Unified physical security for every building, garage and amenity in your community.
Multifamily and Apartment Access Control Solutions
Unified physical security for every building, garage and amenity in your community.
Multifamily properties turn over residents constantly, run on lean on-site teams and spread entry points across lobbies, garages, package rooms and amenities. When access control, intrusion and building systems come from different vendors, every problem becomes a round of phone calls and nobody has the full picture.
Protege GX brings access control, intrusion detection and building automation together in one physical security platform. Residents get one credential for everything they’re allowed to use. Property teams get one view across every building, with a local ICT integrator installing and supporting the system.
Apartment access control with less to manage
One platform, perimeter to penthouse
Access control, intrusion detection, elevator control, building automation and 24/7 alarm monitoring all run on Protege GX. Your team learns one system, and your integrator supports one system.
Turnover-ready credentials
Once your integrator sets up access levels, front desk staff enter a new resident’s details and Protege GX grants access to the building, parking, elevators and amenities that unit is entitled to. At move-out, one change removes it everywhere.
Manage it from any browser
The optional web client runs in any modern browser, so there’s no software to install on staff workstations. Property managers can add residents or check activity from the office, the leasing center or another site.
Protege GX is built to adapt as your property changes. More than 50 integrations connect it to wireless locks, elevators, video intercoms and video surveillance, so you add capability without ripping out what’s already installed.
Scalable security for one building or a full portfolio
Protege GX is the brains of your property’s security. Logic lives on the controller at your site, so if the internet drops, the door still locks. Owners and operators manage access, protect residents and see what’s happening across every building from one platform.
- Enterprise-grade access control, intrusion detection and building automation
- Controller-first design that keeps working when connectivity doesn’t
- Few recurring software fees, so operating costs stay predictable
One view of every entry point
End-to-end resident entry
- Protege GX, the Tenancy Portal and ICT Entry Stations work together, so resident credentials stay current and video intercom calls reach the right unit at every entry.
- The Tenancy Portal keeps a detailed audit trail of every change, so your team always knows who granted access and when.
- With mobile credentials in the ICT Mobile App, residents and property managers unlock doors and answer video intercom calls from their phones. Credentials are encrypted and contactless, and there are no keys or cards to collect when residents move out.
Automation and building management
Protege GX connects to building automation and control systems, so apartments and common areas use energy only when someone is there.
- Smart lighting: Lights turn on when an apartment is disarmed or motion is detected.
- Temperature sensors: The thermostat adjusts based on occupancy.
- Programmable functions: Non-essential appliances turn off automatically.
- Event-driven automation: Lighting and HVAC run only when specific areas are in use, which cuts wasted energy and operating costs.
Keyless apartment entry without rewiring
Wireless locks integrate with Protege GX, so you get full-system control and one-card credentials across external and internal doors without rewiring or replacing hardware. Retrofits in occupied buildings cause far less disruption for residents.
- Wireless and offline locking: Bring apartment doors into the same system as your hardwired entry points without running new cable.
- One-card credentials: A single DESFire card opens hardwired ICT RFID readers at entries and common areas, plus integrated wireless apartment locks.

Explore multifamily success storiesKey features
Elevator control
Elevator integration limits each resident to their own floor and shared amenity levels, and keeps people moving through the lobby at busy times.
Perimeter security
Stay arming mode secures the building perimeter while residents are home. Wireless detectors extend intrusion detection to places that are hard to wire.
Video surveillance
Integration with a range of CCTV systems lets you control cameras and review live and recorded video alongside access events in Protege GX.
Parking solutions
Bluetooth tSec readers, ICT wireless remotes, Wiegand long-range readers and license plate recognition (LPR) give you options for gated lots and parking garages.
Community amenities
Control access to clubrooms, gyms and pools, so management can offer amenities by subscription or let residents reserve them.
Package rooms
Limit package room access to residents and couriers, with an audit trail of every entry. Fewer missing packages means fewer calls to the front desk.
Wireless & offline locking
Wireless and offline locks give every apartment keyless access without the cost of hardwiring each door.
Building management
Integration with building management systems lets you control HVAC, lighting, energy, fire and elevator systems from one platform.
