Why choose readerless
mobile credential software?

We are the only readerless mobile credential software solution that uses iOS and Android NFC technology to unlock doors outside of smartphone Wallet apps. Wondering why?

Get in Touch

1. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

No ‘rip and replace’ access control reader hardware upgrade costs:

Sentry’s mobile credentials are readerless and uses the user’s smartphone as the active NFC mobile reader, there’s no need to upgrade your existing readers. Save money associated with new reader hardware upgrades and labor costs.

No contractual annual Wallet App license fees:

Wallet app credential licenses run off a cost per user per year model in addition to the integration and maintenance costs. With Sentry’s readerless credentials, only one integration is required to provide cross platform NFC mobile access for iOS and Android users.

No Access Control System Integration Costs: 

With Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials you don’t face any cost to integrate our software with your existing access control system, so there’s no custom integration cost. If your system(s) are on our list of integrations, we can add our retrofit mobile access software to it in minutes.

2. Security

The only NIST compliant access control solution

We are the only NIST compliant access control solution that adopts elliptical curves to store and secure your data. Our encryption architecture is years ahead and even quantum computing can’t crack it. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards we adopt comply with what the US military, NSA and White House use as a benchmark.

The only solution where the smartphone is the biometric 2FA NFC enabled reader

We use NFC technology that is built into iOS and Android smartphones and leverage the power of biometric and multi-factor smartphone security. We’ve created the first active NFC enabled reader, which is actually the user’s smartphone.

Geofencing, time and IP access restrictions

Restrict user access permissions based on IP address, time and geofencing. Prevent unauthorized out of hours access. Geofencing restrictions can be set for remote access, preventing unlocks from certain radius’. IP restriction allows you to control access depending on the network used e.g. you can set access to only be available on a particular wifi network.

Upgrade your building’s access security today

Sentry Interactive’s mobile access credentials are engineered for comprehensive security. We are the only mobile credential SDK provider to follow NIST compliant standards by using the mobile as the reader. Military-grade encryption protects user access data in the cloud, while audit logging and privacy regulation compliance further secure the data.

3. User Experience

Cross platform compatibility for iOS and Android users

Our open source SDK software allows you to integrate our NFC access control solution into tenant experience apps. Tenants can use their existing building app to open doors with their smartphone’s NFC technology. There is no extra cost to integrate Sentry’s readerless mobile credentials with your platform.

One virtual key to access a portfolio of access control systems

Sentry’s readerless mobile access credentials are compatible with a combination of disparate access control systems. One virtual key can be used to access a portfolio of buildings and doors, even if they have different access control systems installed.

Ability to use virtual keys within third-party tenant experience apps

Our readerless credential software can unify a combination of disparate access control systems under one platform. One virtual key can be used to access a portfolio of buildings and doors, even if they have different access control systems installed.

4. Visitor Virtual Keys

Share time-limited virtual keys with visitors

Admins can share time sensitive virtual keys with visitors, contractors, or out of hours staff. After the time is up, access permissions are automatically revoked, securing the building. Digital visitor access passes can be issued using an email remotely via the mobile or web app straight to the users smartphone.

Visitors don’t need to download an app to access using virtual keys

Share app-less visitor passes. Visitors can access their virtual keys in their email. A link to a QR code scanner can then be used to scan the QR code on the door credential to enter a door securely.

Send up to 1000 digital visitor passes at one time

Up to 1000 emails can be sent visitor passes at one time. Perfect for large events, where large quantities of attendees require access for a specific time frame.

Interoperability

Integrates with access control systems off all ages

Sentry’s readerless mobile credential software can interface with 20+ physical access control systems, regardless of their age to provide NFC mobile access. NFC wallet app credentials require the latest reader hardware to be installed, meaning costly rip and replace can be required.

Integrates into 3rd party platforms via open SDK

The Sentry readerless mobile credential SDK has the capability to integrate mobile access with PropTech technology, from unlocking doors to activating building iOT sensors. Our software is flexible to accommodate and unify a combination of technologies.

Unifies a combination of access control system brands under one centralized platform

A single Sentry readerless mobile credential can unlock multiple buildings disparate systems, depending on access permissions. Building management can control access to a portfolio of buildings with disparate systems, just as easily as one.

Tobie ChapmanEstates Management at Colliers

Nathan D’AlessandriAssociate Director, Governance & Compliance Lead at LB Navana
"Having NFC mobile access control integrated with the InterGate app is critical to first-class user experience and visitor management. With Sentry Interactive embedded in our app we can now provide room booking management and understand building and room usage across our clients’ portfolios.”

“I ended up with a large amount of empty office space that I didn't know what to do with following the pandemic. Sentry Interactive was the perfect solution to sub let the space for coworking. This enabled me to turn desks into hot desks to enable flexible working and use for existing employees that wanted to return to the office”.
LucMD at Liberty Resourcing, Ltd
“Sentry Mobile Access is exactly what I need. I required a room to perform consultations with clients and found an existing office that would be ideal. I pay for the room only when I need it, I turn up and tap to unlock. I can even unlock with one tap on my Apple Watch. It’s simple and easy”.
CharlotteCEO and Founder at The Health Nutritionist
“I required a place to work from and host client meetings in downtown Lisbon. I book and pay for the meeting room a few times a week. To enter the meeting room I use NFC on my iPhone and touch the phone against the tile that has an NFC chip built-in to unlock the door. The Sentry app is easy and quick to use. Works just how I need it too”.
LéoCreative Art Director at LB Dsgns
“After WFH for sometime I got tired of the lack of space, distractions and no separation between work and home. I wanted some flexible workspace every now and then but didn’t want to pay WeWork prices. My friend recommended Sentry Interactive to be able to hot desk at the same place she does. It’s simple to book and pay for the space as and when I need it. All I need is my smartphone to unlock the office door for the time I’ve paid for”.
EliseCRO Specialist at Swift Monkey
“Being a multi-tenant landlord for a few office buildings there are times when space isn’t being used fully. I was able to use Sentry Mobile Access to help fill up the empty space I had when tenants couldn’t come up with internal uses for it. It’s been easy to attract new flexible workspace tenants thanks to Sentry’s app”.
