HID is a mobile access solution that works just like a physical access card except using your mobile phone and the Activate app. HID works with Apple, and credentials are automatically added to your mobile wallet, allowing for frictionless tap-and-go entry.

Why use Mobile Access?
Mobile access replaces access cards and key fobs by transforming your mobile device into a digital wallet that can store multiple access credentials and open doors by tapping or bringing your phone near an access reader.
That means no longer needing to touch passcards, readers or common area surfaces in order to walk through lobby turnstiles or to open building doors.

Using Mobile Access with HID
If you chose Unlock automatically, approach the entry door with your mobile phone in your person with the app running in the background. The door will unlock automatically. It may take a few moments the first time, but it will get faster from then on.
If you chose Unlock while using the app, open the app to the foreground while approaching the door to unlock.
