There are many reasons why smartphone-based access systems make sense and property managers are moving away from traditional cards and fobs. But, despite all the benefits inherent in using smartphones to provide access credentials, there is one major problem with most systems: Users are locked out when their Wifi or cell network is not working. Take a look a look at traditional access control with smartphones – this is what a typical set up looks like:
Now take a look at the VIZpin setup:
See the difference?
VIZpin Controllers, which are mounted on the safe side of the door, have built in long-range Bluetooth Readers. The only time a network is required is when the system is initially set up. After a user has downloaded the VIZpin SMART app and VIZpin has generated a key unique to that smartphone, the key remains on the phone. From then on, the VIZpin Controller can authenticate the user and grant access with no need for a network. And it’s all managed in the cloud.
What does this mean for VIZpin users:
Convenient and reliable access for users
Eliminates the hassle and cost of internet connectivity for the property manager
Access Control can be used at locations where networks are unavailable/unreliable
