HID Mobile Access vs AlertMedia

HID Mobile Access® merges security with convenience by enabling a smartphone or other mobile device to securely open a door or gate. If you would like to start using HID Mobile Access® in your organization please visit http://www.hidglobal.com/services/mobile-access to learn more about the service and compatible readers. The App will only be useful to you once your organization has been setup with compatible readers and your security administrator can issue Mobile IDs. To improve the door opening experience, we detect readers when the app is not open. Location Services is used exclusively for this purpose.

NOTE: This app is for employers and employees already using AlertMedia’s emergency communication software. AlertMedia enables organizations to rapidly identify threats that impact their people or business and communicate faster to impacted individuals. Perform under pressure and protect your people from anywhere with our intuitive, full-featured mobile app. For administrators: AlertMedia’s mobile app gives you agility and visibility during critical events, wherever you are. In just a few clicks, you can send a multi-channel notification from your phone using the same intuitive screens you’re familiar with from the web or by leveraging your pre-built templates. In addition to sending notifications, you can easily manage your incoming messages and responses, connect with stakeholders via conference call, update event pages, and receive real-time warnings for any local threat that may impact your people or business. For employees: If your organization uses AlertMedia, download the app to ensure you never miss important communications. From the app, you can easily view new notifications, reply with helpful information, respond to surveys, and check event pages for updates from your organization. In the event you need to report an incident to administrators, you can quickly signal for help with your location attached. NOTE: This app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which can decrease device battery life.
