Read security & privacy overviewPermissions explained
- Camera — required for QR scanning in the Guard app.
- Storage / files — may be needed to open the downloaded APK on some devices.
- Location — used only when your community enables features that depend on it (for example attendance rules).
- Notifications — optional alerts for visit activity when enabled for your role.
Troubleshooting
-
Install blocked
Allow installs from your browser, then reopen the APK. Avoid third-party “APK mirror” sites.
-
Cannot sign in
Confirm your community is live and your admin created your user. Wrong community credentials will fail by design.
-
Camera will not open
Grant camera permission in Android settings for the Guard app, then retry a scan.
-
Wrong app for your role
Each role has its own app: Resident, Guard, Admin or Helper. Install the one for your role.

Download FAQs
Which app should I install?
Residents and households install GuardWatch Resident. Security guards at the gate install GuardWatch Guard. Community admins install GuardWatch Admin, and domestic staff and regular helpers install GuardWatch Helper.
Android says the install is blocked. What do I do?
On many Android devices you must allow installs from your browser or file manager once. Open Settings → security / install unknown apps → enable for that source, then open the APK again. Your community admin can share a short install guide during onboarding.
Is the iOS app available on the App Store?
iOS is currently in development. Android is available for pilots today — book a demo to discuss iOS timing for your community.
Do I need an account before downloading?
You can download the APK anytime. Signing in requires credentials from your community admin after your society or building is set up on GuardWatch.
What permissions does the guard scan app need?
Camera access is required to scan visitor QR codes. Location may be used for attendance or site rules your admin enables. We explain each permission during setup — nothing is requested without a product reason.
Who do I contact if login fails after install?
Start with your community admin (they issue roles and unit access). For platform issues during a pilot, use Contact or WhatsApp Sales for hands-on help.
