Your home access card is expensive

In recent days, in a community forum, the owners have condemned high-priced access control cards. They believe that only a few yuan of access control IC card for the fee is 50 yuan, which is really extravagant! In this regard, the property company responded that access card charges belong to the entire system during the late period of access control upgrade, not just the card itself, such as the recent increase in the camera, these are included in the charges.

The owner of the community said that he had eight access control cards for his family. The two sons, daughter-in-laws, and relatives had all done and spent 400 yuan. Recently, her son’s wallet was stolen, and the access control card was not available. He had to pay 50 yuan again, otherwise he could not enter the community. "Strongly protest against high-priced access cards." For this matter, the owner "Agassi" also sent a written submission specifically for the property management. In his submission, he wrote: The current charge is handled at 50 yuan. The charge is obviously too high. A reasonable charge should be between 10 and 20 yuan. The charge for the access control system can only be taken from the owner and used in the system. , should not become a means of property accumulation.

According to Nandu reporters, the charges for residential access control cards are mostly between 10-20 yuan. “Agassi” said that the investment in the access control system is a relatively low threshold industry. The system’s selling price is not high and does not require high fees to maintain. At the same time, according to the guidance of the Price Bureau on property charges, whether it needs 50 yuan Zhang, very doubtful.

In this regard, the property company staff responded that access control card charges belong to the entire system of upgrading the post-access control system, not just the cost of the card itself, such as the recent addition of surveillance cameras, which are included in the charges. And the property did not force the owners to purchase, they were free to choose and use the most primitive access card can also be out of the card on the paper posted the owner of the in and out of the card, this card is only 10 yuan fee. As long as the original card is presented, security will open the door. He added that it is recommended that you use the $50 access control card to make the community more convenient and safer.

■ Does the department need to approve the 50 RMB charge if it is reasonable to negotiate with the department? The relevant staff of the Panyu District Price Bureau stated that according to the “Notice on Regulating the Charges Related to the Intelligent Access Control System for Residential Properties in Residential Areas in Guangzhou” issued by Guangzhou in 2009, the newly-built commodity houses must be equipped with access control IC cards, and it is recommended to distribute to the owners at least 4 pieces. . The owner buys another access control card and the property can collect the cost of the work. As for the fees for the access control card in the future, the property and the owner will negotiate and need no approval from the price department. Whether the 50 yuan charge is reasonable cannot be evaluated because the charge for the access control card may not only involve materials, but also involve personnel, technology and other costs.
