Custom access control
No passes. No keys. All online.
Microcontroller-based access controllers wired into the strikes on your doors. A web app for admins. NFC and QR for users, both routed through the user’s phone. The phone is the credential.
How it works
One controller. Several doors. One web app.
The controller is a small piece of hardware that sits in the comms cupboard or behind the door. Each door gets a relay output, and each relay drives an electric strike on the lock. One controller drives several doors at a time.
The controller talks to the cloud over the building’s network. The cloud holds the access policy and the audit log. The controller holds nothing. If it loses power, it loses no state. When it comes back, it picks up where it left off.
No proximity cards. No fobs. No PIN pads. The credential lives in the cloud, the door lives on the network, the user lives in the web app.
How users get in
Two ways to start. One way to authenticate.
NFC tag
A tag at the door. The user taps it with their phone. The tag opens the web app, the app authenticates them, and if they have access the door unlocks. The tag holds a URL, not a credential.
QR code
A code at the door. The user scans it with their phone. Same flow as the NFC tag, different starting point. Useful for visitors who haven't had a tag pointed out to them.
The phone is the credential
No cards to issue, no fobs to lose, no PIN pads to share. The user is identified once, in the app, with whatever authentication policy you want behind it. Revoke access in the admin and the next tap does nothing.
You get
- A controller wired to the strikes on your doors, several doors per controller
- A cloud admin app for users, doors, schedules, and audit logs
- NFC tags and QR codes that route through the user's phone, no cards or fobs to issue
- Custom integrations: directory services, fire alarm overrides, building automation
- Hardware, firmware, and software, from one team
Where it fits
- A building tired of issuing, recovering, and replacing physical access cards
- An office, lab, or workshop with non-standard door hardware that off-the-shelf vendors don't support
- A property owner who needs different policies for staff, contractors, and visitors, without paying per user
- A team that wants its access logs in its own database, not someone else's
Most access systems were designed for a different building, in a different decade. We design ours for yours.
