LiftMaster, the leading brand of professionally installed access systems, has developed new myQ Mobile Credentials, which allow community members to utilize their smartphones as an ultra-secure key for seamless entrance across all access points on their property.
Using the new LiftMaster Smart Readers and/or Smart Video Intercoms to enable myQ Mobile Credentials with the myQ Community app allows residents to use their smartphone to enter building access points such as front doors, elevators, parking garages, amenity rooms, and package rooms while maintaining security and eliminating the need for physical credentials such as key cards or fobs.
Keyless entry is the #1 digital amenity that renters will look for in 2023, according to Multi-Housing News. Systems such as myQ Mobile Credentials, which employ the smartphone as an all-access building pass, provide a higher level of protection than physical keys since they are less likely to be lost, stolen, or duplicated and allow property managers to track who is entering.
“The feature rich myQ Community app already makes life easier and safer for residents by offering them a seamless way to enter a property and share access with guests,” Jenny Lytle, General Manager of Commercial Emerging Business, explained. “Adding myQ Mobile Credentials and the Smart Readers to our smart access control ecosystem unlocks new ways for residents to gain entry to their building and the spaces and amenities that matter to them while enhancing property security.”
Residents now have three smart new ways to get entrance using their smartphone thanks to myQ Mobile Credentials:
Tap: Tap your smartphone against a reader or video intercom as if it’s a key fob.
Touch: Residents can Touch the reader with their hand while the smartphone is in a pocket or close by.
Alert: Press the myQ Community notification Alert that appears on your smartphone when approaching the entrance.
Residents who use the myQ Community app can also use one-way video calling and two-way video voice communication to identify visitors before granting access, as well as recurring or one-time virtual guest passes and a “press to unlock” feature that allows residents to easily unlock authorized entrances remotely with their smartphone. Furthermore, the myQ Community app integrates with Siri Voice Control, allowing residents to effortlessly access a front gate, garage, or front door with a simple voice command.
When connected to a LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom or other connected access controller, the Smart Reader enables myQ Mobile Credentials, giving a solution for multifamily complexes that extends beyond the perimeter. MyQ Mobile Credentials may communicate with LiftMaster Smart Video Intercoms without the use of a physical reader, in addition to Smart Readers.
The Smart Reader with myQ Mobile Credentials is compatible with LiftMaster’s whole line of access control products, as well as a variety of feature-rich options, to provide access control system solutions for any property.
