Crystal Lake, IL, February 2, 2016—Connect ONE®, the flagship, cloud-hosted security management platform from Connected Technologies, LLC will unveil to the security market at the Elk Products Inc. booth 7033 during ISC West its groundbreaking ScanPass® Mobile Credential. The totally unique device credential is the next generation of access control, using a barcode sticker affixed at the entrance location so users with a smartphone, tablet, iPad or any device with a camera and WiFi or cellular connectivity can gain entry. ScanPass Mobile Credential requires no software to install or maintain, eliminating access control cards/fobs and the installation of readers and door controllers. It also piggybacks easily on existing access control hardware for superior specification flexibility. ScanPass® Mobile Credential is the latest convenience application powered by Connect ONE, manufactured by Connected Technologies, LLC.
The ScanPass Difference
ScanPass is unlike any other smartphone or similar mobile access control device on the market in that it offers greater connectivity options—including premise network or cellular—for users to gain access to interior or exterior doors in and around the facility. ScanPass users simply point their smartphone or other device credential at the barcode sticker for access to their designated entrance. With the ability to use different communication pathways, users are assured of instant accessibility. Other devices on the market may require a dedicated reader or additional hardware in the smartphone, in the example of Near Field Communication or require scrolling through a lengthy dropdown list to locate the door to be unlocked.
“We’re excited to introduce ScanPass to the market at ISC West. We are confident this is truly unique to the industry and it will open new avenues of opportunity for installation of access control in single and multiple door specifications,” said Mike Simon, managing director of Connected Technologies. “There are so many advantages for the user and integrator. ScanPass as a convenience function allows companies to differentiate themselves from the competition. The labor and hardware cost savings are significant, as it can be deployed without having to wire readers. In addition, it enables installers the ability to more accurately bid and complete projects faster. The end user saves on installation and also lowers their total cost of ownership by eliminating the ongoing cost of distributing and maintaining individual access control cards and key fobs,” he said.
"It's not the strongest who succeed or the most intelligent, but the most adaptable to change,” Simon continued. “With the big money players coming into the industry a smaller, maybe family owned business must change their mindset and realize that even the greatest security dealer must branch and bundle more automation and interactive services.”
Other features of ScanPass include:
- ScanPass connects to any alarm that has a key switch input and can be used alone or in tandem with existing card readers for a mix-and-match approach and flexibility in deploying the specification to meet any end-user’s facility needs.
- Barcodes identify the specific device to be activated, such as intrusion burglar alarm, door access, gate control, lighting and more with no scrolling, allowing instant system activation.
- Fully compatible with ELK, Bosch and DMP controls.
- Easy to understand and deploy—simply access the Connect ONE app that automatically accesses the ScanPass icon for real-time control.
- Scales up easily to add doors seamlessly—up to 206.
- Connect ONE can also control automation such as lighting, energy management and more.
