There are simpler systems out there for card access. The simpler systems are not as granular. There a lot of card access pieces to ACM. ACM also requires a server so if you want a cloud based solution, this is not an option. It's best if you have staff or a local company to support the hardware and software.

Some systems out there are not too granular. They also lacked integration with Google, which we need. With that being said ACM can sometimes make setup too complicated. Double-tap cards for instance take many steps to set up. In other systems it's a one-click setup. ACM is also compatible with Mercury boards. This is a big reason to choose ACM because the boards are not proprietary.

Sentry Solo Screenshots

Screenshot of Sentry Solo — VirtualKey and VirtualKeypad eliminate hardware and make access mobile. This software can be added to any door, gate, or amenity entrance.Screenshot of VirtualKey — Users can directly open any access point from their mobile device within the Gate Sentry app using the VirtualKey, eliminating the need for clicks, keys, and fobs.Screenshot of Adding Visitors — Sentry Solo also extends to visitor access. Users add their visitors' names and phone numbers within the app, categorizing them as permanent or temporary. The system automatically sends a text to the visitor, containing a unique 5-digit access code specific to that visitor. Permanent visitors always have access, while temporary visitors' codes expire as set by the user.Screenshot of VirtualKeypad — Upon scanning the QR code with their mobile device, visitors are presented with the VirtualKeypad, eliminating the need for any app downloads, and transitioning the process to a mobile format. Visitors simply enter their unique 5-digit code into the VirtualKeypad, which then grants them access.
