Abstract
The present disclosure presents wall-mounted near field communication systems and related methods. One such system comprises a sign assembly having a near field communication (NFC) tag configured to determine if the NFC tag has been tampered with. A mobile phone may connect with the NFC tag. If the exchange is valid and the NFC tag has not been tampered with, the system may perform an action such as allowing building access, connecting the mobile device to a resident's device, etc. If the NFC tag has been tampered with, the system may prevent building access or the like.
