VirtueCom · entrance kiosk & barrier control

From the door to the barrier.

A tablet at the entrance checks visitors in: they register themselves, verify their phone, and ring the tenant — who opens the gate right from the call. And every open command rides an encrypted link to the relay hardware that drives your barrier.

Smart Access, Secure Premise

An unmanned door is either locked to everyone or open to anyone— unless something at the door can check people in properly.

VirtueCom is that something. Here's one visitor, door to barrier:

One check-in

Check in, ring the tenant, walk through

01 / SELF-REGISTRATION

The visitor does the typing. Self-Registration

Name, phone, NRIC or vehicle number, and the unit they're visiting — entered by the visitor at the kiosk, not copied down by a guard.

02 / VERIFIED BY PHONE

The number has to be real. OTP Verification

A one-time code goes to the visitor's own phone — any country code — and locks the number once verified. A per-site option, rate-limited and single-use.

03 / BLACKLIST CHECKED FIRST

Screened before anyone is disturbed. Blacklist Screening

A blacklisted visitor sees a clear denial on the spot — the attempt is logged, security is alerted with high priority, and the tenant is never bothered.

04 / THE TENANT DECIDES

The kiosk rings their phone. Video Intercom

Video or voice, set per site. The tenant sees who's asking and taps Open right on the call screen — no answer, and the kiosk offers a retry, then returns to idle on its own.

05 / THE LAST METRE

An encrypted command drives the barrier. Encrypted Barrier Control

The open command rides Bluetooth to the VirtueRelay module — AES-128-GCM encrypted, replay-protected, answered with a confirmed "Opened" from the hardware itself. A captured packet is useless a second time.

Pre-approved visitors

Expected? Just show the QR

Tenants pre-register guests from their own app; the guest arrives with a pass already on their phone. At the kiosk it's one scan.

One scan QR Check-In

The front camera reads the pass from the guest's phone — nothing to install, nothing to type.

opens from a link

Checked hard Gate-Time Screening

Visit window validated, pass pinned to its own site's entrance, blacklist re-checked at the door — a hit after pre-approval still denies.

unguessable token

The gate opens itself Auto-Entry

A valid pass fires the barrier straight away — drive-in or walk-in, with no one to wait for.

Everyone in the loop Live Notifications

The tenant's phone is pinged on arrival; oversight dashboards bell live. A double scan can't double-log.

VirtueRelay · barrier control hardware

Any barrier becomes a smart barrier

A compact relay controller that wires into the barriers, gates, and doors you already have — and takes commands only from authenticated VirtueSecure apps.

1
Commands that can't be forged AES-128-GCM
Every command arrives AES-128-GCM encrypted and authenticated — anything not minted by an authorised VirtueSecure app is simply discarded.
2
Replays bounce off Replay Protection
Each command carries a one-time counter and a fresh hardware-generated nonce — a captured packet is useless a second time.
3
Drop-in outputs Any Barrier
Independent relay outputs wire straight into your existing barrier, gate, and door controls — each output driving its own entrance.
4
Confirmed actuation Hardware ACK
The module answers every command with an encrypted status, so the app can show "Opened" — confirmed by the hardware, not assumed.

Works with: Any existing barrier, gate, or door — no replacement needed
Outputs: Independent relay channels — each drives its own entrance
Link: Bluetooth Low Energy from the entrance kiosk
Encryption: AES-128-GCM, authenticated
Replay protection: Counter-based, hardware-random nonces
Actuation: Momentary 500 ms pulse · open / close per channel
Feedback: Encrypted status acknowledgement per command
Commanded by: Kiosk check-ins, gatehouse & command-centre approvals, tenant calls

Hardware & posture

Built to stand at the door

Self-recovering on every path Kiosk Self-Recovery — idle timeouts return every screen to the welcome page; network and Bluetooth calls are time-bounded so nothing ever hangs. Success or failure, the visitor always sees a clear result.
Two kiosk modes Kiosk Modes — one-button call to the gatehouse, or full visitor self-service — set per device, and switchable live from the gatehouse without touching the kiosk.
Visitor slips in hand Thermal Slips — a Bluetooth thermal printer hands the visitor a branded slip on check-in; templates are managed per site and changes apply live.
Provisioned in minutes Fast Setup — the kiosk registers itself on-device: site lookup, email verification, printer pairing. No engineering visit required.
