauthorised access.
Gateways for cloud connection
Real-time audit trails are achieved via Omnitec gateways, which securely connect locks and safes to the cloud.
This means you can monitor access from anywhere, without having to wait around or be on-site.
If you're not familiar with what a gateway is, read our article on the subject.
OS ACCESS + UpKey: the operations centre
Finally, the OS ACCESS software, together with our UpKey access control app, acts as the nerve centre of the entire system.
Helping you to:
- View detailed audit reports.
- Manage permissions or denials in real time.
All from an intuitive dashboard, designed by Omnitec to make it easy for any security manager.
