In an age where connectivity defines convenience, IoT-based access control has emerged as one of the most powerful innovations in modern real estate. Whether in gated communities or commercial spaces, the ability to manage entry, monitor movement, and automate security through connected devices has changed how we think about safety and experience.
What is IoT-based access control?
At its core, IoT (Internet of Things) access control connects devices, such as smart locks, scanners, cameras, and sensors, to a central platform. This integration allows real-time monitoring, remote access, and data-driven security decisions across every entry point in a building or campus.
Unlike traditional systems that rely on manual checks or standalone biometric readers, IoT-enabled systems are networked, responsive, and adaptive. They ensure that every gate, door, and barrier is part of an intelligent ecosystem.
ANACITY’s IoT-based access control, known as Tap and Pass, leverages a wireless, cloud-based access control system. It replaces the access cards and key fobs with smartphones through NFC, Wallet, and Bluetooth technology.
Why IoT-based access control matters?
Property owners and facility managers today face a dual challenge: maintaining robust security while delivering a seamless experience to tenants, residents, and visitors. IoT-based access control solves both.
Frictionless entry and exit: Residents, employees, and visitors can access premises through their phone. The smooth, touchless experience removes wait time at the gate without any paperwork! Find out 7 Reasons you Should Switch to Smart Access in your Workplace.
Data-driven security: Every access event is logged, time-stamped, and mapped to user identity, offering unmatched visibility and traceability. The ease of data access facilitates data analysis.
Centralised control: Security teams can manage multiple gates, devices, and communities from one dashboard. The system integrates with IoT sensors, ensuring real-time coordination between guards, admins, employees, and residents.

Integration with digital ecosystems: The true power of IoT-based access control lies in interoperability. Platforms like ANACITY integrate access control with visitor management, staff attendance, and facility booking – creating one connected environment for living or working.
Transforming the tenant experience: For residents and office occupants, IoT-based access can also be empowering. They can pre-approve visitors from their phones, get notified when guests arrive, and move freely between amenities without repeated verifications. This level of convenience not only enhances satisfaction but also builds trust and engagement, as users experience technology that genuinely simplifies their daily interactions.
