Features & Capabilities

Focal Point Freedom is a mobile-access extension for Focal Point access control systems that lets you monitor and manage your building’s security from anywhere. From the app, you can view system activity and filter it by type, and issue commands to devices to lock/unlock doors, grant access, or control output points for lights and other devices.

You can deactivate and reactivate cardholders and system operators, acknowledge predefined alarms, and monitor alarms in real time. The download is free, but registration with the Focal Point system is required for operation.

User Reviews

User reviews describe Focal Point Freedom as unreliable and slow. Repeated issues include server outages, login failures, error codes, and timeouts that prevent gate access. When it works, it's often slow, with gates taking minutes to activate. Overall reliability is inconsistent, with many users reporting it works only a small fraction of the time. The concept of remote gate entry has potential, but the execution is lacking and requires significant engineering improvements.

Pros

Great concept for gate access via an app.
Some users reported it worked initially or intermittently.
The app is designed to enable gate access for apartment complexes.

Cons

Frequent server outages and connectivity errors (server not connected, error codes, downtime).
Login/authentication failures (cannot log in, 'user not found', PIN issues).
Chronic unreliability and inconsistency (works only a small fraction of the time).
Severe performance issues (extremely slow, long load times, minutes to open gates).
Access failures requiring retries or being stuck outside because gates won't open.

Recent reviews

Literally never works right. Terrible. It should have zero stars. My apartment complex used this app to open the security gates yet the app never actually works properly so i am stuck outside my apartment because the developers of this app aren’t capable enough to make it function properly
