Why are Fobs/Cards limited on the VIZpin System?

Because VIZpin access control is designed around using a smartphone as the network and transmitting information back and forth to the cloud-based portal, VIZpin FOBs/Cards are limited in order to ensure efficient use of the system. Smartphones are used to transmit key information from the server to the smart device such as reader settings, first-in hours, audit trails, etc. When you do not have enough smartphone activity, the system will get backed up and will require a user to refresh and unlock many times with a smartphone to catch up on data.

VIZpin Fob users should only account for a maximum of 20% of an account’s active users. In addition, each lever set can only support 32 FOBs, and each Door/Gate Controller (VP2) can only support 512 cards/Fobs. Fobs/Cards should only be used in a situation where someone does not have a smartphone or if you are transitioning an older system to smartphones.
