Smart locks and remote access control

What are smart locks?

Smart locks use an electromechanical lock system to perform the locking and unlocking functions on a door. Smart locks typically feature deadbolt attachment hardware and basic software that’s installed manually.

Smart lock use cases

Smart locks are a go-to option for consumer use cases. Most businesses prefer access control systems for commercial use, such as office door locks. These systems act as commercial smart locks that you can manage from anywhere and offer advanced functionalities, like integration with video surveillance, automated access sharing, and detailed analytics.

Access control for business

Cloud-based access control systems enable remote and automatic door locks for businesses. The customizable software, unlimited users, and available customer support make it a more viable solution for offices and commercial facilities than smart locks.
