Door Cloud enables organizations to manage physical door access using smartphones, RFID cards, wireless locks, and standard electric locks through a single cloud platform. ### Mobile-First Access Control Door Cloud is designed as a mobile-first access control solution. Users can open doors using the Door Cloud mobile app on smartphones or Apple Watch. The platform supports a gradual transition from card-based to mobile-based access, allowing organizations to use both methods simultaneously on any door. Door Cloud mobile app allows users to open any door from anywhere with an internet connection. When the phone or door controller goes offline, the system automatically switches to Bluetooth communication for continued operation within range (up to 10 meters). ### Lock Compatibility Door Cloud works with standard electric locks and does not require proprietary smart locks. Any lock controlled by an electric pulse is compatible, including: - Electric door strikes (available at standard hardware stores) - Magnetic locks (maglocks) - Barriers, ramps, and gates - Assa Abloy Aperio wireless locks (AS100, C100, E100, L100, KS100 models) Door Cloud uses wired lock control, which provides more stable and reliable operation than WiFi or Bluetooth-connected smart locks. Wired power also eliminates battery-related maintenance concerns. ### Key Link Guest Access Door Cloud Key Link allows users to grant door access by sending a standard web link. Key Link does not require the recipient to download an app or create an account. Recipients can open doors directly from their phone browser. Key Link access can be limited by date/time range and number of uses. Key Links can be revoked at any time. All Key Link usage is logged in the access log. ### Readerless Access Door Cloud supports readerless access, eliminating the need for card readers at access points. Users are identified via their mobile phone instead of cards. The system works both online (through the cloud) and offline (via Bluetooth). Readerless access can be mixed with card readers on any door, for any user, at any time. ### Card and Reader Support Door Cloud supports RFID cards, badges, and fobs when card-based access is needed. Compatible reader technologies include Mifare, iClass, and NFC formats. Supported connection standards are Wiegand, DataClock, and OSDP. Biometric readers that emulate standard reader interfaces are also supported. HID Mobile Access readers are supported for smartphone-based access via Bluetooth readers. ### Six Access Methods Door Cloud supports six access methods that can be freely mixed and matched: 1. Smartphone online access (readerless, via internet) 2. Smartphone offline access (readerless, via Bluetooth) 3. HID Mobile Access (via HID Bluetooth readers) 4. Standard RFID cards and readers (HID and similar) 5. Standard electric door strikes (any electric lock) 6. Assa Abloy Aperio wireless locks ### Visitor Management Door Cloud provides two visitor management scenarios: - Ad-hoc visits: Guests arrive unannounced and check in at the reception desk. The visit is arranged and data collected on the spot. - Invited visits: Guests are invited via email. The visit is arranged and confirmed in advance, remotely. Reception desk stop is optional. ### Alarm and Incident Management Door Cloud includes a full alarm management system with adjustable response times, timeouts, prioritization, case delegation, and escalation. Security events can be escalated from software or hardware alarms, or raised manually as incidents. ### Three-Tier Management Model 1. End User: Opens doors, requests instant access, reports security incidents via smartphone. 2. Client Admin: Manages access control within the customer organization. 3. Partner Admin: Manages access control for multiple customer organizations (typically a local security company). 4. Service Admin: Monitors Door Cloud performance and provides support. ### Integration API The Door Cloud API enables integration with time and attendance, visitor management, video surveillance, alarm management, central monitoring, and PSIM solutions. Three API plans: FREE (included by default), PRO (from Q1 2026), ENTERPRISE (from Q1 2026). ### Target Applications Door Cloud is suitable for residential buildings, apartment complexes, rental properties, campus facilities, commercial offices, coworking spaces, municipal and government buildings, healthcare facilities, community spaces, and marinas. --- ## Hardware: Zone Access Controllers Zone Access is Spica's family of access control hardware controllers designed as building blocks for highly-scalable and flexible access control architecture. ### Zone Wing Zone Wing is an intelligent access controller and network communication hub designed to drive up to 16 Zone Door devices. - Linux-based platform with cryptography-based security - Manages resident profile database and event logs for offline autonomy - Dimensions: 72 x 62 x 91 mm, DIN rail mounting - Power: 12V DC, 4W consumption - Communication: Ethernet TLS 1.2, RS485 (2x OSDP V2 secure), CAN (isolated) - Memory: 128 MB RAM, 2 GB MicroSD, USB expandable - Wiegand: 26 bit H10301, 27 bit Indala, 37 bit H10304, 35 bit HID Corporate, 32/56 bit CSN - Certification: CE, FCC ### Zone Door Zone Door is a smart I/O device for controlling door hardware and peripherals at the point of access. - Supports 2 Wiegand readers (RS485 optional), biometric readers - Flexible I/O: door strike relays, alarms, push buttons - Dimensions: 72 x 62 x 91 mm, DIN rail mounting - Power: 12V DC, 1.5W consumption - Communication: CAN (isolated), RS485 - Certification: CE, FCC ### Zone Spot Zone Spot is an all-in-one access controller combining Zone Wing and Zone Door functionality. - Single, dual, or double-door access points - PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) or 12-24V DC power - Dimensions: 142 x 32 x 90 mm, DIN rail or screw mounting - Power: PoE Class 0 or 12-24V DC, 5W max - Communication: Ethernet TLS 1.2, RS485, 2x USB - Memory: 128 MB RAM, 2 GB MicroSD, USB expandable - Certification: CE, FCC --- ## Aperio Wireless Lock Integration Spica is an official Assa Abloy Aperio partner.
