The Reason we Built Community Tech. Residents and visitors report being stuck in line for anywhere between 30 Minutes to Three Hours.
Enabling Guards with Technology. In a time where everything is replacing humans, we empower guards with digital authorization.
What to Expect. A simple path from first login to visitor entry.
Receiving Your Temporary Password. Your first email gets you into GateWatch.
Logging In for the First Time. Set your password and confirm you can access your account.
How to Send a Visitor Key. Create a secure digital key before your guest arrives.
What the Visitor Key Looks Like. The digital key is what the visitor shows at the gate.
