## How RFID Vehicle Access Works

**Install the Long-Range RFID Reader -** Set up Swiftlane’s vehicle access reader at any vehicle gate where hands-free access is required on your property

**Add a Windshield Sticker -** When a vehicle with a Swiftlane windshield sticker approaches the gate, the reader detects the tag and triggers the gate to open automatically

**Get Secure Access Logs -** All access events are securely logged in the Swiftlane management dashboard, providing a reliable audit trail for secure property management

## Hands-Free Access for Residents

Forget losing clickers or rolling down windows at each entry. With Swiftlane’s windshield tag and reader, doors open automatically – even from 20 feet away.

**How It Works:**

1. Residents drive up to the gate.
2. The long-range reader detects and verifies the windshield tag.
3. Gates open immediately, and entry is logged in the cloud dashboard with a timestamp.

## Guests and Delivery Vehicles Enter Independently with Pre-Assigned PINs

Residents approve all deliveries and guests visually before the gate opens. Administrators can grant or revoke vendor access in seconds, without a site visit.

**How It Works:**

1. A visitor or driver pulls up to the video intercom.
2. They can choose to enter using a pre-assigned PIN or call the resident for a two-way video call.
3. The resident sees live video, verifies who’s there, and unlocks remotely from the Swiftlane app.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does the RFID windshield tag work?

Residents mount a small Swiftlane RFID tag sticker on their windshield. As their vehicle approaches the gate, the long-range RFID reader detects the tag from up to 20 feet away and opens the gate automatically.

### Can mobile app or CarPlay be used instead of windshield stickers?

Yes. Residents can open the gate from the Swiftlane app, through Apple CarPlay directly on their vehicle's dashboard, or with a Siri voice command.

### How does it handle visitor and delivery vehicle access?

Visitors, vendors, and delivery drivers get time-limited PINs entered at the gate keypad, or the resident can buzz them in from the Swiftlane app after a video intercom call.

### Does it work with existing gate hardware?

In most cases, yes. Swiftlane integrates with existing gate operators (swing gates, sliding gates, barrier arms) using standard relay connections. If you already have automated gates, you typically only need to add the RFID reader, the video intercom (optional), and the cloud controller.

### What happens when a resident moves out?

Their RFID tag and all associated credentials are deactivated from the dashboard in seconds. New residents are provisioned with their own tag as part of the move-in workflow. For properties integrated with a PMS, this happens automatically based on lease dates.

### Does the system work during power or internet outages?

Yes. Access decisions are cached locally at each gate, so authorized vehicles can still enter during internet outages. For gates in remote locations without reliable internet, Swiftlane supports cellular connectivity as the primary or backup network.
