Get a better ROI by migrating to Kisi

Kisi allows for a cost-efficient upgrade to cloud-based security with zero downtime. Download our ROI document to learn more.

Before Kisi, I needed the person to WhatsApp me and let someone in. Badges got lost on a daily basis. I needed remote access that would work for multiple tenants and support 24/7 access - as well as provide clean record tracking for audit purposes.

Frequently asked questions

  • The Kisi system combines hardware and software to deliver an unparalleled access control experience. The system can include:

    • Hardware (Kisi Reader Pro, Kisi Terminal Pro, Kisi Controller Pro Series)
    • Software (Kisi One Security Platform)
    • Unlock methods (Kisi App, Kisi Access Cards, Kisi Fobs, Kisi Stickers, Employee badges in Apple Wallet)

  • Yes, Kisi enables you to migrate your access control at your own pace. You can install the complete all-in-one solution or keep your old readers, wiring, and credentials and gradually migrate your old system to Kisi. You can start by replacing your controllers with the Kisi Controller Pro 2 to enjoy Kisi’s cloud-based system and benefits. With this option, you can still manage all your locations from a single pane of glass, enhance your security, and minimize maintenance costs.

  • Besides the mobile app, tap to unlock, MotionSense, and Employee badges in Apple Wallet, Kisi offers different ways to unlock doors with physical credentials.

    • Kisi cards (Kisi Passes), tags, and fobs
    • Third-party NFC credentials
    • Third-party RFID credentials
    • QR codes

    To ensure your security, cards that are not NFC standards compliant are not supported by Kisi Readers. Kisi supports many legacy key cards, so you can keep your old credentials when migrating to Kisi. Contact our team for specific info and check out our deployment options if you want to reuse your old readers and credentials.

  • Our access control system helps you quickly and efficiently manage access rights for different groups of people. You can set up access rights for different membership levels so each member gets access to the appropriate area at the right time.
