Control Access Remotely with Avigilon Alta Mullion Smart Reader
The Mullion Smart Reader by Avigilon Alta supports remote unlocking via the Seam API.
Beyond admin or staff workflows, you can embed an "Unlock" button directly inside your customer-facing app, allowing authorized end-users to open a door, gate, or locker themselves during their reservation or membership window—no front-desk hand-off required.
This pattern works particularly well for:
- Spas, wellness, and yoga studios: let members unlock treatment rooms, lockers, or studios on arrival
- Golf practice ranges: unlock bays, ball machines, or driving-range gates from the customer's app
- Tennis and racquetball clubs: authorize court access during the booked time slot, with no front-desk hand-off
- Fitness studios and gyms: give members 24/7 self-service entry tied to their active subscription
- Co-working spaces and shared offices: let members open the front door or private suites from a branded app
You can also trigger unlock actions programmatically—for example:
- Add a button in your app or admin dashboard to unlock a door or gate
- Allow staff to remotely grant access during a reservation
- Enable backup access in case a user cannot use their code
- Build simple interfaces for operators to manage access live
Combined with scheduling or reservation logic, this allows you to create flexible access experiences—for example, enabling a "Unlock" button that only works during an active booking time window.
