Operations
The gate goes digital — even when the network doesn’t
Residents pre-approve guests from their app. Guards scan a QR on a cheap Android phone that keeps working offline. Every entry, exit and vehicle is on the record.
How it works
From zero to running
- 1
The resident invites
From their app: guest name, date, vehicle if any. The guest gets a pass — a link and QR sized to fit one SMS.
- 2
The guard scans
At the gate, the guard app scans the QR, shows who the guest is visiting, captures the vehicle plate, checks them in.
- 3
The estate sees everything
Who is on site right now, expected today, overdue to leave. Watchlist matches alert before the boom lifts.
- 4
The record keeps itself
Check-ins, check-outs, photos, plates — a searchable log replaces the paper visitors book forever.
Built for a real gate, not a demo
The guard app was designed for a guard on a cheap Android phone, at night, in the rain, with one hand. Big targets, few steps — and full offline operation: check-ins queue locally and sync the moment signal returns.
- Offline check-in with automatic sync
- Works on low-end Android phones
- Kenyan number-plate capture and normalisation
- Photo capture at the gate
Control without friction for residents
Residents approve or deny visit requests from their phone, see their guest history, and pre-approve the regulars. Security stops being a queue at the gate and becomes a tap on a phone.
- Visitor pre-approval and denial from the tenant app
- Walk-in requests routed to the host in real time
- Watchlists with alerts for flagged visitors or vehicles
- Visitor data export and deletion for privacy compliance
