Sensor Access Mobile Guard App
Mobile Apps
The "Mobile Guard" app, often used with Sensor Access Technology's GuardPoint 10 system, allows users to turn their Android phones into mobile readers for access control. This app facilitates real-time monitoring of users by reading QR codes or Mifare cards, enabling functions like spot checks, mobile check-ins, and fire mustering. It also supports offline operation and can be used with various card technologies.
Here's a more detailed look:
Key Features:
Mobile Reader: The app allows users to use their phone's NFC reader or external readers to scan access cards and QR codes.
Real-time Monitoring: Enables monitoring of user locations and access details within the building or area.
Spot Checks: Allows for on-the-move validation of access cards and QR codes.
Mobile Check-in: Updates user locations for accurate tracking and reporting.
Fire Mustering: Used to confirm the location of individuals during evacuations.
Offline Operation: The app can function offline using a downloaded database snapshot, useful for situations with limited network connectivity.
Security Features: Supports data protection mechanisms, including biometric prompts and 2-factor authentication.
Card Technology Support: Supports 13.56MHz RFID/Proximity cards (via external or NFC readers) and Mifare Desfire cards (requires specific configuration).
Functionality:
When a user scans their badge/card, the app retrieves their photo, location, and validation details from the GuardPoint 10 system.
It can then be used to update the user's location in the system, allowing for real-time tracking.
The app also allows for random spot checks and manual relay firing (e.g., opening doors if a card is forgotten).
It doesn't perform access transactions like a door reader; instead, it updates the cardholder's area, adds a timestamp, and can log entries in the audit log.
Integration with Sensor Access Technology:
The Mobile Guard app is designed to integrate with Sensor Access Technology's GuardPoint 10 access control system.
Sensor Access Technology also integrates with STid Mobile ID for seamless access control and visitor management.
