The problem
The Gate Is Where Community Security Breaks Down
Paper & phone calls
- Handwritten registers no one can search later
- Guards phoning homes to confirm every guest
- No record of who was actually on duty
- Boards guessing when residents complain
With GuardWatch
- Residents approve visitors from the app
- Guards scan a QR pass at any gate
- Attendance and entries logged automatically
- Committees review searchable history anytime
How Entry Works at Any Gate
-
1
Resident approves the visit
A pass is created in the resident app and shared with the guest as a QR code.
-
2
Guard scans at the gate
The pass confirms who approved the visit — no phone call to the house.
-
3
Entry is logged
Visitor, host unit, time, and guard action are recorded digitally.
-
4
Managers review anytime
Searchable logs and guard attendance are ready for the next board meeting.

Gated Community FAQs
What counts as a "gated community" for GuardWatch?
Any residential community that controls entry at one or more gates — HOA-managed housing societies, villa compounds, gated subdivisions, and gated apartment or condominium complexes. The same visitor-pass, guard, and log tools apply whether you have a single manned gate or several block entrances.
We are a housing society, not an apartment tower. Is this still for us?
Yes. Housing societies and HOAs are the core use case. There is a dedicated housing-society page with board-focused detail, and this page links straight to it — along with the apartment-community page if you manage vertical blocks.
How does entry work across different community layouts?
Residents approve visitors from the app and share a QR pass. Guards scan that pass at whichever gate the guest arrives at, and every entry is logged digitally. The workflow stays the same across single-gate and multi-gate communities.
Can one management company run several gated communities on GuardWatch?
Yes. Operators managing multiple communities can run each society or compound with its own units, guards, and logs. If you staff guards across sites, the security-company view adds multi-site attendance visibility.
