1. An access management and reporting system comprising:

  • a keysafe that is located outside of a building, the keysafe comprising;

    a user input device configured to receive user input of a passcode;

    a housing configured to secure a physical key that unlocks and locks a physical door of an entrance to the building;

    a communication module configured to perform two-way communication over a short-range wireless communication protocol; and

    a processor that is configured to control the housing to allow access to the physical key secured within the housing based on entry of a proper passcode through the user input device;

    a security system configured to monitor the building;

    a communication system that is located within the building, that is configured to perform, over the short-range wireless communication protocol, two-way communication with the communication module of the keysafe, and that is configured to perform two-way communication over a long-range communication protocol; and

    a server that is located remote from the building and the keysafe, that is configured to perform, over the long-range communication protocol, two-way communication with the communication system located within the building, that is configured to manage access to the keysafe, and that is configured to handle reporting related to access of the keysafe,wherein the processor of the keysafe is configured to control the housing to allow access to the physical key secured within the housing based on entry of a proper passcode through the user input device;

    wherein the communication system is configured to;

    detect that the proper passcode has been entered through the user input device to open the keysafe, andbased on the detection that the proper passcode has been entered through the user input device to open the keysafe;

    control the security system to perform an operation related to a valid keysafe opening; and

    send, over the long-range communication protocol to the server, a report that indicates the keysafe has been opened and that indicates the proper passcode used to open the keysafe;

    wherein the security system is configured to perform the operation related to the valid keysafe opening based on the controlling; and

    wherein the server is configured to;

    receive, from the communication system over the long-range communication protocol, the report that indicates the keysafe has been opened and that indicates the new passcode used to open the keysafe, andstore, in electronic storage, the report received from the communication system.
