DMP has released its SR3 Bluetooth & Proximity Reader for use with existing 125 kHz cards or via a mobile credential that’s easily and uniquely deployed within the DMP Virtual Keypad app.
“With this Bluetooth solution, you’ve got frictionless access control — the phone remains in your pocket for hassle-free entry,” says DMP Vice President of Marketing Mark Hillenburg. “Users get the convenience they prefer, plus it creates an easy-to-deploy, one-time purchase mobile credential without all the hassle and expense of ongoing monthly costs.”
DMP’s SR3 Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and proximity reader gives customers an advanced access control solution with mobile credentials that are easy to manage virtually without having to ship, mail or deliver physical credentials. Once credentials are assigned, those users automatically receive an email with instructions on how to log in to Virtual Keypad to begin using their mobile credentials immediately.
“Keep in mind,” Hillenburg adds, “customers can allow the Virtual Keypad app to be used for mobile credentials only. This means they can give their users the access they’re assigned but control the authority of any user and keep other system functions, such as Arming and viewing video or any other app functions from appearing on their app menu.”
From purchase to issuing, mobile credentials are electronically and instantly transmitted to the user. Any number of the mobile credentials can be purchased and managed directly from DMP’s administrative portal and instantly assigned to customers.
“Customers will appreciate such fast service and the ability to give their users the smartphone convenience they prefer,” Hillenburg adds. “There’s no need to waste money on the logistics of old-fashioned cards and tags when you can completely manage these mobile credentials easily and securely from a single screen.”
While this new SR3 reader capitalizes on advanced BLE technology, it also supports 125 kHz proximity credentials. This gives businesses the flexibility to gradually transition their readers to the newer technology while also accommodating employees with proximity credentials.
