QR and Card Access
Control ID supports QR and card-based entry, giving organisations flexibility across staff, visitors, contractors and temporary users.
QR access is ideal for short-term permissions, while card access remains a familiar option for regular users.
SIP Enabled Intercom
Control ID includes SIP enabled intercom functionality, allowing visitors or users at an entry point to communicate with authorised personnel before access is granted. This is useful for reception areas, gates, service entrances, delivery points and remote entry locations.

Standalone or Integrated with Openitem
Control ID can operate as a standalone solution with its own dashboard, or integrate with the broader Openitem platform. Customers can deploy it independently for a specific site or connect it into Openitem when broader access control and reporting are required.
