Couriers, service technicians and visitors do not always arrive when residents are at home. With the My2N App, residents can let them into the building remotely or send them a time-limited PIN or QR code in advance. For developers, this is more than an added convenience. It is a practical feature designed around everyday situations in residential buildings.
Residents do not have to hand over a physical key, ask a neighbour for help or change their plans because someone is coming. When a visitor calls from the entrance intercom, the call appears on the resident’s phone. They can see and speak to the visitor before deciding whether to unlock the entrance door and, if required, another door further inside the building. Access can also be arranged in advance and limited to exactly when it is needed.
Developers are therefore choosing more than an intercom or access unit. They are also shaping how access to the building will work in practice, from residents returning home each day to those occasions when they are away. A well-designed access solution becomes part of the user experience offered by the development and can help set it apart in the market.
The app brings mobile access and intercom communication together on a smartphone. The phone can replace an access card while also receiving video calls from the intercom. When a visitor rings, the resident can see who is there, speak to them and unlock the door remotely, whether they are at work, travelling or on holiday.
Residents can create a time-limited PIN or QR code for visitors, couriers or service technicians and send it to them in advance. The access credential remains valid only for the specified period and can be revoked if necessary. Residents retain control over who can enter the building and when, without having to give anyone their own key or access card.
“For us, Reliable Innovation means that advanced technology is not an end in itself. It must deliver an experience that is both reliable and intuitive. Access systems demonstrate this in very practical situations: residents need to be able to verify a visitor easily, let them in remotely or create a time-limited access credential. The true value of innovation becomes clear when the technology works predictably, securely and without unnecessary complexity,” says Michal Kratochvíl, CEO of 2N.
