The different types of Bluetooth Credentials
Use this article to learn about the different types of Bluetooth Credentials.
There are 2 types of Bluetooth Credential, these are:
Proximity Only:
The proximity mode works with a range of 20cm, so the phone must be held close to the reader to register.
However, this method is hands-free - meaning that you do not need to press any button on the phone for the reader to register the resident/visitors' presence.
Proximity & Long Range:
Both proximity & long range mode has all of the functionality of the proximity access, but with the added long-range ability. Long range access works up to 15m away from the reader; however, action must be taken on the phone to unlock the door due to security concerns. The user must press the door release button on the K App to release the door in long range mode.
To let the user know they are in range of the reader, the door release button on the K App will go from 'grey' to 'blue' - the button is then pressable to unlock the door.
