## Five Smart Ways to Unlock Your Door

### Mobile App Unlock

Modern, reliable, and seamless access control for apartment buildings and offices. Unlock doors from anywhere with the Swiftlane mobile app.

- Encrypted signals for high security
- Swiftlane apps available for iOS and Android
- Supports Bluetooth (nearby) and remote door unlock (cellular)
- Efficient operation, designed to minimize battery drain on mobile devices

### PIN Code Access

No keys or phone needed. Generate secure PIN codes for residents, guests, cleaners or couriers. PIN access works especially well for temporary or shared access. Easy to distribute and revoke when needed.

### Remote Visitor Access

Grant secure visitor or delivery access even when you’re not home. Visitor dials the intercom; you see and speak with them via the app and remotely unlock the door.

### Face Recognition

Walk up to the Swiftlane Video Intercom and it will instantly recognize your face to unlock the door. Touch-free, fast and secure. Ideal for everyday use when you just want seamless, convenient entry without keys or codes.

- Advanced anti-spoofing via 2D and 3D depth data prevents unauthorized access
- SOC II certified, built in the US with strong privacy controls
- Your biometric data remains yours and privacy protected

### Voice-Enabled Access

## How Swiftlane Solves the Problems You Face Every Day

### Never Miss a Delivery Again

Deliveries should reach your building, not sit outside or disappear. Missed packages create stress for residents and extra work for you. With Swiftlane, delivery drivers call residents directly through the video intercom. Residents receive a video call, verify who’s there, and unlock the door instantly.

**Every delivery becomes secure, simple, and frustration-free.**

### End the Hassle of Key Cards and Fobs

Lost fobs, dead cards, reprogramming, and constant replacements drain time and budget. Swiftlane eliminates that entire burden. Residents unlock with their face, phone, or voice command, and access permissions update instantly through the cloud. Guests, cleaners, and contractors receive temporary codes in seconds.

**A modern access experience without the limitations of physical keys.**

### Eliminate Resident Complaints

Most resident frustrations begin at the front door — missed deliveries, unreliable buzzers, lockouts, and confusion around access. Swiftlane solves the problems that lead to negative reviews and unnecessary service requests.

**When access simply works, satisfaction rises and complaints disappear.**

### Cut Property Manager Workload by 80%

Access should manage itself, so you can focus on running the property, not opening doors. Swiftlane automates the tasks that typically require staff time:

- Manage access remotely through the cloud dashboard
- Create temporary PINs without onsite involvement
- Automatic photo logs provide clarity during incidents
- No rekeying, reprogramming, or maintenance trips

**Automation returns valuable time to your team to focus on real priorities.**
