LiftMaster®, a leading manufacturer of access control systems, introduced IPAC (Internet Protocol Access Control), the first Internet-enabled outdoor access control system with Voiceover Internet Protocol (VoIP).

Using an Internet connection, IPAC quickly transfers voice and data, eliminating long-distance fees and dependence on old analog phone lines, giving high-rise, gated community and commercial and industrial facilities more robust access control.

LiftMaster is the number one brand of professionally installed residential garage door openers. Central to the products’ new features is IPAC’s ability for property managers to access their system’s data from any browser or device, anywhere, anytime.

Unlike other outdoor access control systems, IPAC does not require a dedicated computer or installed software, allowing for management of resident information from any browser through web-based software.

IPAC also stores up to 50,000 residents ensuring extensive system memory space for large communities and facilities.

"LiftMaster is committed to ensuring our customers can connect to and control their access systems, even when they aren’t physically on site," said Scott Blue, Director of Marketing. "The ability for IPAC to leverage a high-speed connection, instead of dialup with a traditional analog phone line, allows our customers to work smarter, not harder."

IPAC also includes LiftMaster’s Security+ 2.0™ patented technology that ensures a strong and reliable signal to access property quickly and safely.

A large color touchscreen interface provides easy and familiar navigation for all customers, residents and guests, and a full keyboard search lets guests quickly find residents without having to scroll manually ? increasing efficiency for communities.
