panel’s camera to gain access.
• Click on New Visitor QR Access Code
• Enter a Code Title. This is just a label for this QR Code so you know what it is for. Name it some-
thing like Leon’s Visit or Jesse’s Birthday Party
• Specify the Code Type. There are two dierent types of codes that can be created:
• Unlimited Use: All recipients that receive this QR Code can use it as many times as needed as long as
it is within the specied date/time range.
• One Use per Visitor: Each recipient that receives this QR Code can use it once at any time, as long
as it is within the specied date/time range. There will be a grace period of 5 minutes, in case
your visitor (for example) forgot something in their car, they can quickly run out and use their
code to regain access to the building.
• Specify whether or not you would like to be notied when your guest(s) arrive. Since each visitor will
receive a slightly dierent version of ths QR Code, the system will know which one of your visitors has
arrived when a QR Code is used, and can alert you right away.
• Specify which residence you wish to Allow Access To. This is the apartment or unit that you are granting
visitors access to. This will dictate which door panels will accept the QR Code as valid - any door
panel associated with the building your residence is in will recognize the codes. Please note that the
management at your various residences may disable this feature. Those residences will not appear for
selection and QR Codes can not be created for them.
• Specify the date/time range that this QR Code will be valid for. By default, Visitor QR Access Codes can
be valid for a maximum of 2 weeks, but that limit can be adjusted by management.

You will be presented with a large text box to enter your guests’ contact information. Once you have
entered your guests as outlined below, click the Share button.

QR Codes with one another. If they do, AlphaTouch™ will not be able to properly alert you to who is
arriving.

phone number with a comma). This will associate a name with the QR Code that is sent to each
guest.
oIf you do add names to your share list, and you specied that you want to be notied of guest
arrivals, your notication will include that guest’s name.
