QR codes are not just for ordering food anymore. @lobibox1269
In this episode segment, Brian T. Frederiksen speaks with Josh from Lobby Box at the California Alarm Association about how the company is bringing modern access control technology to gates and entry systems. Josh explains that Lobby Box works with mobile apps that let residents or property managers see visitors at the gate, grant access remotely, and create custom visitor codes for guests. He highlights the platform’s flexibility, including the ability to send access by text or email and to set codes with specific days, times, and usage limits. A standout feature discussed is Lobby Box’s support for QR code-based access, which allows a visitor to simply scan a code at the gate instead of manually entering a PIN. Josh also notes that the system includes a wireless transmitter/receiver board designed to reduce the cost and complexity of wiring directly to a gate. The conversation ends with mention of branded app options for dealers and manufacturers, along with a website and direct contact information for those interested in learning more.

(400 words)All right, I'm over here at the California Alarm Association. I ran into Josh here from Lobby Box. I haven't seen one of these things before. Tell everybody a little bit about Lobby Box and what this is. Calls to a mobile app to let somebody see the visitor at the gate. They can provide access. They can create custom visitor codes to send somebody. Okay. So, um you know, we do a lot with telephone systems in our industry for the fence and gate industry. Besides the relays, you have some wireless controls and things like that. Yeah, that's probably one of our most unique differences here is we have a wireless transmitter receiver board that basically allows us to reduce a lot of the costs that go into having to wire right to a gate. So, but you have another unique feature that a lot of people don't have. It actually will send them not only a code or a link to push, it'll actually show a QR code at their end. Exactly. How does that work? Send somebody a QR code where users or residents can create a code in the mobile app. It's custom days, times, number of uses. They can text it or email it to somebody and it gives them a pin code or a QR code that they can scan right away. And that all is done through the Lobby box mobile app or if we have a deal with somebody where they want to brand it, we can also make a branded mobile app. So it can have the dealer's name or the other manufacturer. And I know that QR code is not in the system, but show me what that looks like on here. If somebody's going to do it, press the code here and they just hold their phone up and scan. So you can see that bar going up and down trying to It's basically searching for a QR code. Yep. Or you can just punch in a code down here. Wow, that is really cool.
