PDK Intercom Integration: Add Video Visitor Calling to Your ProdataKey System

PDK access control panels, card readers, key fobs and a smartphone app

Quick Answer: DoorVi is an official ProdataKey (PDK) integration partner. A visitor scans a QR code, video-calls the resident, and the resident taps Unlock in the DoorVi app, which triggers the linked PDK door or gate. PDK keeps controlling credentials and locks; DoorVi adds the visitor-facing layer.

How the PDK integration works

  1. A visitor scans the DoorVi QR code at the gate or entrance. No app download is needed.
  2. They pick the resident from the directory in the browser.
  3. The resident gets a video call in the DoorVi app.
  4. The resident taps Unlock, and DoorVi triggers the linked PDK door or gate.
  5. PDK unlocks, and the visit is logged with the timestamp, the unit and who granted entry.

What stays in PDK and what DoorVi adds

PDK is a cloud-based access control platform used in gated communities, offices and multi-tenant buildings. It controls the lock but has no visitor-facing communication layer. DoorVi does not replace PDK. It works alongside your existing setup and does not change your existing access rules.

Frequently asked questions

Does DoorVi replace PDK?

No. PDK keeps controlling your doors, gates, credentials and access rules. DoorVi adds the visitor layer: a QR code, a video call to the resident and a resident-triggered unlock.

Do I need new wiring or an entrance panel?

No. Visitors scan a QR code with their own phone and video-call the resident, so there is no panel and no wiring to each unit. The unlock goes through your existing PDK system.

Where do I find my PDK System ID?

In PDK, open System Settings and then General. Enter the System ID in PDK Manager in the DoorVi panel, together with a PDK System Name. The setup guide shows each step.

Can visitors get in without a resident answering?

DoorVi has six-digit guest codes and visitor pre-approval passes for expected visitors. Ask the DoorVi team how they apply to your doors before you promise them to residents.

How is it priced?

Up to $5 per unit per month, with no setup or installation fee. One unit covers up to 6 members.

What support does DoorVi provide?

You can raise a ticket with the DoorVi support team, and it is resolved within 24 hours. The PDK setup guide covers the connection step by step.
