One of the top priorities for any commercial property manager is security. Your system has to be absolutely secure to safeguard your customers' interests, yet flexible enough for you to manage it without a logistical nightmare.
What if it were possible to do both, all from the device you're reading this from right now?
Enter the AirKey, a sleek and secure electronic locking system developed by Austrian company EVVA Sicherheitstechnologie GmbH. Well known in Europe for being a leading manufacturer of both mechanical and electronic lock systems, the company has branched overseas and now offers its services in Singapore for both commercial and residential properties.
Who's the AirKey for? Anyone with something to lock up, really. It's great for hotels, co-living spaces, co-working spaces, and storage facilities, but it also works for homeowners who want a fuss-free smart home lock.
Here's what the AirKey system offers for both commercial and residential property owners.
No Complex IT System Required
Setting up a smart security system doesn't have to be a huge investment, nor do you have to hire a team of developers to create a custom system.
With AirKey, everything is controlled via their web app or smartphone. All you have to do is log in via their website – no software installation required. Better yet, you can manage things on the go with the AirKey app on iOS or Android, which allows you to program the AirKey unit itself, enable access authorisations, and even program other tokens such as access cards.
Easy, Fuss-free Installation
The AirKey doesn't even require drilling or modification to your current doors for installation. With a modular setup, you can adjust the length of the AirKey unit to fit your door and get set up on your own in seconds.
Even if you're a boutique outfit, you'll be able to enjoy full support from the EVVA team, which offers demo materials such as brochures and videos, as well as project planning on-site.
Flexible Access Choices
The AirKey unit can be unlocked via various methods: an NFC- or Bluetooth-enabled smartphone with the AirKey app, a key fob, an access card, or a wristband. As the manager, you can send authorisation access to a user's phone, or program a card or compatible wristband as an access token.
This makes it easier for you to choose an access method suited to your business needs: a co-working office manager, for instance, may opt for the smartphone method for long-term users, while a hostel owner may choose access cards for maximum convenience for their guests.
Monitor Access from Anywhere
While it's possible to manage the system from your laptop, the AirKey mobile app offers full control too. Having system control from your smartphone means you can monitor access from anywhere, whether you're travelling overseas for a conference or relaxing on a beach holiday.
The app allows for 24/7 monitoring – you can see current access authorisations, any updates made to the AirKey units and access tokens, and the battery status of the AirKey. Got a last-minute guest coming in? You can grant access almost immediately with a few taps on your smartphone. Need to revoke access? Done in seconds.
Size Up or Down to Suit Your Needs
Whether you're running a co-living space for ten people or a vast office building for a thousand, the AirKey system can be scaled up or down to suit your needs.
To grant or change authorisations, the AirKey uses something called KeyCredits, which can be bought via the AirKey app. These come in packages of ten, 50, or 100, costing as low as $0.50 per credit. For instance, if you need to create 20 guest room cards for a small boutique hotel, you'll need 20 KeyCredits.
For those in the process of setting up their system, we'd recommend going with the plan that allows you an unlimited number of KeyCredits for a period of time – this gives you free rein to grant authorisation access to technicians, maintenance teams, staff, and set up guest access tokens while keeping your system secure.
Since these KeyCredits are pay-per-use, you'll only be paying for exactly what you need – nothing more. Access revocations, as well as locking and unlocking, are free of charge.
World-Class Security
With a rotary damper, and plug-pulling and drilling protection, you can rest assured that the AirKey unit is completely secure – there's no risk of tampering. Within the cylinder unit and the access token are certified, highly-secure memory elements that encrypt and decrypt information.
They also store all data on EVVA's secure server, and there's an event log for access events that you can check for transparency. With these in place, the AirKey is well protected, and so is your property.
