Products[edit]
Openpath Access is a mobile-enabled, cloud-based access control system. The Openpath system can be an all-inclusive access control solution or retrofit an existing system. The Openpath app runs in the background and communicates to the Openpath Smart Reader over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular.[4] The Smart Reader connects over RS-485 to the Openpath Smart Hub, an expandable four-door controller. The Openpath Control Center is a web-based administrative portal where facility managers can add users, credentials, entries, schedules, and audit access logs. At ISC West 2019, Openpath released its Elevator Board, with support for 16 elevator floors.[5] Later that year, Openpath launched Lockdown, a feature that lets users create customized plans and lock down entries remotely for lockdown protocols.[6] Openpath products use modern security practices like end-to-end, AES encryption, as co-founder and security researcher Samy Kamkar noted "...there are areas of physical security that have been ignored for years and are extremely inconvenient for users."[7]
