Primary connection is by Bluetooth enabling operation directly from Phone / Tablet or remote regardless of availability of WiFi, making it useable in underground carparks and remote areas.

There’s an integral manual key-override enabling manual removal of the Intellipost, the same key opens the battery compartment for recharging and access to the reset.

Over the air updates can be pushed to your Intellipost while in-range and using the Intellipost app.

Our standard battery with average use of 8 raising/ lowering cycles a day, will last approximately 30 days. The battery level will decrease slowly even without operation, the receivers and internal circuit boards are always on.

Intellipost uses a secure 256bit end to end encryption between your post and phone. This is the same standard as used by banks and national security services. Experts have calculated that to hack using conventional methods would take over 507 BILLION YEARS.

Although not yet independently certified, we have extensively tested in-house, using an average vehicle at 20mph for impact, and forced attacks with hand tools, it has never failed. Our main lock is also certified and we are in the process of being ‘secure by design accredited’.

Accidents happen, and assuming the impact was of moderate speed/force (sub 20mph), in most circumstances the Intellipost can be removed without damage to the ground unit and replaced. This requires no excavation and usually takes less than an hour, with reduced pricing over a complete unit.

In short…no. Our batteries have capacity for over 30 days use for most customers, however this depends on actual daily usage, and ambient temperature. Unfortunately the lithium ion technology in our battery packs will hold less charge when ambient temperatures are below 7 degrees celsius, but this will actually increase in the warmer months too. We based our 30 days on 8 up/down cycles per day.
