With BluePass mobile credentials you can use your smartphone as a keycard or key fob. Download the BluePass app for use with the BluePass Readers, both made by Nortek Security and Control. No more fumbling with your keyfobs or cards, just present your phone to the BluePass Reader to open the door, or in some configurations, leave your phone in your purse or pocket and simply wave your hand in front of the reader to gain entry. No need to carry a fob or card, no more worries about misplaced or lost fobs or cards. The BluePass app that transmits the credential to the Reader uses very little power and merely needs to be running in the background. The app acts as a wallet and can hold multiple credentials. This app will be useful to you only when your organization has been setup with compatible BluePass readers and your security administrator issues mobile credentials (IDs) to you. Nortek Security & Control’s BluePass Credential Management Ecosystem consists of smart device-based e-credentials and multi-tech Bluetooth/Prox readers, providing for a more secure, easy-to-use approach for credential management.
