digiGate Pro provides total control of your electric gates, doors, bollards, barriers, lights and much more, all within one app. This app enables you to login and control digiGate Pro systems. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. It is therefore recommended that you put your device on charge while using the GPS function.
