The Compliance Core: Logs, Alerts, Permissions, and Video Verification
Operational compliance in multi‑tenant and commercial buildings hinges on four controls: audit logs, tamper/forced‑entry alerts, granular user permissions, and video verification. Fenda delivers these controls across portfolio SKUs (e.g., S60 Pro, X1, Y1, H2, H1 Deadbolt) with built‑in Wi‑Fi, AES‑128 encryption, app integrations (Tuya/360), HD peephole/cameras with two‑way talk, and anti‑tamper/pry alarms. Role‑based access (multiple admins, up to 250 users per device), automated and silent lock bodies, and mechanical key overrides ensure policy enforcement without disrupting operations. Backed by a CNAS‑accredited lab and products conforming to BHMA, CE (RED), UL 437, UL 10C, FCC, and Bluetooth SIG, Fenda gives procurement a verifiable, audit‑ready path to building‑level compliance.

What Goes Wrong Without These Controls
Buildings that deploy smart access without logs, alerts, permissions, and video face real risks: policy breaches are hard to prove, forced entries go undetected, user actions cannot be attributed, and tenant disputes escalate. The result is delayed lease acceptance, failed property audits, and higher incident costs. Procurement can avoid these outcomes by specifying the four controls as explicit requirements in RFPs and on‑site acceptance tests.
Audit Logs: The Backbone of Policy Proof
Direct answer
Fenda locks record access events, remote unlocks, and temporary code usage via app integrations, producing an auditable trail for multi‑tenant policy reviews and incident investigations.
Evidence and details
Devices such as Y1, X1, H2, and H1 Deadbolt integrate with Tuya to manage users, view real‑time activity, and preserve histories. FD‑S50 Pro also supports event capture and error‑attempt lockouts. Logs support attribution across up to 250 users with multiple admins.
