OnGuard’s Mobile Credentials

A comprehensive system for mobile credentials

The complete Blue Diamond Mobile offering includes the Blue Diamond Mobile smartphone app, Blue Diamond Mobile BlueTooth®/RFID readers and Blue Diamond Mobile credentials, all tied together by the cloud server. These components tightly integrate with Lenel’s industry-leading OnGuard® security management system, allowing seamless issuance and management of mobile credentials.

OnGuard automatically emails a badge invitation to the cardholder and sends the badge number information to the Blue Diamond cloud server. The user receives an email with a link to download the Blue Diamond Mobile app, as well as an authorization code to activate the credential. At the same time, OnGuard automatically sends the user’s badge number and access assignments to a Lenel controller. The app authenticates to the reader, and the OnGuard Badge ID is transferred to the access panel. Authorization is granted or denied by the Lenel controller based on OnGuard access levels. With a single click, the OnGuard administrator issues a virtual credential to a user. As the user approaches an access point, readers are detected and displayed on his or her smartphone or watch. The user taps the desired reader icon to show intent to enter that door.
