In some embodiments, the security system 200 may include wireless communications for facilitating communication between its various components (e.g., electronic locks 254, programming stations, and/or keys 20, 120) and/or one or more remote devices 250. For example, FIG. 19 shows that the security system may include a monitoring device 252 configured to communicate with one or more electronic locks, keys, and a remote device 250. The monitoring device 252 may be any device (e.g., a controller, hub, gateway, computer, server, and/or cloud device) configured to communicate with one or more electronic locks and/or keys. For instance, the monitoring device 252 may be a hub configured to communicate with a plurality of electronic locks and/or keys. In other cases, the monitoring device 252 may be a computer (e.g., tablet, laptop, or desktop computer) that is configured to communicate with one or more electronic locks and/or keys and/or one or more hubs 256 to facilitate data transfer. It is understood that any number of monitoring devices 252 may be employed in the system. The electronic locks, keys, and/or the monitoring device 252 may include wireless communications circuitry for communicating with one another using any desired communications protocol (e.g., Bluetooth, LoRa, Wi-Fi, radiofrequency, etc.). The electronic locks, keys, and monitoring device 252 may be located remotely from one another (e.g., the electronic locks may be located in a data center, while the monitoring device may be at a location that is not in the data center). In some cases, the monitoring device 252 may be located at some fixed location in proximity to one or more electronic locks (e.g., attached to a server rack). In other instances, the electronic locks and/or keys and the monitoring device 252 may communicate over a cloud network. In some embodiments, the electronic locks and the monitoring device 18 are electrically connected via hard wiring, and the monitoring device may have wireless communications circuitry for communicating with other monitoring devices or remote devices 250.
