Problem
Many multi‑tenant buildings rely on legacy phone‑based door entry systems that lack video verification, making them appear outdated and reducing appeal to tenants and buyers. Replacing these systems with modern video entry solutions is costly, requires wall repairs, and introduces vulnerable large LCD panels that attract vandalism.
Solution
Visible Access offers a compact adapter that attaches to existing phone‑based entry hardware, adding a built‑in camera and wireless connectivity without the need for demolition or rewiring. The device streams live video of visitors to a free smartphone app, allowing residents to see, speak to, and grant access to guests remotely. Integration with the building’s current resident directory eliminates the need to re‑enter contact information, while remote programming lets property managers configure settings centrally. The adapter is weather‑resistant and discreet, preserving the building’s aesthetics and reducing maintenance compared to fragile LCD panels.
Target Audience
Primary customers are property owners, managers, and leasing agents of multi‑family residential complexes, condominiums, and commercial office buildings that use existing phone‑based intercom systems.
