Sentry Solo Access Control Software Features

Sentry Solo offers three deployment options: VirtualKey for user entry only, VirtualKeypad for visitor access only, or a hybrid that combines both. Every option includes a cloud-based admin dashboard with real-time entry logs and reporting.

Option 1: User Entry Only

VirtualKey Smartphone Access

VirtualKey turns every user's smartphone into their access credential. One tap opens any authorized gate, door, or amenity entrance. No fobs, remotes, or codes to manage.

  • One Tap Entry: Users open gates and doors instantly from the mobile app.
  • Replace Fobs and Remotes: Encrypted mobile credentials eliminate physical hardware.
  • Personal Entry Log: Users view a history of their own access activity.
  • Simple Workflow: Secure personal access without visitor management features.

Option 2: Visitor Access Only

VirtualKeypad QR Code Entry

VirtualKeypad replaces callboxes, keypads, and kiosks with a QR code sign at the entrance. Visitors scan the SentrySign with their phone camera, enter a temporary code in their browser, and the gate opens. No app download required.

  • QR Code Self-Service: Visitors scan the SentrySign to access the VirtualKeypad in their browser.
  • No App Required: Works on any smartphone with a camera. Nothing to download or install.
  • Temporary Access Codes: Administrators or users issue codes that expire automatically after use.
  • Zero Hardware: Eliminates callboxes, keypads, phone lines, and repair costs.

Option 3: Complete Access Control

Hybrid: User Entry + Visitor Management

The most complete self-service access control option. Users get VirtualKey for personal entry and the ability to manage their own visitor list, send digital access codes, and receive arrival notifications from the same app.

  • Full Access Control: Users enter with VirtualKey and manage visitors from one app.
  • Visitor List Management: Users authorize guests and vendors directly from the mobile app.
  • Arrival Notifications: Receive real-time alerts when a visitor scans the SentrySign and enters.
  • One Platform: Seamless experience for both users and visitors across all access points.
