Tap2Open is revolutionizing gate access with our smartphone invitation system for guests. In addition to smartphone entry, Tap2Open offers several additional modules and access technologies to offer customers a complete suite which can meet all of a communities access needs. We now offer:
Tap2Open can work as an add-on to existing systems, enhancing your current system by bringing smartphone access to guests and residents. We can work alongside existing systems like:
So residents don’t lose any of their current access methods, but can now use smartphone functionality. In fact, in most cases Tap2Open can work with existing card/FOB systems. This will allow residents to use their existing cards & FOB’s but also their smartphones for entry! This works great for amentities likes clubhouses, gyms or pools!

Tap2Open can manage many other systems
In addition to the add-on functionality offered by Tap2Open (see below), T2O can now interface with many other access systems. We can work with “token-based systems” like barcode scanners, remotes, and RFID systems. Essentially anything with an RS-232, RS-485 or Wiegand interface. With this new functionality, administrators can manage key functionality for all of these systems through our easy-to-use browser interface. This means that the community can administer all access, see all invitations and get usage logs in one place!
Modern Visitor Processing
A complete cloud-based entrance system for communities with guards
Dealing with an old PC based gate system from decades ago? Time to upgrade?
SmartGuard is designed to replace your old, outdated PC-based guard system with a modern, cloud-based system. It assists your security personnel in making quick and informed decisions on both scheduled and unregistered guests at guarded points of entry. This results in a more seamless entry process for visitors. The system works on smartphones, tablets and PC’s (anything with a web browser), offering you complete flexibility.
Tap2Open SmartGuard securely expedites the entry process for vendors and guests in communities with manned gates. Residents can schedule and send invitations to their guest’s from their smartphone or PC.
Tap2Open’s Invitations are Optimized for Convenience
Tap2Open was designed to be fast and easy to use. Residents invite their own guests via computer, tablet or phone (It only takes seconds). All invitations are time restricted. Guests can only gain access when needed. It is also much more convenient than having to call the guard and provide instructions. Guests receive invitations by email or text. Since residents can do most things themselves, they don’t have to rely on others to do things for them.
Get Guests Through the Gates More Quickly
The system can be configured in three different ways to accommodate your community’s needs.
Guests with invitations can let themselves in
Under this scenario, guests with invitations can skip the security line completely, and let themselves in through the resident lane. This is the fastest method and will eliminate the line at the gate!
Invitations with Guard Clearance
In this configuration, guests must check in with the guard the 1st time the invitation is used. At this point, the guard can also scan or input the driver’s license information. After the first visit, the guest can use the invitation (simply clicking on a link on their phone) to let themselves in through the resident line. This will allow the neighborhood to capture information on each driver and will also allow repeat guests a much better experience through the gates!
This does NOT require the guest to present a QR Code or similar to the guard. They literally open the gate with just their phone and skip the line completely!
Guard Check in Required
This is the traditional method of processing visitors. The guest must check in with the guard each time, and the guard may capture driver details. QR codes or PIN codes can be provided to guests for faster check in with the guard.
We offer Traditional Guard Software Functionality
If a guest doesn’t have an invite or is required by the community to check in with the guard, guards are able to quickly search through all active invitations by resident name, address, or guest name. After the invite and visitor have been confirmed, guards can grant access to guests at the touch of a button.
In the event of a surprise or unregistered visit, guards can search the community database to contact a resident. Guards can even schedule guest invitations on the behalf the of the residents.
Through smart design, the system also has many more advanced features…
SmartGuard works on any device with a web browser, making it ideal for communities with multiple entry points, roving guards and remote access. Because it is cloud-based, no IT support is required, and the system is always up to date.
For communities with multiple entrances, Tap2Open makes entry much more convenient for guests. Because guests let themselves in, gates that were only for residents now can be utilized by guests. Because some guests will use alternate entrances and others can let themselves in, the lines for any unannounced guests will be much shorter, too.
Delivery drivers (and guests) are sometimes routed to unmanned gates that they cannot use. Unfamiliar with the area, the drivers will try to enter through the exit and end up popping their tires! With Tap2Open, the drivers would be able to use back gates as well. They could open the gate themselves when they arrive!
Tap2Open can also be used to replace the guards completely or during periods with low traffic. It is much more cost effective and convenient. For a basic cost comparison, click here.
Centralize Administration to Make Life Easier
Tap2Open can become your complete access control system. In addition to the guard software, we can also control and administer other systems like barcode readers, RFID tags and key card systems. By connecting these other systems to Tap2Open, you can administer all these systems through a single, easy-to-use browser interface. Beyond simplifying operations, all transactions are in a single log, and all access can be turned off in one place. Robust reporting helps to understand what is happening at the gates, and to research any incidents that arise.
ALPR Functionality
Automated License Plate Camera systems can also be integrated. This allows Tap2Open to attach the license plate of each visitor to the invitation. After coming in a few times, the system will recognize the plate and allow the visitor in automatically. License plates can also be searched to find out who the driver is visiting..
Card Systems
Key card systems can be used with Tap2Open. Using your existing hardware and keys, Tap2Open can be used to administer these cards. In addition, residents and guests will be able to use their phones like a remote to open amenity doors and gates!
Smart. Seamless. Secure
Send your Guests a Temporary Access Code in Seconds
Tap2Open’s Smart Keypad allows residents to include a unique and temporary PIN code in invitations sent to guests who may not have a smartphone, or to vendors with rotating staff. Unlike other entry systems with PIN code access, Tap2Open’s Smart Keypad solution creates a unique random code for each guest. Each code is tied to a Tap2Open invitation, and follows the rules set by the resident such as schedules and accessible entrances. The code will automatically expire with the invitatiion. Access can also be instantly revoked or modified in seconds. The codes can also be more than 4 digits (length determined by the community), Think smart passwords vs. 1234!

For residents on foot, we now offer FOB’s and keycards. These are typically used by residents to enter building entrances, amenities like pools or gyms, or pedestrian gates. They can also be used for docks, self storage access and more! FOB readers are built into our Smart Keypads, and we also offer stand-alone FOB/keycard readers. While these same entrances can be opened via smartphone by residents and guests (as permitted), some residents prefer to have a simple way to open the door without carrying their phone.
In fact, in most cases Tap2Open can work with existing card/FOB systems. This will allow residents to use their existing cards & FOB’s but also their smartphones for entry! It also means the community doesn’t have to replace existing card readers!
Let Residents Cruise Right In
For residents looking for the ultimate in convenience, we now offer a RFID vehicle scanner. With this option, when residents approach the gate, the gate will automatically open! Residents put a small RFID tag on their windshield (like automatic highway tolling), and when they get close to the gate, the scanner reads the tag, and the gate opens. This is the latest technology and has largely replaced barcode scanners. Its also much more economical than a barcode scanner. Issuing and deleting the RFID tags is very simple from within Tap2Open. Adding a tag takes a mere seconds! Tap2Open can also work with existing RFID systems.
Capture the License Plate of Every Vehicle Entering the Community and Automatically Open the Gate!
For communities looking for a higher level of security, we now offer a license plate camera software. With this option, the license plate of every vehicle entering the community will be captured. When a resident approaches the gate, the gate will automatically open! This eliminates the need for a barcode reader or RFID system. For incoming guests, it will record the guest’s license plate to the visitors’ log. This will allow a manager or guard to search for that license plate. If someone parks where they shouldn’t and needs to move, you’ll know who to contact to move the vehicle. In addition, after coming in a few times, the system will also be able to open the gate automatically for returning guests (as long as their invitation is still valid).
Add Tap2Open Functionality to Existing Systems
Tap2Open has a series of API’s which allow our functionality to by integrated with other systems. Contact us to discuss your needs. We can provide complete documentation.
