Door Controller Custom Configurations

Through the VTS Rise platform, we are able to configure how a door is unlocked and how how long the door can remained unlocked. In this article, you will learn how to add custom configurations to your door controller such as:
  1. Allowing staff and tenants to unlock the door from any location.
  2. Change the length of time the door remains unlocked after the unlock trigger happens.
  3. Restrict the door from being unlocked on certain days/times.

Allow the Door to be Unlocked by Staff or Occupants from any Location

Using a VTS Rise door controller can allow your staff and tenants the ability to unlock the door with or without being in the presence of a Beacon using LTE or Wifi.
This means your staff and tenants will be able to unlock the door from any location, whether they are at the property or not.

Step 2
Select Edit to the right of the door controller name you wish to allow staff and tenants to be able to unlock.

​


Step 4

Change the Length of Time in which the Door Remains Unlocked 

After a door is triggered to unlock by a visitor pass, occupant QR Code, Mobile, or Door Access, the door will remain unlocked for a specified time to allow the individual to open the unlocked door in time before the door locks again.
