Car park access control
STid Bluetooth readers let residents open the building’s car park gate from the driver’s seat, using the phone in their pocket or one tap in the app. The strata stops buying remotes that are lost, copied or never returned, and can cancel access in minutes.
The problem
How it works
A STid reader at the gate reads the resident’s encrypted vCard over Bluetooth. For longer distances, STid’s Spectre readers are built for vehicle entries and can identify drivers as they approach.
Compared

|---|---|---|
| Copy risk | Often copyable | Encrypted vCard |
| Cost when lost | New remote each time | Reissue the vCard, no hardware |
| Resident moves out | Remote often kept | Revoked in minutes |
| Visitors | Lend a remote | Time-limited credential |
| Record of who has access | None | Every vCard linked to a named person |
