Secure Your Community, People, and Data

With Proptia's module-based architecture, you can turn on and off features with a click of a button. When enabled, modules seamlessly integrate with one another allowing for centralized security gate systems for gated communities. From license plate recognition to telephone entry, Proptia has it all.

Replace Key Fobs with Secure Mobile Access Control

Proptia's Bluetooth Mobile Credentials allow residents to securely access gates, doors, and amenities using their smartphones instead of traditional key fobs or access cards. Mobile credentials reduce hardware costs, eliminate the hassle of lost or damaged fobs, and allow community managers to instantly issue, suspend, or revoke access from anywhere. It's a more secure, more convenient, and lower-maintenance approach to modern HOA access control.

Secure, Non-Cloneable Access Credentials

Every Proptia credential—whether it's a Bluetooth Mobile Credential, RFID credential, key fob, or vehicle transponder—is uniquely issued to an individual resident and securely managed throughout its lifecycle. Unlike legacy low-frequency credentials that can be duplicated, modern encrypted credentials are designed to resist cloning, helping protect your community from unauthorized access.

When a credential is lost, stolen, or no longer needed, it can be instantly deactivated and replaced without compromising the security of your gates, doors, or amenities.

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

Can we import all of our existing credentials into Proptia so that we don’t have to reissue new ones?

Yes once we’ve determined that Proptia can read your existing credentials and integrate with your existing readers we can work with you to import all of your credentials into the software.
