Vizpin is a cloud-based access control system that enables you to control entry to doors, gates, cabinets, garages, and other lockable items using your mobile phone or fob containing a Smartkey code. The system uses a mobile phone as a controller and Bluetooth to control the locking device. This means that a user does not need to be connected to the internet to use the system. The company also offers a fob for users that do not have a mobile phone.
Vizpin is a simple and inexpensive solution for access security because it does not require access control cards or additional hardware and software and can be implemented at a fraction of the cost of other solutions. The system operates using Bluetooth to network with access controllers; these are proximity readers that require the correct Smartkey to provide access. When a user comes within range of the entryway they simply press a button on their smartphone or fob to send the Smartkey and access is granted.
The access controller has a long-range and can be mounted securely anywhere in a wide range of the entryway being controlled. This means that it cannot be easily vandalized and will not be visible to criminals. The company also provides a solar-powered option for the controller where access to electrical wiring is unavailable.
Access can be controlled in multiple ways using the Vizpin SMART app (available for both Android and iPhone based smartphones) and all access events are recorded in a cloud-based database. The administrator of the app can send users keys to provide access on a permanent, one-off or scheduled basis (for example, allow access only during working hours). These keys are secured using features such as strong double encryption and a 128-bit AES through the company’s proprietary algorithm.
Vizpin is a great solution when there is a high turnover of users to a secured location. Access keys can be granted and revoked whenever required through the cloud-based portal that provides constant monitoring and usage statistics. This means that you can offer flexible access to employees, vendors, and one-off users simply by sending them a key through their phones and verify when they were used.
The app displays all Smartkeys that have been issued, to whom, the locations in which they are used, and usage data. It includes alarms that notify the administrator and others when access was attempted unsuccessfully. Because Vizpin is a contactless solution it is particularly attractive in the current environment.
