Access Control Winners: Nexkey Core II Smart Lock Converter
Nexkey Core II is the next generation of the Nexkey Core, a Cloud connected, smart cylinder that transforms any mechanical lock into a Cloud-connected smart lock without additional hardware. Core II allows businesses to unlock doors, lockers and even cabinets with an iOS or Android mobile device, Apple Watch or tablet. Admins can instantly share or revoke access for a single credential with one click on Nexkey’s app wherever they are and easily manage hundreds of users with Groups on Nexkey’s Portal. There is a full audit trail to track every time the lock was unlocked or locked, and customizable reporting to visually show intelligent insights into occupancy and space usage. $299
Proxess Wire-Free Access Control
Proxess was formed to inspire end users and integrators to rethink the design and deployment of access control, by providing a wire-free smart locking solution, for near the price of a commercial Grade 1 mechanical lock. Proxess’ network-on-card and keys-on-phone technology reduces the need for most traditional and expensive wired doors in a system, dramatically reducing system design complexity, logistics, labor, cost and risk. Margins are thus able to be maintained, while simultaneously encouraging the regular addition of smart locks and the expansion of RMR across many times the number of doors in a traditional system. $739
