Mobile access control is a convenient way to use your mobile phone or wearable watch to access doors, building, and more. Mobile-based access control application support dynamic QR codes, NFC/ BLE mobile credentials for enhanced security. By replacing traditional access credentials like keys, fobs, and even conventional cards, mobile-based access control system will build a smarter and more efficient way to protect their facilities. Here are some of the key advantages mobile access control offers.

1. Enhanced Convenience for Users

Traditional access methods like keys and cards are susceptible to being stolen or duplicated, posing security risks. Mobile access credentials application virtualizes your conventional access cards and stores them on your mobile phone. Both access credential and conventional access cards can coexist in one system. 

NFC/BLE Mobile access

Mobile-based access for NFC/ BLE technologies, allows users to unlock doors by simply approaching them with their mobile phone. When the authorized user approaches the door, the user can hold their mobile phone near access control system/reader by using BLE/NFC credentials. If the valid credentials has been verified by the cloud server, the CT9 PRO flashes green, notifying the user that the door has unlocked. If the credentials is invalid, the CT9 PRO flashes red.

QR code Mobile access

CT9 PRO support multi-formats QR Code 1D & 2D codes, QR & Micro QR codes and Barcode used in paper or mobile phone for visitor access control. Visitors present the QR code to CT9 PRO, CT9 PRO detects the QR code mobile credential and sends it to the server via HTTP command for identification, and server verifies the ID and sends back command to CT9 PRO with relay output to open the door.

2. Improved Security and Reduced Risk

The traditional key access control mainly includes the use of physical keys and RFID cards, it can be easily losed and is not easy to manage. Mobile access control significantly mitigates these concerns. You only need to use your mobile phone to approach CT9 PRO at short range to achieve contactless access experience. Mobile-based access features short-range and encryption capabilities that reduce the risk of unauthorized data interception, making it ideal for sensitive applications like access control. CT9 PRO implements the encryption of all credentials and personal information, avoiding the risk of cloning and also protecting data security through encrypted technology.

3. Flexibility Management of Access Rights

Furthermore, mobile access systems can instantly deactivate credentials if a mobile phone is lost or stolen. Administrators can issue or revoke access rights in real-time, ensuring tighter control over who can enter the premises. This flexibility makes mobile access particularly suitable for organizations with high turnover rates, temporary staff, or frequent visitors. The credentials can be issued for specific time frames or revoked as soon as they are no longer needed. CT9 PRO also supports  like remote unlocking function, allowing authorized users to grant access to others even when they are not on-site. This is particularly beneficial for organizations with distributed teams or facilities requiring 24/7 access.

4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

Mobile access control promotes sustainability by reducing the reliance on physical materials like plastic cards and metal keys. This eco-friendly approach aligns with the growing demand for green practices in business operations, making mobile access control an attractive option for environmentally conscious organizations.

Conclusion

Mobile access control represents the future of secure and efficient facility management. Its ability to enhance convenience, security, and reduce costs makes it is an appealing choice for businesses, institutions, and residential complexes. By integrating seamlessly with modern technologies and providing a scalable solution, mobile access empowers organizations to stay ahead in an ever-evolving security landscape.
