LobiBox

Solutions / Parking Access Control

Parking access control

Resident and visitor parking.
One connected platform.

Manage gated parking from the entry lane to the exit lane. LobiBox brings video intercom, resident credentials, visitor codes and cloud administration together for garages, gated communities and resident parking lots.

Three ways to run a gated lot.

Start with how your property handles visitors and exits. Every option uses the same LobiBox Cloud, tenant mobile app and admin portal. LobiCom central reception is available as a licensed add-on.

Managed In / Managed Out

Control both directions. Residents use credentials at entry and exit; visitors use a Visitor Unit on the way in and out. Entry and exit events are logged. Best for communities and garages that need to control and track departures.

Managed In / Free Exit

Keep the same managed entry, with a vehicle detector opening the exit gate automatically. No exit credential or exit Visitor Unit is needed. Entry events are logged; free exits are not managed or logged by LobiBox.

Residents Only

Use credential-controlled entry and exit lanes without a visitor lane or Visitor Unit. Access levels and schedules determine who can enter and when. Add an optional IP call box for residents who need assistance.

Resident credentials

Every way in, managed together.

Choose the credential options that fit your residents and lane layout. Manage access levels and schedules from one admin portal.

Mobile app

Residents tap to open an authorized gate from the iOS or Android app. A cloud command operates the LB-A2D gate relay, without a separate card or tag.

Access card or fob

Present a proximity card or fob at the resident-lane reader or the Visitor Unit’s built-in reader. The LB-RFID-1 uses 125 kHz credentials and a Wiegand connection to the controller.

Windshield tag

Offer hands-free, long-range entry as a vehicle approaches. Compatible third-party tag readers connect through Wiegand to the LB-A2D.

License plate

Let the plate serve as the resident’s credential. The LB-ANPR camera sends the plate as a Wiegand 26-bit credential to the LB-A2D controller.

Local credential storage: Controllers store credentials locally, so card, tag and plate access can continue if the internet connection drops. Mobile cloud commands and remote calling require connectivity.

Visitor entry

A clear arrival process for guests and deliveries.

Visitors can use a scheduled code or QR code at the Visitor Unit, call a resident, or contact LobiCom reception. On managed-exit sites, they can use a Visitor Code or one-time exit code, or call for release.

Visitor code creation and entry controls in the LobiBox app

Create and share

A resident creates a visitor credential in the app, or an administrator creates one in the portal. Send the code or QR link by text or email.

Arrive at the gate

The visitor enters the code or scans the QR code at the Visitor Unit. Visitors without a code can call a resident or reception.

Open and record

Valid access opens the gate and records the event. Codes expire after one use or at the end of their scheduled window, depending on the code type.

Scheduled Visitor Codes and QR codes

Set a start and end date for repeat visits. Tenants can issue codes for up to 30 days; access levels can allow up to a year. Every code includes a secure, randomly generated QR link.

Quick Codes and exit codes

Create a one-time Quick Code for a delivery, courier or contractor. For controlled exits, provide a one-time exit code. Administrators can review who issued each code and when it was used.

LobiBox mobile app

The gate, in every resident’s pocket.

The iOS and Android app combines gate access, visitor calling and visitor scheduling.

LobiBox mobile app screens for resident access and visitor calls

See visitors before answering

Live video appears in the app before the resident picks up. The resident can speak with the driver and grant or deny entry.

Manage everyday arrivals

Open permitted gates, schedule visitor credentials, share Quick Codes and review call history from the app.

Keep calls moving

Redirect calls while away or use vacation mode. With SIP licensing, calls can ring a cell phone, landline or VoIP phone, with rollover between app and phone.

LobiCom central reception

One operator, multiple gates and properties.

Give a front desk, guard booth or remote reception team a central dashboard for visitor calls and gate operations.

Verify visitors by video

Receive a call from a Visitor Unit, see and speak with the driver, confirm who they are visiting and release the gate. The event is logged against that lane.

Manage gate operations

Open, hold or time a gate release; review access-point and network status; disable visitor access; and route calls to the appropriate desk or guard by shift.

LobiCom is a licensed module. Integrators can support on-site reception or offer remote reception and after-hours gate monitoring as a recurring service.

Hardware and project planning

Build the right equipment list for each lane.

Combine LobiBox access hardware with the gate equipment selected by your installation team.

LobiBox outdoor video intercom

LB-VUOD1117W

Outdoor video intercom for visitor lanes, with tenant calling, visitor code and QR entry, reception calling and a built-in card reader.

LobiBox two-door access controller board

LB-A2D

Readers and assistance

LB-RFID-1 card readers, LB-ANPR license plate cameras and compatible third-party tag readers support resident lanes. An optional LB-IPCB IP call box provides a SIP assistance call to reception or a guard phone.

  • Gate operators, barrier arms, vehicle loops and gate safety devices are supplied by others.
  • Count one controller reader input per reader technology per lane. A lane with card, plate and tag readers uses three inputs.
  • For free exit, the vehicle detector connects directly to the gate operator. Use managed exit when departure logging is required.
  • Gate-position contacts can connect to controller status inputs when gate status is needed in LobiCom.
