SALTO Systems

BaseCamp Student is a pioneering company in the popular and growing co-living space, operating nine student housing facilities in Denmark, Germany, and Poland, with more locations to come. Offering more than just rooms and great amenities, BaseCamp builds global student communities with a focus on creating lifelong friendships and enhancing the student journey. The BaseCamp building in Lyngby, Denmark, recently received a prestigious award from MIPIM for best residential development. The building is intended to be a sustainable community and intergenerational place of life for 900 students and seniors. Overall customer experience Inspired by the surrounding green area, it also aims to encourage its occupants to interact, both with nature and each other. When it comes to developing a sustainable and seamless experience for its guests, BaseCamp must think about the proper security for the premises. With many people entering and leaving, a state-of-the-art access control system is required. With SALTO KS, BaseCamp was able to have the desired flexibility and scalability to service multiple locations. The integration of Eagle Eye Cloud Video Management System (VMS) with SALTO allows BaseCamp to check who actually entered, and in addition, allows them to check the overall premises for cleanliness, research how the space is used, and improve the overall customer experience for its residents and guests. Valuable artificial intelligence New Eagle Eye Cloud VMS and SALTO KS installations were done in Leipzig and Dortmund Recently, new Eagle Eye Cloud VMS and SALTO KS installations were done in Leipzig and Dortmund, Germany. “We are continuously striving to build and operate a global community focused on enhancing the student journey,” says Elizabeth Cox, Baselife Director for BaseCamp Student Operations. “So, when we set out to find a security partner, we sought one that was willing – and able – to be as creative as our students and our spaces. We found this in Eagle Eye Networks. Its video surveillance solution captures video for security purposes, but because video is stored in the cloud, it opens up unlimited access to valuable artificial intelligence – information that helps us and our residents make better decisions,” continues Elizabeth Cox. Video surveillance system “For example, management can use data to understand which amenities are used most often, informing future designs and builds. And students can engage with the system, as well. They may want to check the laundry room in real-time to determine if machines are available.” “Or pull data regarding gym occupancy before heading to work out. By using our video surveillance system creatively, we’re enhancing the spaces where our residents live, learn, work, and connect – now and in the future.”

Salto has introduced IDM Connect, a smart integration layer within the Salto ID Management portfolio that connects Salto smart access platforms with external business systems. It provides a secure, standardised way to manage identity and access data across environments. For organisations that rely on multiple platforms to manage people, credentials, and access rights, keeping systems aligned can be complex and time-consuming. Manual synchronisation can lead to inconsistencies, operational errors, and increased security risks. IDM Connect helps address these challenges through automated, reliable data exchange between Salto systems and third-party platforms. Access control management platform Starting with the Salto Space access control management platform, IDM Connect supports identity lifecycle processes and access governance, helping ensure that user data, credentials, and permissions remain consistent across systems. The solution is built around two complementary models: Cloud Space API: A modern cloud-based REST API hosted by Salto and secured with OAuth 2.0 authentication. It eliminates the need for clients to manage on-site servers and provides a scalable way to integrate external systems with Salto Space On-premises connectors: Certified, ready-to-use connectors installed locally to automate synchronisation with specific third-party systems, including Lenel OnGuard, KONE, and Schindler Maintaining consistent framework Together, these models let organisations choose the approach that best fits their infrastructure and integration requirements while maintaining a consistent framework. “The Cloud Space API is accelerating innovation across the Salto Technology Partner ecosystem,” said Sam Weiss, Salto Americas Category Manager, Technology Solutions. “By making it faster and easier to build embedded capabilities, we’re enabling more Technology Partners to create solutions that deliver delightful experiences for customers.” Key capabilities include: Automated multi-system synchronisation: Keep identity and access data aligned across systems without manual re-entry, with scheduled or near-real-time synchronisation, where supported Centralised access management: Manage users, credentials, access levels, door operations, and mobile key delivery, across one or multiple installations from a single integration layer Clear setup and monitoring: Structured configuration, connection monitoring, and API usage visibility help technical teams deploy and manage integrations Security and compliance by design: OAuth 2.0-authenticated API access, encrypted credential storage, secure data transport, and GDPR-ready data handling aligned with Salto standards The initial phase focuses on Salto Space. The integration layer is designed to support additional Salto platforms and third-party systems over time. Learn more about Salto IDM Connect.
