Product
Cloud access control for residential communities.
Manage doors, gates, amenities, residents, and staff across every property from one account — with real-time control and a complete record of who went where.
Built for property operations
Apartment communities are not office buildings. Residents move in and out constantly, staff turn over, contractors need access for an afternoon, and the doors that matter are as often a gate, a mailroom, or a gym as a front entrance.
The Destech platform is built around that reality: fast onboarding and offboarding, access that can be granted for a window of time, and an event history that answers questions after the fact without a site visit.
Capabilities
- 01
Multi-tenant management
Manage multiple properties, buildings, and door groups under a single account, with separate administrators and permissions per property.
- 02
Real-time door control
Unlock, lock, and hold doors open on demand from the management dashboard, and see current door and device state as it changes.
- 03
Resident and staff access
Add residents, staff, and contractors, set the doors they may use, and revoke access immediately at move-out. Temporary and scheduled access is supported for vendors and short-term needs.
- 04
Mobile credentials and keycards
Residents unlock with their phone, and keycards and fobs remain available for anyone who prefers them or has no smartphone.
- 05
Device integration
Destech readers and controllers cover new installations, and the platform can also operate alongside existing door hardware where replacing it is not practical.
- 06
Event history and reporting
Every access event is recorded and searchable by door, person, and time range, and can be exported for incident review or property reporting.
- 07
Alerts
Notifications for the events that need attention — a door held open, an access attempt that was denied, a device that has gone offline.
- 08
Mobile-friendly management
The management interface works from a phone or tablet, so on-site staff are not tied to the leasing-office desktop.
Two ways to deploy
Installations differ by property. Both approaches are managed from the same platform and can be mixed across doors on one site.
Standalone
Install a Destech reader at each door for tap-to-unlock access with mobile credentials and cards.
Overlay on existing hardware
Keep the door hardware already in place and let residents unlock through Destech, for a simpler and lower-cost installation.
