Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products, security and NineSmart.

NineSmart provides Smart Property, a platform for access control, visitor management, facility booking and property operations. Solutions can cover visitor registration, lift access, management-fee billing, mailboxes, car parks and AIoT monitoring, according to your project requirements.

Pricing covers the software functions, hardware, installation and integration required for your site. Share your requirements so the quotation can set out the applicable equipment costs, software fees and support arrangements, including any recurring charges.

Installation starts with assessing your site, existing equipment and integration requirements to agree the scope and schedule. For access control, the work may include readers, controllers, power connections and integration with door hardware.

Please share your site layout, existing hardware and system details, and the workflows you need. Network coverage, power, installation space and building-management requirements also need to be checked against the proposed equipment.

Residents can open their mailbox with a QR code or Octopus and receive a notification when mail arrives. Smart Mailbox covers mailbox access and received-mail notifications; parcel-locker requirements need a separate discussion.

Smart Car Park supports monthly and hourly parking, licence-plate recognition, and centralised records of entry, exit and parking duration. EV charging payment integration can be included as an optional part of the project.

AIoT connects sensor and AI CCTV events to work orders and staff-app notifications, including events such as lift-shaft flooding. The installed devices and configuration determine the monitoring and follow-up workflow. Monitoring does not itself provide automatic safety intervention.

You can discuss on-premises deployment with us for your project. We need to assess the selected products and server environment, and agree who will handle updates, backups and ongoing support.

The project proposal should confirm the hosting platform and location, data handling and maintenance responsibilities. Let us know about any data-location or dedicated-hosting requirements during planning so they can be assessed.

IoT lets physical devices exchange commands and records with software. An access reader can check a credential, for example, while a sensor can report an event for staff to follow up. The connected devices and system configuration determine which functions are available.

User and administrator permissions, authentication, encrypted connections and access restrictions should be reviewed for your selected software, devices and hosting environment. The project documentation should specify the included controls, configuration and maintenance responsibilities.

Some functions may be unavailable while a controller is offline; behaviour varies with the controller, access method and configuration. For your proposed setup, confirm which functions remain available, how permissions work and how records synchronise after reconnection.

The chosen deployment needs agreed availability targets, backup frequency, data retention and recovery procedures. Include any SLA or specific recovery requirements in your brief so the coverage can be assessed and documented.

NineSmart Core connects the system’s software and devices by coordinating their data flow. Server and controller components process requests and device commands, using the interfaces and functions specified for the selected equipment and integration scope.

NineSmart develops IoT hardware and software for property management. Our solutions cover access, booking and day-to-day property operations for site users and management teams.

We welcome enquiries about technology partnerships and reseller or distributor opportunities. Tell us about your organisation, the customers or sites you serve and your proposed collaboration so we can discuss a suitable partnership.
