What Our Customers Are Saying

Gated Community

Nicole James, Community Manager

"We used to get constant complaints about long waits at the front gate. Since implementing Gate Sentry, those complaints have dropped off dramatically. Residents like being able to send their own SentryPasses, and our guards aren't tied up making calls for every visitor."

HOA Board

Christopher Walker, HOA Board Member

"From the board's perspective, the reporting has been the biggest change. If there's ever a question about who came in on a certain day, we can pull a clean log right from the system. That wasn't possible before when everything was written down."

Gated Community

Emily Lukas, Property Manager

"Sentry Solo took away all the headaches of shared keypads. Now, every code is unique and time-limited. I spend less time dealing with lockouts and complaints, and more time focusing on residents."

HOA Board

Daniel Brooks, HOA President

"Our community used to spend thousands repairing old callboxes. Switching to Sentry Solo eliminated that cost completely, and our residents actually prefer it. It's modern, secure, and reliable."

Apartment Community

Peter Fowler, Leasing Manager

"I can pull reports anytime to see gate activity. That is helpful if there is ever an issue or a question from ownership, it is all there in black and white."

Gated Community

Jasmine Lee, Property Manager

"Rolling out a new system to both residents and guards could have been a headache, but this went smoothly. The guards picked it up quickly because the tablets are straightforward, and the residents appreciate not having to deal with callboxes anymore. Overall, it's taken friction out of the entry process."

Gated Community

Maria Palm, Resident

"With VirtualKey, I don't even need a remote anymore. I just tap my phone and the gate opens instantly. It's the simplest system we've ever had."

How Gate Sentry & Sentry Solo Compare

Two products, one platform, each compared against what it replaces.

Gate Sentry · Staffed Gates

Gate Sentry vs. Other Visitor Management Systems

For communities with guards at the gate, compared against legacy platforms built on gatehouse PCs, on-site servers, and hardware kiosks.

Feature	Gate Sentry	Other Visitor Management Systems
Guard workflow	Tablet-based, with no gatehouse PC or on-site server	Aging desktop PCs and on-site servers
Visitor check-in	A 3-second SentryPass scan from Apple Wallet or Google Wallet	Manual typing or physical license scanning
Internet outage	The guard tablet keeps working offline, and logs sync when restored	Check-in stalls when the connection drops
Resident app rating	4.8★ on the App Store from 9,268 ratings	Often low app-store ratings
Multi-property portfolios	One administrator login for multiple communities	Separate accounts at each property
Ban lists	Property-wide and household bans, with alerts on the guard tablet	Manual flags passed between shifts
Standard go-live	30 days or less, with white-glove setup	Months of installs and hardware scheduling

Sentry Solo · Unmanned Gates

Sentry Solo vs. Traditional Access Control Systems

For unmanned gates and entrances, compared against the callboxes, keypads, fobs, and kiosks it replaces.

Feature	Sentry Solo	Callboxes, Keypads & Kiosks
Hardware	Eliminates hardware like callboxes and keypads; the visitor's phone is the keypad	Pedestals, trenching, and wiring
Weather & vandalism	No callbox or keypad at the curb to fog, freeze, fry, or hit, just a posted SentrySign	Lightning strikes, frozen components, vehicle damage
Upkeep	No callbox or keypad to repair	Constant repairs, parts, and proprietary contracts
Guest entry	SoloPass: guests tap to open, with no app, account, or code	Call from the box and wait for an answer
Vendor entry	Scan the SentrySign and enter a unique, time-limited VirtualKeypad code	Shared keypad codes that never change
Unexpected visitors	The Intercom built into VirtualKeypad calls the home by address	A physical callbox, or no option at all
Resident entry	VirtualKey: one tap in the app, every use logged	Fobs, cards, and clickers to issue, track, and replace
HOA capital planning	No callbox or keypad replacement to plan for	Recurring hardware replacement in the reserve study

Comparisons reflect common limitations of legacy systems; capabilities vary by manufacturer and installation.

Demo Questions, Answered

What property managers ask before scheduling a Gate Sentry demo.

What happens during a Gate Sentry demo?

A specialist walks you through a demo tailored to your property: Gate Sentry for staffed gates, Sentry Solo for unmanned entrances, and Lobby Check In for commercial front desks. You'll see how residents, guests, vendors, guards, and administrators use the system, and get answers to the questions your board or ownership will ask.

Can Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo be used together?

Yes, and many communities use both. Gate Sentry runs the staffed main entrance, where guards check in visitors on a tablet, while Sentry Solo covers unmanned secondary gates, resident-only entrances, and amenities like the pool or clubhouse. Guests get one link with both a SentryPass and a SoloPass, residents use one app, and administrators see every entrance in one dashboard.

How long does setup take after the demo?

Most properties go live in 30 days or less. Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo work with your existing gates, and onboarding is white-glove: the Gate Sentry team imports your data from your current provider and trains your staff, residents, and security personnel.

Do we need to buy any hardware?

Only a tablet for guards at staffed entrances. Gate Sentry and Sentry Solo eliminate hardware like callboxes, keypads, fob readers, and kiosks. At unmanned entrances, guests tap a SoloPass on their phone, vendors scan the SentrySign QR code and enter their own code in the browser, and nobody needs to download an app except residents.

How soon will we hear back?

A specialist reaches out within one business day of your form submission. You can also call (800) 975-5971 to talk to the team directly.
