Same security. Different setup.
Which option is right for you?
Both options use the same FIDO2 cryptographic standard — bank-grade identity verification at your door. The difference is how your household receives the signal.

Option 2 · Seniors & No-Phone Households
VerifiedAmbient™ Dedicated Reader
Best for seniors, elder care facilities, and households without smartphones. Wall-mounted, always ready, no app required.
Best for:
- ✓ Seniors living alone
- ✓ Elder care and assisted living facilities
