Inside a Kisi System: Controller Pro, Reader Pro, and Cloud Dashboard
Kisi is a cloud-based access control platform built on three parts: the Kisi Controller Pro wired to your door locks, the Kisi Reader Pro or Terminal Pro mounted at each entry point, and the Kisi cloud dashboard that runs everything from a browser. Safe and Sound Security specs, installs, and configures all three so the system works on day one. The Controller Pro processes every unlock request and connects your door locks and readers. The Reader Pro and Terminal Pro accept mobile and card credentials at the door. From the cloud dashboard, admins add or remove users, set access levels by group, and read real-time entry logs for any door across any site. Kisi delivers firmware updates over the air, so the platform improves without a hardware swap. We match the right hardware to each opening and wire it to your network, whether you run one door or hundreds across several buildings.
Hands-Free and Tap-to-Unlock Entry
Enter hands-free by waving a hand at the Kisi reader, or tap a phone, badge, or card to unlock.
Unlock Any Door From the Kisi Web Dashboard
Admins unlock any door from the Kisi phone app or the web dashboard, across every location on the account. Grant entry to a guest at another building without leaving your desk.
Kisi Phone and Apple Wallet Credentials
Kisi turns a phone into a credential, including a badge in Apple Wallet, so you retire metal keys and the cost of reissuing lost cards.
Kisi Open API Integrations
The Kisi Open API connects to directories, visitor management, and other security tools, so access runs on one layer.
We Configure the Kisi Dashboard, Not Just the Hardware
Choosing Kisi is the easy part; setting it up so it performs is the work. Safe and Sound Security configures the full Kisi cloud dashboard, builds your access groups, migrates existing users, and tunes the readers and network so unlocks are fast and reliable. A manufacturer’s product rating cannot tell you whether the install team will get that right. We are a commercial security integrator with hundreds of Google reviews from businesses across the country, and those reviews reflect the installation and support work. We also service what we install for the life of the system, so the same contractor that set up your Kisi system handles changes and repairs later.

One Team for Kisi Hardware, Wiring, and Rollout
Safe and Sound Security is a Kisi installer and integrator, not just a box reseller. We start with a site assessment, count your doors, and recommend whether to deploy Kisi from scratch or retrofit your existing openings. Then we handle the full install: mounting readers, wiring controllers, configuring the cloud dashboard, and testing every door. For companies with more than one building, we plan and run multi-site access control rollouts so every location uses one dashboard with consistent access policies. As a licensed low-voltage contractor, we also handle the structured cabling and network work a cloud system depends on, under one contract. You get one team for the hardware, the wiring, and the support, backed by Safe and Sound Security’s nationwide commercial security experience.
How Secure Kisi Is: NDAA Compliance and Encryption
Kisi hardware is made in the USA, and its products are NDAA Section 889 compliant. The platform encrypts data in transit and at rest, adds two-factor authentication, and keeps role-based audit logs. It fits commercial, school, and office use. Federal sites needing FICAM or FIPS 201 credentials use a platform we also install.
What a Kisi System Costs: Subscription, Hardware, and Install
A Kisi system has three cost parts: a per-door software subscription billed monthly, one-time hardware (the Controller Pro plus a Reader Pro or Terminal Pro at each door), and professional installation. Your total depends on how many doors you secure and whether you build from scratch or retrofit existing openings.
Cloud access software runs on a per-door, per-month plan, which replaces the cost of on-site servers and recording hardware. Adding doors and choosing a legacy retrofit over new wiring both move the number. Because Kisi updates its hardware and plan pricing over time, we quote current figures against your door count rather than publish a list that goes stale.
Safe and Sound Security prices the hardware, the subscription, and the labor in one proposal. Get a quote and we will size the system to your building.
Ongoing Kisi Maintenance: Firmware, Readers, and Credentials
Safe and Sound Security maintains Kisi access control for the life of the system, not just through the install. With more than 19 years installing and servicing commercial security, our technicians keep the parts that fail quietly working: controller firmware, reader hardware, network connectivity, and the credential database.
We check each part of your Kisi system on a schedule, push firmware and dashboard updates, replace aging readers before they drop offline, and clean up user and access-group records as staff change. If a door stops responding, we diagnose and repair it as the contractor that installed your system. That continuity is why clients keep us on after the first install.
A Kisi Install Is Only as Good as Its Network Wiring
A cloud access system lives on your network, so the install decides whether it performs. Safe and Sound Security is a licensed low-voltage contractor, and our technicians handle controller placement, reader wiring, and network design so Kisi stays online and fast. We size each access control installation to your building and test every door before handoff.
Kisi vs Openpath
Kisi and Openpath are both cloud access control platforms Safe and Sound Security installs, so we help you pick rather than push one. Openpath, now sold as Avigilon Alta and owned by Motorola Solutions, is a touchless, cloud-native access control platform. Kisi runs on a browser dashboard with real-time entry alerts and a mobile app.
The right choice depends on your building, your existing hardware, and whether you already run other Avigilon or Motorola gear. If you want to weigh Openpath and Avigilon Alta against Kisi, our commercial access control team walks you through the trade-offs with your door count and integrations in hand.
Deploy Kisi From Scratch or Retrofit With a Wiegand Board
You can install Kisi two ways: from scratch with new controllers and readers, or as a retrofit that keeps your existing wiring, locks, and credentials. The Controller Pro is Wiegand compatible, so it connects to legacy access hardware and you move to cloud management without replacing working doors. Safe and Sound Security assesses your current system and picks the path that costs and disrupts less. We also connect Kisi to your other security systems through its Open API and prebuilt integrations, and sync users from your directory or CRM.

Kisi Features:
Automated Provisioning
Kisi connects to your identity directory or CRM so access groups stay in sync. Grant, revoke, or change a person's access from the app, and directory integration keeps provisioning consistent as staff change.
Lockdown for Access Control
One tap puts Kisi into lockdown mode, locking every door from the dashboard or app. Schools and offices use it to secure a building during an emergency.
Easy Access Sharing
Admins send mobile keys straight to employee and resident phones, each set to its own access level. Onboarding a hire or tenant is handled from the app, with no physical card.
Visitor Link Access
Kisi issues temporary visitor links that open set doors within a time window, then expire. Guests get in without a permanent credential.
Global Management
Manage every site, user, and admin role from one Kisi cloud dashboard. Access groups let you apply one policy across buildings or set door rules location by location.
Mobile Credentials
Unlock a door with one tap from the Kisi app, or open it remotely for a visitor without walking to the entrance. Admins can grant or revoke access from the phone wherever they are.
Remote Unlocking
Unlock a door with one tap from the Kisi app, or open it remotely for a visitor without walking to the entrance. Admins can grant or revoke access from the phone wherever they are.
Audit Trails
Kisi keeps complete audit logs of every access event, including door unlocks, doors held open, and lockdowns. Managers see who entered, which door, and when, which matters for incident reviews and audits.
Who Should Use Kisi
Government offices and agencies use Kisi to control who enters secure areas and to log every entry for review. It fits commercial and general-office government facilities. For high-security federal sites that require FICAM or FIPS 201 credentials, we install a higher-assurance platform instead.
Retail stores and shopping centers use Kisi to keep unauthorized people out of stockrooms and back offices, and to limit which staff reach high-value areas. Mobile credentials mean no keys to copy when employees turn over.
Construction sites use Kisi to keep crews in the right areas and thieves away from equipment. Cloud management lets you grant and revoke site access remotely as subcontractors rotate on and off the job.
Apartment complexes and office buildings use Kisi to give residents and tenants smooth phone-based entry while barring everyone else. One dashboard controls lobby doors, amenity rooms, and parking across the property.
Warehouses use Kisi to control dock and floor access, speed entry for staff, and see exactly who moved through each door. Audit trails help managers spot bottlenecks and unauthorized access.
Manufacturing plants use Kisi to protect production areas and inventory and to keep movement through the facility logged. Access groups restrict sensitive zones to trained, authorized staff.
Public safety and municipal facilities use Kisi to restrict entry to sensitive areas and record every access event. As with other government sites, areas that require federal credentials call for a FICAM-grade platform, which we also install.
Schools use Kisi to keep campuses secure and to lock down every door with one tap during an emergency. Administrators grant staff mobile access and issue time-limited entry for visitors and contractors.
FAQs
How secure is the Kisi access control system?
Kisi encrypts data in transit and at rest, secures accounts with two-factor authentication, and keeps role-based audit logs of every access event. Its products are NDAA Section 889 compliant and its hardware is made in the USA, which matters for government-funded work. Safe and Sound Security configures your access groups, admin roles, and logs correctly from day one.
How does Kisi access control work?
Kisi connects door controllers to a cloud dashboard over your network. The Controller Pro drives the locks, the Reader Pro or Terminal Pro reads credentials at the door, and the Kisi cloud dashboard lets admins manage users, set access levels, and view real-time entry logs from a browser or phone.
How much does a Kisi access control system cost?
A Kisi system combines a per-door monthly software subscription, one-time hardware for each door, and professional installation. The total depends on your door count and whether you install from scratch or retrofit existing hardware. Because Kisi updates its pricing and hardware over time, Safe and Sound Security quotes current figures against your building rather than a list price.
What companies and facilities use Kisi?
Kisi suits offices, multi-family and commercial property, schools, warehouses, and general government-office facilities that want cloud-managed, mobile-first entry. It is a strong fit wherever teams change often and physical keys are a burden. High-security federal facilities that require FICAM or FIPS 201 credentials use a different platform, which Safe and Sound Security also installs.
What are the best cloud-based access control systems?
Kisi, Brivo, and Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) are all cloud-based access control platforms Safe and Sound Security installs. The best fit depends on your building, budget, and existing hardware. We compare them against your door count rather than name a single winner.
Does Kisi work if the internet goes down?
Kisi is a cloud platform, so remote unlocks, live changes, and dashboard access rely on an internet connection. Proper network design at install reduces the risk, which is why Safe and Sound Security engineers the network and power behind the readers, not just the doors.
