Generally, the Board may adopt rules and regulations which are voted on by the members of the Co Op. Today with modern technology photographs are taken to enter many large and small buildings. A drivers license is frequently scanned, the guests are presented with a "badge" often with their picture documenting who they are visiting. As a security precaution clearly documented photo identification of guests is a layer of protection and a deterring to unwanted persons in the Co-OP. However in residential buildings often a "buzzer" communication or door man communication will acknowledge that the resident has invited a guests into the building. Privacy is always desirable especially in ones home but today most Co -Op's and multi dwelling residences have extensive camera systems which record and store the comings and goings of residents, employees, visitors, guests, and service personnel.
