LiftMaster Access Control & Intercom Systems

LiftMaster Access Control

LiftMaster access control brings smart video intercoms, Smart Access controllers, card readers and long-range RFID readers into one cloud-managed system for doors and gates. All Security Equipment carries the LiftMaster equipment that property managers, homeowners associations and installers use to control entry at apartment buildings, gated communities and commercial sites. Every LiftMaster Smart Access device is managed through myQ Community, the LiftMaster cloud platform.

Compare entry methods side by side: video calls at the entrance, cards and phones at a reader, or hands-free tags for vehicles. Start with the number of doors and gates to control, then confirm each reader and controller works with your intercom. For the full LiftMaster keypad range, browse LiftMaster Keypads.

What is LiftMaster access control?

LiftMaster access control is an entry system that combines door and gate hardware with myQ Community cloud software. Smart video intercoms handle visitor calls, Smart Access controllers add controlled doors, and readers accept cards, fobs, phones or vehicle tags. Property managers add or remove residents, issue temporary access codes and review entry activity from the myQ Community app and web portal.

Types of LiftMaster access control equipment

LiftMaster smart video intercoms

A LiftMaster smart video intercom lets residents see and talk with visitors on a live video feed and open the gate or door remotely. For properties replacing an older call box or telephone entry panel, the LiftMaster CAPXS Smart Video Intercom S controls one door or gate and suits single-family homes and small buildings. The LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom-M controls up to two gates or doors, and the LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom - L serves larger residential communities and multi-tenant buildings.

The LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom - L keeps letting people in with locally stored codes when the internet is down. Each LiftMaster intercom also works with LiftMaster Smart Readers, so residents can enter with a card or phone at the same entrance.

LiftMaster Smart Access controllers

The LiftMaster CAP2D Smart Access 2-Door Controller adds credentialed access to two more doors or gates, with room for 25,000 local users and 6,000 logged events. The LiftMaster CAP2D Smart Access 2-Door Controller connects over cellular service or a wired internet connection. For larger properties, compare the LiftMaster CAP4AP Smart Access Controller, the LiftMaster CAPXAP Indoor Smart Access Controller Panel and the LiftMaster CAP4EXPND Smart Access Expansion Board. Pair a controller with LiftMaster Smart Readers to manage gate access, pool gates and elevators from one myQ Community account.

LiftMaster smart readers and card readers

A LiftMaster smart reader reads 125 kHz proximity cards, 13.56 MHz smart cards and fobs, and myQ mobile credentials on a smartphone. Residents can tap a phone on the reader or touch the reader while the phone stays in a pocket. Choose the LiftMaster SRDRSTv2 2nd Generation Single-Gang Smart Reader, the LiftMaster SRDRMMv2 2nd Generation Mullion Smart Reader or a keypad version such as the LiftMaster SRDRKPv2 2nd Generation Single-Gang Smart Reader with Keypad. Each LiftMaster card reader connects through a compatible LiftMaster intercom or controller; for more options, browse fob and card readers and key fobs and access cards.

LiftMaster RFID readers and tags

The LiftMaster RFID Long-Range Reader reads LiftMaster vehicle tags from 20 to 30 feet away, so residents drive through the gate without stopping. The LiftMaster LMUNTG Dual-Purpose Vehicle RFID Tag and the LiftMaster LMHNTG Rearview Mirror RFID Hang Tag work only with the LiftMaster RFID reader and are ordered separately. The LiftMaster RFID Long-Range Reader works with the LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom - L, the LiftMaster Smart Video Intercom-M and the LiftMaster CAP2D Smart Access 2-Door Controller.

LiftMaster keypads

The LiftMaster Wireless Commercial Keypad and the LiftMaster Wired Keypad and Proximity Reader give users PIN-code entry at a gate or door. Compare every model, including garage door keypads, in the LiftMaster Keypads collection.
