In short
SmartPlus is Akuvox’s intercom app and cloud service. It lets residents answer video calls from the door station, open the door remotely, monitor the entrance, receive alerts and issue virtual keys. For managers it allows devices and residents to be managed from a browser. It is a subscription service.
What can the resident do?
- Answer the door station’s video call on the phone, at home or away.
- Open the door remotely.
- View the entrance camera live.
- Receive alarm alerts and messages from the property manager.
- Issue virtual keys to visitors, for example for a specific time window.
What is My MobileKey?
It is Akuvox’s Bluetooth mobile key for compatible door stations. The phone acts as the credential: you open by waving your hand near the station or from a button in the app, with no card. According to the manufacturer, the credential is encrypted with AES-256 and integrates with its access management system.
What does the property manager or company gain?
- Adding and removing residents or employees without touching the devices.
- Managing cards, codes and time-based permissions.
- Maintaining and updating many stations remotely.
- Sending notices to the monitors and the app.
