With our revolutionary app, closed community residents can send invitations/authorizations to their guests/vendors smart phones and they in turn show the received QR Code at the security gate to get prompt entrance to the community. The resident receives a message when the QR Code is validated at the gate to let them know their guest/vendor has arrived. Invitations can be sent for a set period of time, for single entry or multiple entries and can also be revoked after they are sent. By utilizing the system we can decrease processing time for guests at your gate from an average of 2 minutes to about 12 seconds greatly reducing congestion and the need for additional security personnel at the gate.
