Electronic security
Replace the limitations of traditional keys with an electronic access system designed around your property. Manage access for staff, residents, contractors and visitors, with permissions that can be updated as requirements change.
The problem
Lost keys mean changed locks, and nobody knows who opened which door. Electronic access lets you remove a credential in moments and see access history — but every door is different, so the locking hardware, cabling, power and exit arrangements must be assessed first.
How it works
Electronic access suits any property where several people need different levels of access.
Cards and key fobs are the most common credentials. Mobile credentials are available where the selected system supports them.
Access is set by person, door and time. A cleaner might have evening access to the office but never the server room; staff might enter only during business hours.
Where supported, the system can alert on doors held open or forced. Optional intercom, CCTV and alarm integration is available on compatible equipment — not every brand integrates with every other.
Platforms
A cloud-based option for managing users, credentials and access across one or many locations from central administration. It supports physical and mobile credentials, access schedules and compatible integrations. Mobile wallet support and reuse of existing equipment must be confirmed against the selected hardware, credentials and licensing.
Inception provides integrated access control and intruder detection with browser-based management. Integriti is an integrated platform for more complex access, intrusion and security-management requirements. We assess which platform fits the site rather than promising a fixed system size or universal integration.
Uses compatible UniFi controllers, readers and door hardware, with user permissions, access schedules, supported credentials, door management and compatible intercom options. Credential types and integration features are confirmed against the selected equipment.
Compare
Not a ranking — the right choice depends on the site, the doors and how you want to manage them. Features are confirmed against the selected equipment.
| Platform | Management | Credentials | Integration | Typical considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genea | Cloud-based central administration | Cards, fobs and mobile credentials (hardware dependent) | Compatible integrations — confirmed per project | Ongoing subscription; suits multi-location management |
| Inner Range Inception | Browser-based, on-site controller | Cards and fobs; others depend on readers | Integrated access and intruder detection | Small to medium sites wanting access and alarm together |
| Inner Range Integriti | Integrated security-management platform | Range of credentials depending on readers | Complex access, intrusion and compatible integrations | Larger or more complex sites; designed and commissioned per site |
| UniFi Access | UniFi app and console | Supported UniFi credentials (equipment dependent) | Compatible UniFi intercoms and devices | Suits sites using UniFi; confirm features per model |
Example
| Person or group | Front door | Office | Warehouse | Server room |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manager | Any time | Any time | Any time | Any time |
| Office staff | 7am–6pm | 7am–6pm | — | — |
| Warehouse team | 6am–4pm | — | 6am–4pm | — |
| Cleaner | 6pm–9pm | 6pm–9pm | — | — |
| Contractor (temporary) | This week, 8am–5pm | — | This week, 8am–5pm | — |

Example
Door forced
Warehouse side door opens without a valid credential.
Alert
The access system records the event and notifies nominated users.
Footage
The nearby camera's clip is bookmarked for quick review.
