Non-cloneable credentials

Issued mobile credentials, fobs, and transponders are 100% unique for each and every resident. Credentials are never recycled in the US, so you can rest assured that they will never be cloned. That’s the kind of peace of mind that only one of the most trusted gated community access control systems can offer.

Grant Temporary Access

You have full control not just over who gets access but also for how long. Need to give a guest entrance privileges for a few hours? Proptia’s community gate access control systems make it easy to do so.

Mobile Credentialed Access

Residents and staff alike can gain access with their smartphone using Proptia Mobile Credentieled Access. Going mobile also enhances security and reduces loss, loan, and clone as people are unlikely to share and lend out their smart phone.

Shared Access Levels

Do you operate several sites that share a facility, amenity or gate? With Proptia Shared Door Groups you can allow organizations to share access to one or more doors and gates.

Scheduled Recurring Hold Opens

Need to keep entrances open for an extended period of time? You can program hold opens on Proptia to make ingress and egress easy.

Scheduled Device Activation and Expiration

Physical credentials and access levels can be set to expire at predetermined schedules, ensuring that unauthorized individuals do not retain access beyond the initial length of time. This can come in handy for vendors and service providers needing to access your community and facilities to perform work

Proptia's open technology allows our products to integrate seamlessly with your existing systems, providing a comprehensive solution that adds value to the infrastructure investments you already have on-site.
