PTI Security Systems Unveils AP1+ Smart Keypad

PTI Security Systems, a global leader in self-storage security (part of the ASSA ABLOY Group), introduced its AP1+ Smart Keypad. This innovative solution enhances gate access control with touchless mobile entry, a high-resolution integrated camera, and a two-way intercom, all within a weather-resistant design. The AP1+ builds upon the proven AP1 platform, elevating security and convenience for self-storage facilities.

As the U.S. self-storage market continues to grow, with over two billion square feet of space and one in three Americans renting storage units, customer expectations for convenience have evolved. Today’s tenants demand a contactless experience that aligns with trends in retail and hospitality. Mobile identification, digital wallets, and smartphone-based access have become the norm. The AP1+ meets this demand while ensuring top-tier security as crime rates rise during economic uncertainty.

Introducing the AP1+ Smart Keypad

The AP1+ Smart Keypad is designed to meet the needs of both self-storage operators and tech-savvy customers. It integrates cutting-edge cloud-based technology with insights gained from the AP1 platform.

“AP1+ represents PTI Security Systems’ commitment to innovation,” said Nathan Davenport, Chief Technology Officer at PTI. “We’ve blended modern design, mobile functionality, and robust security to create the next generation of access control.” Davenport added that the AP1+ combines an attractive aesthetic with superior security features, offering exceptional value to self-storage operators and their tenants.

Key Enhancements Include:

Integrated High-Resolution Camera and Two-Way Audio: The built-in 2MP wide-angle camera captures time-stamped images and optional continuous video, which integrates seamlessly with the facility’s CCTV system. High-intensity IR LEDs ensure clear visibility even in low light. The two-way intercom allows real-time communication with visitors, enhancing security with direct verification.

Weather-Resistant Clamshell Design: Made from marine-grade stainless steel, the 2mm chassis resists tampering and ensures durability. It’s designed for easy servicing and includes surge protection, backed by a two-year warranty.
Complete Control & Analytics: AP1+ connects to existing PTI systems without requiring additional hardware. Operators can configure settings remotely, monitor real-time status, and access detailed reports and alerts for multiple sites.

Touchless Mobile Access: The AP1+ integrates with PTI’s StorID mobile app, enabling tenants to open gates with a smartphone swipe or automatically when in proximity. The next-gen Bluetooth connectivity allows drivers to unlock gates from their cars. A backlit keypad offers an alternative entry method.

Easy Upgrade Path: AP1+ is compatible with PTI’s legacy APEX keypads and most competitor units, simplifying upgrades. Its modular design also supports future enhancements through remote updates.

By combining touchless access, real-time video, and instant voice verification, the AP1+ enhances both security and the customer experience. Operators benefit from remote management and diagnostics, reducing maintenance calls and improving response times during incidents. Additionally, video footage and clear visitor logs help deter theft and ensure that only authorized users are granted entry.

“AP1+ is designed based on feedback from both operators and tenants,” said Steve Reeder, Director of Marketing at PTI. “It brings a wealth of features and robust hardware together into a single, flexible solution.”

Availability

The AP1+ will debut at the SSA 2025 Fall Conference, Booth #435. Operators interested in learning more can contact PTI Security Systems' sales team for further details.
