The company CEO and President, Paul Bodell stresses that although the name has changed, it is still the same team, the same location and the same commitment to quality products and customer service.

With Vizpin is designed so that, as the slogan goes - “Your Phone is Your Key” and your network. This unique, patented system increases security, improves convenience and reduces cost.  Last month, the company introduced Vizpin Link for remotely managing Vizpin Reader-Controllers using a phone as the network.

Remote management of panel-based access control systems require a LAN (Local Area Network), ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the associated hardware and cabling which adds significant cost to the installation, administration and maintenance of the system. Vizpin Link allows for remote system management by using a phone as the key and the network.

Each time someone uses the Vizpin Smart app to unlock a door or control a device, Vizpin Link updates the device settings and retrieves system information using a secure, encrypted Bluetooth connection. The Vizpin Smart app knows if it has a data, cellular or Wifi connection and if it doesn’t, it will cache the encrypted information. When a connection is available, the Vizpin Smart app sends the information to the relevant private Vizpin Account in the cloud where users can manage and view it from anywhere.

“We continually improve the Vizpin experience for end-users and installers and Vizpin Link is a major breakthrough” offered Paul Bodell, “now Vizpin Certified Partners can update systems and change settings without rolling a truck, regardless of where the Vizpin Reader-Controller is and whether or not there is any network connectivity.”
