Assessment
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your current access control system hardware and firmware to find out whether it falls into our portfolio of integrations.
We identify hardware, software, and infrastructure needs e.g. number of doors and users, what type of door locks, and any existing building applications used by tenants and visitors.

Implementation
Next we remotely add our cloud software to your access control servers through our open API. This doesn’t require any downtime.
If you wish to bridge multiple systems, we can add our smart access software to the disparate access control system servers, and aggregate them under the Sentry Mobile Access cloud platform.
If there is an existing building app used by tenants and visitors we can look at adding the capability of NFC mobile access to it via our open SDK, to provide a value-add.
Configuration and Testing
We then configure the new system settings and conduct comprehensive tests to ensure optimal performance.
We walk you through how to setup your building admins, grant remote access permissions, send time-limited visitor passes and set security restrictions.
Final Walkthrough
Finally, we will show you how it works and perform a final check to confirm everything is operational and meets your building security needs.
Retrofit Mobile Access Software Solution vs Access System Rip and Replace
Cost effective and efficient
Retrofitting involves upgrading your existing door entry system with new features to enhance its functionality and security without the expense of a complete replacement. Ideal for organizations with a functional system that needs improvement but don’t want to face the added costs of new system hardware, such as door reader upgrades.
Minimal downtime and disruption
Retrofitting your access system is less intrusive and often involves minimal downtime compared to a complete system replacement. This means your daily operations continue smoothly while your security infrastructure gets a significant upgrade.
Maintain existing infrastructure
For organizations satisfied with their current setup but seeking enhanced functionality—like mobile access, retrofitting allows you to keep your existing infrastructure intact. This approach not only saves time and money but also simplifies the transition to improved security measures.
