Use a fingerprint scanner to access your motorhome or caravan

Camping is more popular than ever before. More and more people opt for mobile travel and individual vacations. But who doesn’t know this: You're in front of the motorhome and looking for the key that has disappeared in the depths of your pocket.

This is where fingerprint scanners from ekey can help. The company showed how this works together with selected suppliers for camping vehicles at the Caravan Salon from August 30 to September 8, 2024 in Düsseldorf.

Smart access not just at home

Smart homes are on the rise - but why stop at your own four walls? The ekey dLine fingerprint scanner for motorhomes makes camping vacations possible without a conventional key. Your own finger becomes an individual key that is always with you and cannot get lost. Just like a smartphone, for example, you only need to put your finger on it to open the door. This means that all family members aged 6 and over can access their mobile home at any time without having to worry about where to put their keys on the beach or on outings. In addition, the alarm system can also be deactivated via the fingerprint scanner when the door is opened.

Fingerprint scanners as door openers for convenient camping vacations

The advantages are obvious: No more tedious searching for the key, nobody can lock themselves out, every family member has a digital key - because your finger opens the door. The mobile home is also locked at all times thanks to the fingerprint scanner and the everyday items and valuables stored inside are kept safe. And you don't have to think about locking up every time you need to do the dishes.

Flexibility thanks to the keyless access control system

It is also convenient to go to the beach or on outings where the key could be lost or stolen without it. And if someone wants to return early, there is no need to think about how the other family members will get into the motorhome later. Also, in direct comparison, access with ekey fingerprint scanners is 1,000 times more secure than the four-digit code of an ATM card.

Useful functions with a fingerprint scanner and its app at the campsite

The administration of the fingerprint scanner access control system is conveniently carried out via the ekey bionyx app. All authorizations and settings can be viewed there at all times. In addition to its practical functions, the design of the ekey dLine fingerprint scanner also stands out: It blends harmoniously into the door. The access solution with connection to the vehicle's security system is integrated directly into the motorhome. A solution for retrofitting is currently under development.
