Everything you need at every entry
Action Initiated: Photo Capture
Get visual ID on every visitor. The unit can snap a photo automatically on a call button press or other access event, then deliver it straight to you via push notification—so you always know who’s at the gate before granting entry.
One-Way Video Calling
See who’s calling without being seen. When a guest places a call from the unit, you receive live video on your device while your camera stays off, giving your eyes on your entry point while preserving your privacy.
Guest Passes
Grant access on your terms. Issue time- and use-limited QR codes that let visitors, deliveries, or service providers open the gate during a defined window—then expire automatically, with no permanent credentials to manage or revoke.
Rollover & Broadcast Calling
Never miss a visitor. Assign multiple phone numbers to each entry: sequential “rollover” calling dials up to 3 numbers one after another until someone answers, while “broadcast” calling rings up to 10 numbers simultaneously on a single button press—ensuring a connection is always made.
Locally Saved Data
Stay running even when the network doesn’t. Credentials and access permissions are stored on the unit itself, so authorized users can still gain entry during a cellular interruption, with activity syncing back to Summit Control once connectivity is restored.
Gate Status
Know the state of your access points at a glance. Check whether a gate or door is open or closed remotely and in real time from your computer, tablet, or phone—no trip to the property required.
Anti-Passback
Tighten security and stop credential sharing. Anti-passback prevents the same credential from being used to enter again before it has been used to exit, blocking “tailgating” and pass-backs to keep your access logs accurate and your property secure.
Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
Open your gate without picking up your phone. Integration with CarPlay and Android Auto lets drivers grant access directly from the vehicle’s dashboard, keeping entry hands-free and eyes on the road.
Control
Stability & Scalability
Summit Control is when a collection of independent devices become a truly managed access system.
Summit Control is purpose-built exclusively for the Ascent hardware family. One vendor. One support call. One system where the hardware, the connectivity and the cloud management are all engineered to work together from day one.
