Myth 1: "Parakey does not work with security alarm"ย 

Yes, it does! Parakey can control security alarm, both arming and disarming, and can be scheduled as needed. Feel free to look through the links below and the question is settled. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Here are the most common scenarios with wiring diagrams:

Myth 2: "Parakey only works on perimeter protection"ย 

Do you have Parakey on your perimeter protection, like it (๐Ÿ’™) and wish it could be used in more places in the property? It can be done! - The possibilities are endless.

Several of our customers also use Parakey for tenants' offices, conference rooms, common areas, elevators, garages and also technical rooms and technical cabinets - something that our customers Corem and Hemsรถ see great benefits with.ย 

This gives you consistently full control, high security and smooth and cost-effective access management. Plus really satisfied users! ๐Ÿค

Myth 3: "Parakey is just a complement to 'real' access control system"ย 

Not at all! Parakey works just as well stand alone as to enrich an already existing access control system ๐Ÿš€

Myth 4: "Parakey is not safe enough"

Security is a top priority for us and Parakey is actually much more secure than many other solutions.ย 

  • All unlocking is done offline via encrypted Bluetooth, and our devices are not connected or exposed to the internet.
  • We have been involved in developing SSF 3523 and are now certified against it as well as SSF 1075 - our way of jointly driving safety forward in the industry. It is worth noting that Parakey already meets the requirements of the standards today.ย 
  • In addition, we have data storage within the EU, 2FA in the Parakey Web Portal, unique encryption keys, etc.

Two square-shaped products for mobile access. One is blue and blurred in the background, the other is black and clearly visible in the foreground. Behind the front product, round rings in white are visible to demonstrate that the product provides longer range to the rear product. The text "Parakey Range Extender - Access just got extended" is visible at the top of the image.
