Fast, secure access with QR Solo
A cost-effective alternative to keypads or fobs—QR Solo lets users log in or out using printed or phone-displayed QR codes.
How it works
Simple steps, fast access
Code issued
Tenant receives their QR code via the BearBox app or as a printable PDF when their tenancy starts.
Tenant arrives
Holds phone screen or printed card up to the QR reader at the gate.
Code scanned
Reader verifies the code against the live access list in real time.
Gate opens
Access granted. Scan logged with timestamp, code ID, and gate location.
Why it matters
Security that adapts to your operation
QR Solo is the secondary reader that completes a Bearbox site. The touchscreen keypad handles the main gate — branded, multi-method, the first impression every tenant and prospect gets. QR Solo handles everywhere else: corridor doors, zone entries, additional gates, and unit-unlock stations inside a building. Tenants hold up a QR code from the Bearbox app or a printed card, and the right thing opens — a gate, a zone door, or the tenant's own BearLock if the reader is mounted in their corridor. Code issuance is automatic through your rental software, revocation is instant, and every scan is logged with the same audit trail as the full keypad. A purpose-built scanner for one job, deployable at every access point on site.
BearBox-built hardware
QR Solo is a compact reader manufactured by BearBox — a purpose-built, cost-effective alternative to the full touchscreen keypad.
Phone or printed code
Tenants show the QR code from their phone screen or a printed card — both work with the QR Solo reader.
Synced from rental software
Codes are issued automatically when a tenancy is created — no manual setup per customer.
Instant revocation
End a tenancy in your rental software and the QR code stops working immediately — no grace period.
Full scan audit trail
Every scan is logged with the code ID, timestamp, and gate — useful for access disputes.
Fast scan-to-open
Typical scan-to-gate-open time is under 3 seconds — no slower than a fob for a trained user.
