One door, one lift, one yard — the terminal decides who gets through and when. The right of entry can be a plate, a code from a phone or a card, and the list updates from the terminal itself instead of somebody handing out passes.
Barriers and gates at company yards, residential complexes and warehouses. The plate list is kept in the portal, and visitors get a one-time code.

The terminal
a door, a barrier or a lift
The two housings to the same scale. A door or a lift takes the compact; a barrier in front of a yard takes the large one, because it stands outside on its own.
Worked example
Worked scenarios
An office building with a staff car park
1
Each tenant gets a number of spaces and manages their own plates in the portal.
2
An employee enters on their plate. A new colleague becomes valid the minute they are added.
3
A guest gets a one-off code on their phone and types it at the terminal.
4
When somebody leaves, the row goes and their right disappears the same day — with no pass to collect.
A yard with scheduled deliveries
1
The supplier is listed by truck plate and a time window in which they have access.
2
Arriving inside the window, the gate opens by itself and the entry is logged.
3
Outside the window the gate stays shut and security gets a notification.
4
The log shows who came and went when, with no notebook at the gate.
A residential complex with a monthly fee
1
The resident pays the fee at the terminal or from their phone — by card or in cash.
2
The payment opens their access for the month, with no manager ticking anything off.
3
Those who have not paid simply do not get through; no conversation at the gate is needed.
4
What was collected shows in the portal, by flat and by month.
How it connects
Door, barrier, turnstile or lift: a relay output with a dry contact to the external-authorise input.
Recognition: a plate camera, a one-off code from a phone, or a contactless card — separately or together.
Rights are kept locally, so the door opens with no link. Changes sync once the internet returns.
The log records who passed and when, and reaches the portal — with no notebook at the gate.
Frequently asked questions
What is an access control device?
A unit that decides who passes a door, a barrier or a lift, and when. With us the right can be a plate, a one-off code or a card; the list is kept in the portal and lives in the terminal itself.
Does it work with a lift, or only doors?
With anything that has an external-authorise input — a door, a barrier, a turnstile, a lift. The relay in the terminal closes that input the way a button or a reader would.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The list of rights lives in the terminal itself, so the door opens even with the link down. Changes sync once the internet returns.
What happens in a power cut?
That is a question for the barrier or lock, not the terminal — most release mechanically without power. The terminal comes back by itself and does not lose the list.
How many people can be on the list?
The limit is practical, not technical — we run sites from a few flats up to fleets with several hundred plates.
