Door entry for properties
A door entry system with no hardware at the door.
A poster on the door that looks like the panel it replaces. The visitor's own phone is the bell. The resident's ordinary phone is the handset. A controller we supply, on the building's Wi-Fi, opens the lock.*
How a visit works
Scan, tap a property, talk, and the door opens.
1. The poster is the panel
The visitor points their camera at the QR on the door poster. The bell page opens with a button per property. No app, no account, and it loads fast on a weak signal.
2. Every resident's phone rings
Each person in the property gets a Telegram message with a photo of who is there and Open door and Not now buttons, and their ordinary phone rings at the same time. First answer wins.
3. Press 2 and the door opens
On the phone call the resident hears who is at the door and presses 1 to talk or 2 to open. Only a keypress counts, so voicemail never answers the door. The visitor's screen turns green.
Resident portal
The building talks back.
Residents sign in with a text message code, not a password. They see the building status board and notices, their own call log, and can report a problem with a photo in under a minute. The manager's reply lands in the same thread.
Quiet hours, Telegram linking and door snapshots are the resident's own choice.
For managers
Issues, trades and jobs, with no numbers shared.
Every report becomes an issue with photos and a timeline. Reply to the property, post to the status board, or send the job to a trade. The trade gets a link by Telegram, text or email and marks the job done from their phone. The resident confirms it is fixed. Nobody sees anyone else's phone number.
Documents for renters with the UK checklist, messages to a floor or the whole building, and staff logins for your own maintenance people are all in the same panel.
What is in the box
The door phone is the product: the poster, the visitor's phone as the bell, the resident's phone as the handset, and the call log. Three options sit on top, and a building turns on only what it wants.
Poster, sticker, claim cards
Printable from the panel: an A5 or A4 poster that looks like an entry panel, a 100 mm door sticker and a claim card per property.
Phone line too
A caller who cannot scan rings the building line, keys in the door's dial code and the property number, and lands in the same flow.
Telegram with a photo
The visitor page can send one camera frame with the ring, so the resident sees who is there before opening.
Status board option
Front door, lift, bins: each with a green, amber or red dot and a line of text, shown to every resident. With notices and messages to a floor.
Letting management option
Tenancies with the rent invoicing itself, deposits and their protection, and the papers a renter must be given: tenancy agreement, gas safety, EICR, EPC and the rest, with a coverage table per property. Turnovers and inspections too.
Issue management option
Residents report a problem with a photo, it becomes a job, the job goes to a trade, and an on-call rota covers the urgent ones.
Opening the door
A controller we supply, wired to the lock release the building already has and joined to Wi-Fi at the door: one a door, 100 GBP installed, with a router on a mobile SIM where there is no Wi-Fi. Ring only works for a concierge desk where somebody walks down, with no board at all.
