Frequently asked questions

  • The Kisi system combines hardware and software to deliver an unparalleled access control experience. The system can include:

    • Hardware (Kisi Reader Pro, Kisi Terminal Pro, Kisi Controller Pro Series)
    • Software (Kisi One Security Platform)
    • Unlock methods (Kisi App, Kisi Access Cards, Kisi Fobs, Kisi Stickers, Employee badges in Apple Wallet)

  • Yes, Kisi enables you to migrate your access control at your own pace. You can install the complete all-in-one solution or keep your old readers, wiring, and credentials and gradually migrate your old system to Kisi. You can start by replacing your controllers with the Kisi Controller Pro 2 to enjoy Kisi’s cloud-based system and benefits. With this option, you can still manage all your locations from a single pane of glass, enhance your security and minimize maintenance costs.

  • Access links allow one-time users, visitors, and temporary staff to unlock doors in your place without signing up for a Kisi account or downloading the mobile app. You can simply send the link via email to the person that needs temporary access. They can unlock the doors they have been granted access to by clicking the link. For better security, set validity dates to specify the period the access link will be active.

  • Besides the mobile app, tap to unlock, MotionSense, and Employee badges in Apple Wallet, Kisi offers different ways to unlock doors with physical credentials.

    • Kisi cards (Kisi Passes), tags, and fobs
    • Third-party NFC credentials
    • Third-party RFID credentials
    • QR codes

    To ensure your security, cards that are not NFC standards compliant are not supported by Kisi Readers. Kisi supports many legacy key cards, so you can keep your old credentials when migrating to Kisi. Contact our team for specific info and check out our deployment options if you want to reuse your old readers and credentials.

  • Kisi has an in-house support team that is always ready to help you regardless of the plan you choose.
