QR codes

By sending QR codes, you can allow visitors or temporary staff to unlock doors in your facility by simply scanning the QR code at a Kisi Terminal. QR codes don't require users to sign up for a Kisi account, or download the mobile apps.

info

Users with a digital credential can unlock doors associated with the link without having to sign in. Also, Geofence restrictions and Kisi Reader restrictions do not apply to digital credentials, allowing remote door opening from any location.
