FAQ

  • The Kisi Controller is designed for flexibility, supporting multiple access points per device. The Controller Pro 2 supports up to 4 doors. For larger deployments, you can combine multiple Kisi door controllers across locations based on your needs, organize them with Altronix Troves, and centrally manage them from Kisi’s cloud-based platform. This is ideal for businesses with global offices, coworking and gym franchises, campuses, or facilities that require unified access management.

  • The door controller installation is plug-and-play, designed for quick deployment. Most setups can be completed in a matter of hours, depending on the scale and complexity of the security hardware and access points being connected. Once installed, everything is managed remotely from Kisi’s cloud dashboard, eliminating the need for on-site IT support.

  • While the Kisi Controller is cloud-managed, the Kisi system has built-in offline support to ensure uninterrupted access. Kisi readers can cache access rights offline for up to 36 hours and can also process authenticated unlock requests from the user’s phone as a failsafe. If you have a third-party reader, you can rely on Kisi controllers that cache access rights for offline use based on recent activity, enabling offline access with physical credentials before contacting the legacy controller for unlock requests. With mobile data enabled on the user’s phone, the Kisi reader will receive a certificate from their phone through Bluetooth or NFC to unlock the door.

  • The Controller Pro 2 is all you need for cloud-based access control, unlocks from the Kisi mobile app, and remote and global management for all your facilities with Kisi controllers in place.

    The Kisi Controller supports a flexible range of credentials, including mobile unlocks (via smartphone or smartwatch), NFC, keycards, and fobs. However, you will need to install the Kisi Reader or Terminal Pro on the doors where you’d like to use tap-to-unlock, MotionSense, badges in Apple Wallet, or QR codes. You can mix and match credential types based on your security needs.

  • Yes, you can use the web app as the interface for the Kisi One Security Platform. The app requires Kisi’s access control hardware if you want to manage access control with it. Deploy the Kisi Controller Pro 2, and Kisi Reader Pro 2 or Terminal Pro for a seamless access experience. If you have an existing access control system in place, you can only replace your existing controllers. Contact our team if you need help determining the best deployment option for you.

  • Yes, the Kisi Controller is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing access control systems with its Wiegand board add-on. You can connect old controllers and reuse current wiring, readers, credentials, and locks while upgrading to cloud-based management, minimizing disruption and installation costs.

  • Yes. You can easily connect the Kisi Controller Pro 2 with the building’s legacy access control system without any operation disruptions. Your landlord will still get insights about the building entries, and you get to manage all your entry points from the Kisi interface while ensuring a seamless mobile app experience for all your users in all your spaces. If you prefer physical credentials, you can use the same cards or fobs to access your spaces. No need for different sets of credentials. Check out our compatibility guide for more details.
