Bearbox Access Control
The BearBox Self-Storage access control system is the only completely wireless solution available today.
How does it work?
- BearBox can control any door type - roller door, sliding gate, barrier, maglock or strike lock
- Wireless nodes, each capable of monitoring and controlling 8 doors, are installed on your site
- The relationship between your door number and the switch number on the node is set-up: either on our website, in RentPlus or other software
- This is automatically uploaded to the BearBox server along with customer PIN and other rental information - you're ready to go.
- All information is logged and displayed in real-time on the secure BearBox website
- A real-time animated site plan - based on CAD images - is available online or as a stand-alone application for display on any PC or Macintosh computer

| Feature | The Competition | BearBox |
|---|---|---|
| Reliable | Wiring and connectivity problems cause frequent issues. Many cannot be diagnosed remotely. | Wireless installation means no complex cabling/MUX issues. Errors can mostly be diagnosed and fixed remotely. |
| Wireless installation | Wired solutions are expensive, error prone and costly to fault-find and modify should you wish to change your layout at a later stage. Some “wireless” solutions merely replace the backbone – cabling. From the controller to the MUXs. Each door still needs to be wired to the MUX. |
With only 8 doors per “node” and customised “push to fit” cabling, installation is straightforward. Modifications can be made at any time and additional nodes can be added. |
| Control and monitor from anywhere | Requires talking remote control of the site-based PC, to which the controller is attached. This requires a high level of technical skill, a fast internet connection and has administrative issues (technicians require full access to your PCs). | Monitor your site from any Internet enabled computer via the BearBox website. Provide precisely the level of control you want to each employee. |
| Software | Install error-prone software which needs to be periodically upgraded. | None required - works entirely over the Internet. Our site evolves based on customer feedback but you don't need to change a thing. |
| Integration | PC with accounting software must be connected to controller. | Works over the Internet. You can be anywhere - allowing you to seamlessly manage multiple sites from a single location. |
| Security | Remote support only possible by granting access to the host PC - which also contains your accounting and other sensitive data. | BearBox can access our controllers entirely independently of your network. |
