Gate Sentry serves as the community’s software for managing visitor admissions. However, it is important to note that Gate Sentry does not have control over the guards’ decision-making process when it comes to admitting visitors. Therefore, if a resident comes across an unfamiliar visitor, we highly recommend reaching out to the security team management to conduct an investigation regarding the admission of unexpected or unknown individuals to their home.

As the visitor access management provider, Gate Sentry is not directly involved with the guards themselves. We do not manage the gate staff but only provide the software they use to admit visitors. To address this issue, we recommend reaching out to your guards or the security company responsible for overseeing their activities.

At Gate Sentry, our primary service is to provide a visitor access system that enables guards to log visitors. If you are experiencing issues with visitors not being logged, we advise you to contact the security company responsible for the guards or directly reach out to the guards themselves.
