● Painful to use
● Must run and maintain local servers
● Manual data entry
● Isolated from other software
● Awful to deploy
● Tedious to manage
● Cumbersome to update
● Built for professional services
instead of end user

Lockdown = “a state of isolation or restricted access instituted as a security measure.”

FAQ

❖ Who can initiate a lockdown?
➢ Place admins only
❖ Does every door have to be locked down individually or can all be done at once?
➢ Each door individually
❖ How can we disable the lockdown afterwards?
➢ Just hit the toggle again
❖ When doors are locked down - can anyone get in or out?
➢ Nope—that’s the point! Manual key unlocks and panic bars still work, if
enabled
❖ Can lockdowns be automated?
➢ No—they are an emergency override feature only (though you can
schedule all doors to be locked individually)
