Traditional

Access Control Problems

User-UNfriendly

Traditional systems are outdated, cumbersome and non-intuitive, making daily management and usage a hassle for administrators and users alike.

Complex Installs. Rising Costs.

Traditional Access Control systems involve complex installations with extensive wiring “home-runs,” hubs, permits, and IP connectivity requirements. Keypad and card-reader installations add to the complexity and system cost. Ongoing expenses can mount quickly with traditional access systems due to damaged readers or keypads and licensing fees for adding new users or devices.

Copied, Lost, and Stolen Keys​

Physical keys, fobs, and RFID cards can be duplicated, shared, and even stolen – preventing you from knowing exactly who opened your doors and when.

is the solution

Simple. Easy. Powerful.

PAC-BLU transforms your smartphone into powerful mobile credentials, removing the reliance on traditional card readers, cards, and fobs. Additionally, no PoE requirements means less installation time and associated costs, while still providing powerful, cloud-based management features in the Sentinel web app.

Low Cost. High Tech.

PAC-BLU is the easiest solution to transition from a traditional key system into a keyless access control system – complete with audit trails, eKey management, and a myriad of features only possible with electronic access control. PAC-BLU’s “hub-less” design offers lower installation costs, while providing increased versatility and scalability.

Secure Mobile Credentials​​

Far more secure and convenient, mobile credentials are the antidote to traditional access methods, putting an end to key duplication and RFID “sniffing” attacks. Advanced encryption and authentication protocols ensure your data is protected while keeping user management simple and easy.

Applications & Industries

PAC-BLU is versatile in any environment, including corporate offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing plants, offering a scalable, secure access control solution that meets the dynamic needs of modern workspaces and secure areas.

Sentinel

eKey Management

Access Control. Anywhere.

At the heart of PAC-BLU is the “Sentinel” web management platform. Unlike traditional access control solutions, PAC-BLU’s Sentinel offers easy management of thousands of PAC-BLU devices and end-points – saving installers and administrators time and money.

Unlike many other systems out there, PAC-BLU has no limit on the number of users or devices connected into an enterprise system. Sentinel also centralizes management and assignment of users, eKeys, and time schedules. The system is easy to use and has a clean user experience.

Cloud-Based Security

With advanced capabilities to easily modify access schedules, grant access, and revoke access for a group of users, the web portal elegantly bypasses the need to scroll through lists of users to make quick changes. “Sentinel” also powerfully links access with accountability. It enables proactive monitoring of your locks’ access history, ensuring users are held in compliance with your enterprise policies for authorized access. 

Powerful Management Tools

Detailed Audit Trails

View a comprehensive record of all access events, with detailed monitoring and analysis of security data in real time.

Device Groups

Organize devices to streamline management and save time on deploying credentials for users.

Access Levels

Define and manage access levels within Sentinel and assign full-access, time-based, user-based, or one-time eKeys.

Mobile Credentials

Never cut a key again! Turn smartphones into keys and remove the hassle of traditional access control systems.

Global Settings

Implement uniform security policies and configurations across your entire network, ensuring consistent access control and system behavior.

Audit Trails

Get Accurate Data

In traditional access control environments, keys and fobs can be stolen, shared, or duplicated – leading to inaccurate audit trails.

PAC-BLU utilizes mobile credentials to provide security managers with accurate activity logs, empowering them to promptly take action on accurate data. Audit trails record a history of all types of events including unlocks, relocks, eKey assignments, and device modifications.

Assign eKeys​

eKey Flexibility​

In PAC-BLU, administrators wield unparalleled control through customizable eKey capabilities. Whether granting full access privileges, establishing time-based restrictions, enabling one-time-use keys, or setting expiration and start dates, administrators tailor access permissions to match specific needs.

This granular control ensures optimal security and flexibility, empowering administrators to adapt access permissions seamlessly to evolving requirements.

Device Groups

Save Time Assigning eKeys

Device Groups save time by simplifying eKey distribution for system administrators. For instance, administrators can create groups based on working shifts, ensuring that employees have access to the required areas during their designated hours. Alternatively, groups can be organized by building, allowing seamless access management tailored to different locations within a facility.

This flexibility empowers administrators to optimize access control strategies according to specific operational needs, enhancing efficiency and security across diverse environments.
